LA GRANDE — A record number of vehicles lined Adams Avenue on Saturday, July 16, as the Timber Cruisers Car Club held its annual La Grande Classic Car Show.

Amid the dozens of outstanding classic cars one vehicle stood out from the rest and was awarded the Best of Show trophy made by Matt Babbs of La Grande, according to a press release. The winning car: a 1933 copper and champagne Ford Roadster owned by Wally and Judy Belt, of Salem.

Mary Ann Miesner, a member of the Timber Cruisers, said the Belts have owned several winning cars. According to Miesner, Judy said this is the last car they will purchase, but Wally just smiled.
