Best of Show Automotive and the Mentor Museum of Speed Announce Record Attendance

Mentor, OH (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- Best of Show Automotive, one of the finest classic and muscle car organizations in the world, is proud to announce the success of its recent Mentor Museum of Speed Grand Opening Weekend celebration which drew over 4,800 attendees and 410 classic cars during the weekend.

"The fact that we doubled our expectations is a clear demonstration of the strong interest people have for classic, muscle and high-performance cars," said Joseph Carroll, President and CEO of Best of Show Automotive. "As part of our commitment to the appreciation and preservation of the industry, we launched our Mentor Museum of Speed several months ago as a facility exclusively for the classic, muscle, and high-performance enthusiasts to view, discuss, and buy world-class vehicles from eras gone by in an informed and interactive setting."

Best of Show Automotive's Mentor Museum of Speed's Grand Opening Weekend featured free access to the museum's $10 million worth of world-class inventory, an outstanding car show that seemed to have every marque represented, interactive displays, free music, food, arcade games, prizes, and the opportunity to ask questions and gain advice from Best of Show Automotive's world-class restoration experts. The free weekend also enabled attendees to discuss critical topics and share best practice experiences directly with fellow enthusiasts and industry experts.

"In this watered-down classic car market, special emphasis needs to be placed on quality and integrity," said George Murphy, Best of Show's Vice President of Operations. "Better insight into craftsmanship and decisions based on concrete data is the key to preserving the industry, rather than wading through endless amounts of information. Our team feels a sense of responsibility toward our loyal following and to the community as a whole. It's a pleasure to be a driving force in the industry and we pride ourselves on promoting that common cause."

Best of Show Automotive will be hosting a number of events throughout the year. For more information or to be added to our announcements campaign, please email newsandevents@bestofshowautomotive.com.
