First place winner Classic car enthusiast Wafter Denys of Kippen recently placed first at a Michigan convention with his 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria. This past weekend he also took first prize at an all - Ford show in Oakville in the covered car category. Denys places first with 1956 Ford Fairlane The Meadow Mist green Crown Victoria was the most photographed car at a recent convention By Heather Mir T -A Reporter KIPPEN - After years of pains- taking restoration, Walter has finally received recognition for re- creating a nearly per- fect 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria. He placed first in the judge class as well as in public opinion at the Crown Victoria As- sociation Annual Con- vention held recently in Dearborn, Michigan. The show features Fords built between 1954 and '56. "There was nothing on that car that didn't need to be re -done, " said Denys who explained ex- plained he has tried to load the car up with every possible option avail- able in 1956 including tinted glass, chrome, air conditioning, power Denys windows and even an exclusively Canadian option, a nail guard under the door handle. In the year the car was built, only 147 were painted all Meadow Mist green. Many of the judg- es commented it was the first of its kind they had seen in show. Judges check for correctness as well as workmanship, fit, finish and cleanliness during their inspection. Denys has searched throughout North Amer- ica to find the parts he required to rebuild the Fairlane. Only 603 were ever built and this makes finding pieces to refurbish the car difficult and expensive. "The car has to be as it was when k rolled off the assembly line," he explained. Despite the hours of work it took him to bring the Fairlane back to "It almost took over my life for awhile." r.7-1 Zurich preparing for weekend festival TIe beans are now being cooked.

He has been re- building the car since he purchased it in 1989. "It almost took over my life for awhile," he said, adding he was "proud as a peacock" while the car was being judged. Although the Crown Victoria is in the best condition it is ever like- ly to be in, he hasn't decided if he will part with the vintage auto- mobile. His wife encourages him to drive the car and enjoy it after all the work he's put into the res- toration, but he also feels he has to be practical. He has several cars he works on periodically but it's the Fairlane he will take to Ford Shows. After placing first at the convention, he's earned bragging rights and intends to use them.
