Spring Fling '99 Art Show

by Rich and Janet Hirsch

Spring Fling is the annual event sponsored by the St Louis Alfa Romeo Owner's Club and is held every April in Washington Missouri. In addition to a rally, concours, autocross, and banquet, an art exhibition is part of the competition. The rules are simple: any original automotive-related art is eligible. This year's theme was "Heavy Metal."

There were nine entries this year and the quality was better than ever. Pictured below are some of the outstanding entries:
