Greg Savage has a passion for working on cars.
An electrical engineer who lives in Parkland, he won Best in Show, the highest award, for his restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro at the Hot Rods and Hot Dogs car show in Coconut Creek on June 13.
“I have worked on this car for three and a half years, and I have put a lot of sweat into this car,” said Savage.
His longtime friend, Vice Mayor John Brodie, said, “Greg is a good engineer and is very meticulous when working on engines.”
He was among 78 entries in the Hot Rods show, according to Eric Fernon, a judge with Cobra Joe Productions, which ran the event. “We had some beautiful cars here,” he said.
Frank Tamarez and his 1968 Plymouth Road Runner.
Frank Tamarez, of Coral Springs, brought his 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. The Navy veteran said that restoring an older car takes a lot of effort, but he likes doing it.
Restoring cars and attending shows is something Carlo Avolio, of Margate, also enjoys. He brought his 1970 Chevelle and said working on cars is something he loves to do.
Leslie Rosenfeld brought his 1966 Excalibur and said he enjoyed being a part of the show. “It is hard to find parts for this car,” he said.
