Vintage and Exotic Automobiles Are Going to the Dogs at the Classy Cars & Canines Show

DFW Elite Auto Rental.com Sponsors Car Show to Benefit the SPCA of Texas



    /24-7PressRelease/ - GRAPEVINE, TX, May 08, 2007 - Does your pooch look like your Pontiac? Is your hound a dead ringer for your Hummer? If so, you don't want to miss the chance to prove it to the rest of the world - or at least the Dallas/Fort Worth area!

The Classy Cars & Canines Show, set for June 9 at the Grapevine Mills Mall, will include a Best Dog/Car Look-Alike Contest in its festivities. The event, which runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., will also include a Best Owner/Dog Look-Alike contest and will showcase a wide array of cars - with all proceeds going to the SPCA of Texas. The winner of the Best Dog/Car Look-Alike Contest will walk away with a five-foot-tall trophy - something that's sure to give them bragging rights and a conversation piece for years to come!

Sponsored by DFW Elite Auto Rental.com, the event will feature old, new, exotic, custom, pickup and special interest vehicles, and car clubs are welcome to participate. The show is open to any car enthusiast interested in participating, and the $20 registration fee goes directly to the SPCA of Texas.

"There are a lot of contests out there for dogs and owners that look alike, but you don't find many where people can show that their dog and their car look alike," said Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFW Elite Auto Rental.com. "This is a great way to have fun with our pets and our cars - and help raise money for animals that truly need our help at the same time."

The Classy Cars & Canines Show, which will be in front of the AMC Theaters at Grapevine Mills, will include a number of awards for both cars as well. For the four-wheeled participants, awards will be given for People's Choice, Best Modified/Race Car, Best of Show (1995 or newer) and Best of Show (1994 or older).

The event is open to both people and their pets. Dogs must be leashed and be current on vaccinations to attend. In addition to the cars, attractions will include the SPCA MAV (Mobile Adoption Vehicle), a 30-foot converted van with kennels. The air-conditioned MAV is a great place for pet lovers to meet new four-legged friends that are in need of a new home, so this is the perfect place to adopt a new family member. For a donation of $3 or a new dog toy, attendees can also enter a drawing to win a Drive Your Dream automotive tour from DFW Elite Auto Rental.com.
