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

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GRAPEVINE, TX, April 21, 2007 - Some of the world's best cars will come together to help homeless animals at the Classy Cars & Canines Show on June 9 at the Grapevine Mills Mall. The event, which runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., will showcase a wide array of cars - with all proceeds going to the SPCA of Texas.

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.

"This seemed like a great way to combine two of life's great passions," said Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFW Elite Auto Rental.com and a lifelong dog lover. "I can't think of a better way to spend the day than looking at beautiful cars and raising money for animals that truly need our help."

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 and canines. 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). In the four-legged category, awards will include Best Owner/Dog Look-alike and Best Dog/Car Look-alike.

Of course, 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.
