20 FREE Tickets to Emerald Coast Cruizin Classic Car Show

by Jason Koertge November 11, 2009 • 107 comments

This weekend’s HUGE event is the Emerald Coast Cruizin Classic Car Show that will have the festive grounds at Frank Brown Park filled to the brim with sweet shiny show cars ranging from rat-rods to glossy polished hot-rod school buses. Last year’s event had cars stretching from one end to another in an endless sea of machismo. This year’s event promised to be even more promising with thousands of cars in attendance.

I’ve always worked closely with the event promoters to do everything I could to help this event be successful as it is truly one of a kind. And this year, they’ve been gracious enough to give us 20 tickets to giveaway: ten 3 day passes and ten 1 day passes. That’s right, 20 tickets total. We’ll be giving them away in sets of two to keep it simple, so there will be 10 winners total.

I’m so stoked about this event, the weather is expected to be phenomenal.

HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST

So, in the past we’ve had some confusion as to what to do on these contests. We run a little different operation here. In order to “register” for a chance to win the tickets, there’s not actually any registering. In order to be entered into the contest, all you have to do is post a comment in the comments section below.

In order to post a comment, you need to enter your name, your email address, your web site url (if you have one – this is optional) and your comment. For the comment, tell us what you favorite car from last year was at the Emerald Coast Cruizin car show, and if you weren’t there, tell us your favorite classic hot rod. Make something up if you have to!

This is a quick contest, so act fast! We’ll be doing the drawing tomorrow (Thursday November 12 2009) at noon, and notifying the winners to pick up their tickets between 1 and 2 pm tomorrow! (Alternate pick up times will be provided too)

HERE ARE THE RULES

Each entrant can enter once and only once (we can verify this by ip AND cookies) and must use a valid first name and email address.
Contest begins when this post is published and ends on Thursday November 11, 2009 at 12 noon CST.
We will be doing the drawing regardless of how many people enter.
All winners will be chosen at random. There will be 10 winners total.
By entering you are opting in to receive future newsletters and emails from pcbdaily and The Beach Show and you are opening yourself up to the greatest resource for news and information Panama City Beach has to offer.
If you are selected and you do not respond to our email notifying you of winning by 5:30 pm CST Thursday November 12, 2009, then we reserve the right to either keep the prize for another give away in the future or award the prize to another entrant.
This giveaway is open to anyone in the continental United States, however due to the time-sensative nature of this event, we will not mail these tickets. If you win, you will be solely responsible for picking up your tickets.

41 Kathy Boswell November 11, 2009 at 12:38 pm

I liked the 64 mustangs. Powder blue with white interior was my particular favorite. I also liked seeing some of the older cadillacs. Would love to take my son again who is a subscriber (through me of course) of Road & Track @ age 13 and has been since age 11! He loves this stuff.

42 Bob Carlton November 11, 2009 at 12:42 pm

I WANT TO GO

43 Warner November 11, 2009 at 12:43 pm

Hi Jason, PCB is a great site to keep us baby-boomers in Atlanta informed on all the happening events in Panama City Beach. We had hoped by now to have sold our home in ATL so we could retire and move to PCB permanently, but the recession has put our retirement plans on hold, so we will just try to visit PCB as often as possible and your site lets us know when to plan for great events. The crusin car show sounds great, it will be awesome to view the vintage cars and relate certain cars to events & experiences in ones life. My favorite vintage cars are the 60′s corvettes and muscle cheve’s. Looks like great weather for the weekend, looking forward to the show whether its free or not. thanks, and keep up all the good reporting on PCB events & happenings……Warner

44 Jan November 11, 2009 at 12:46 pm

70 Ed and Bev Grice November 11, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Hi
We loved the Cruzin’ show last year! We are Canadians down for the winter and there are so many oldies (cars, I mean!) here. We love touring and filming them at Pier Park and then again when they are downtown in Panama City near the Marina Centre. We’re still looking for a 1965 Acadian Beaumont convertible – just like we used to own.
May the weather co-operate!! Bring on the parade…..
Bev and Ed

Lynn

89 Cliff Holmes November 12, 2009 at 10:39 am

Wonderful news about the new airport and Southwest!! This will pull people from areas, including Europe, that were hesitant to enjoy our wonderful beaches an be a part of the community.

90 Marsha November 12, 2009 at 10:40 am

I don’t have a favorite car. I love all of the old cars, and it’s great to see them driving around PCB.

91 Jim Mitchell November 12, 2009 at 10:42 am

Another good event to get people in the area during the off season. Why do they all wind up at Sandpiper Beacon?

92 Rhonda November 12, 2009 at 10:45 am

We have seen some sweet cars cruisin’ round. It would be fun to win tickets to the show.

93 laura thompson November 12, 2009 at 10:56 am

I love the 65 T-birds….

94 Trudy November 12, 2009 at 11:12 am

Would love to go to this event.

95 Joyce November 12, 2009 at 11:14 am

We owned a baby-blue 1972 340 Plymouth Duster. Hubby said it passed everything but a gas station. Loved, loved that car. It would be great to see one at the car show.

96 Lindsey Surra November 12, 2009 at 11:26 am

Love to go to the local car shows here in pc, have no real big favorites, they are all great toys. A goal in life would be to actually own one, maybe a 1969 stingray! That would be very nice.

97 steve November 12, 2009 at 11:37 am

I hate to say but I am a babyboomer.Most babyboomers love old cars and that includes me. I am so glad that Panama city beach has this event each year and we get to enjoy all of the old carsthat the owners have put so much time and money into for everyone to see. Thanks to every one .

98 Jess Eberhart November 12, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Jason, I missed last years show, but it sounds like a great one. My most favorite car (and I have had a few) was a ’52 Chev., 2 door hardtop, with a worked over ’56 Jimmy 6 engine. Best run was 13.2 in the quarter mile. I would consistently whip my brother in his ’57 Chev with a V-8. Ahh, those were good times.

Please keep up the good work. I enjoy reading your up-dates on the airport.

99 Karen November 12, 2009 at 12:02 pm

Mustang, mustang

100 Lacey Belt November 12, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Never been to a car show! Would love to win tickets to surprise my husband! His favorite is a 1972 Cuda with a 440 hemi. I don’t even know what that is, maybe one will be there!

101 Margaret November 12, 2009 at 12:37 pm

I love many, but my first car was a ’66 Mustang, which will forever have my heart! My ex had a ’65 and our youngest son bought a red ’66 a few years ago. But, there are so many awesome classics and hot rods at the show. Can’t wait to attend this years show.

102 Mary Zombori November 12, 2009 at 12:47 pm

I’m hoping to win so I can attend for the first time! I have a soft spot for the old Morris Garage convertibles, or any convertible for that matter. Hoping to see some there, and what better place to see them than in PC Beach, FL!
