67-72 Contests?

[Mike Bradbury]

As we come to the close of another TOTM contest, I noticed that another non 67-72 truck was chosen again. Although very deserving because it was an awesome truck, as all of the choices have been. I noticed as I was looking through the archives of the last year that there have been only two (that's right two) 67-72 era TOTM winners in all of 20010/11 contests, all the rest have been 50's -66 era. As I said all have been awesome trucks and deserving of acclaim, but I would think on a 67-72 Chevy site that there would be a bit more of a lean to our particular era.

No this is not sour grapes because I did not win, I just like the fact that my truck is done enough to even get votes and I have had fun getting her to this point. I actually thought that Sweet Pea had it in the bag from the moment Tony entered and was surprised at the out come. I am a classics nut and I love most vintage vehicles for their unique quality in each of their own respects. I do however have a bent toward the 67-72 shape as I imagine other owners of other eras have as well.

As I went back further most of the winners were in fact 67-72 trucks, but now it seems a rarity to have one win. I am just curious to know if anyone else has noticed this trend?
