Chryslers in the Canyon V: T-Shirt and Award Artwork featuring Joe's 1968 Dodge Dart GTS

Well, good things come to those who wait...

Not only do we have a really nice custom design for our CIC V Event T-Shirts from Courtney:

We now have a killer design for the awards:

Once again, a big thanks to Courtney for the T-Shirt Design and Chad for the Award Design.

We are just 11 Days out from Chryslers in the Canyon V!

Remember, you can only get your Official CIC V Event T-Shirts Online..none will be available on site.  You can place your order here: http://www.cafepress.com/amarilloareamopars

And, to get an award with Chad's design you've got to come out to the canyon and be in attendance at the event!

We hope that you have made your plans to join us Saturday, October 12th, 2013 at Palo Duro Canyon State Park for a great day full of fun and Mopars!

Chryslers in the Canyon V: Official Event T-Shirts Available Now!

Well, as promised, you can now order in your Official Chryslers in the Canyon V T-Shirts!

Just head over to the AAM Storefront and click on the Chryslers in the Canyon V Section:
http://www.cafepress.com/amarilloareamopars/10436288

The shirts are all designed on white, as it was voted the color of choice.

The AAM Logo is on the Front, Left Chest and the back features the full rendering of Courtney's custom artwork!

These shirts are screen printed, so they are a step up from an iron on, or vinyl transfer look and should keep you cooler in the summer months.

I have ordered one in, had no issues with the order process, had the shirt in about a week, and it passed my scrutiny.  Here is what the artwork looks like on a real shirt:

You can also see it up close in a quick, video review:

There are of course other CIC Products up for order like some CIC V Stickers and various water bottles etc.  You can find more info on those products here: http://home.amarilloareamopars.com/

I can only personally vouch for what I have ordered in...so far the finish and initial quality has been very good.  When ordering, what you see is what you get.  If you see a product and the design doesn't look right, or up to your standards you have two-optoins: Don't order it, or buy it and hope for the best.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.  Cafe Press is a very reputable third party retailer and as much as I would like to stay "local" it has proven far too difficult to find someone that is into shirts/stickers etc, will take on work, does their job, and actually does it well.  I foresee no issues with Cafe Press and if you have any trouble, you can contact them directly and should get your issue resolved in a quick and professional manner.

If you want to see the CIC V Shirt, or any other of the merchandise I have ordered in let me know and I will try to make it happen.  If you order now you should have your CIC V Merchandise in BEFORE the October Cruise Night.

Hope you enjoy it, and again, a big thanks to Courtney for designing the CIC V Artwork for us!

Chryslers in the Canyon V T-Shirt Artwork by Courtney

With a few folks asking, we figured now was as good a time as any to let you in on the artwork for Chryslers in the Canyon V's T-Shirts.

You can expect order information and a preview of the finished product sometime in the next few days.

We took our Chrysler Power Magazine, Best Classic Mopar Winner, Joe, and pinned his 1968 Dodge Dart GTS against a canyon setting with the iconic lighthouse.

All artwork was designed and rendered by Courtney.  If you like her work and have a project in mind, send me the details and I will forward it on to her.  She stays pretty busy, but will take on extra projects as she is able...Advanced notice is key.  She is currently employed by a high-profile design firm and I know you won't be disappointed with her work.

With that said, here is what Courtney came up with:

Pretty snazzy, is it not?

We opted to place the AAM Logo on the Front, Left Chest:

And the CIC V Artwork Centered on the Back:

I have a sample shirt in-hand and will post up some pictures of the final product once everything is set up for ordering.

For now, feel free to grab the artwork and set it up as your Avatar on any Forums, Twitter, or User Pictures on Social Networking sites like Google + and Facebook.

A big thanks to Courtney for helping us out by making the CIC V Artwork for the shirts!

Chryslers in the Canyon V Flyer

Chryslers in the Canyon V will take place Saturday, October 12th, 2013 in scenic Palo Duro Canyon.  We have once again reserved the Mack Dick Pavilion to provide accommodations for attendees.  We are in the process of making several improvements and think that this year will be the best yet!

A few things that have not changed is the fact that the show is free, Della will be on site to take pictures of your Mopar, and we will flim your car entering the canyon and upload it on YouTube.

Among the improvements for this year will be the new meet up point at Walmart.  While, not our ideal location, due to circumstances beyond our control it will work quite well. This location is just north of town and only adds a minute or two of drive time to the cruise.

Entry fee to the park will be $5 per person, but last year they made a last minute change and gave everyone a discount...That may happen again this year, but my advice is to plan on $5 per person and then gladly take the change if it pans out that way.

Event shirts should be available on site and made to your spec.

The awards will be structured in largely the same manner, but with our pre-registration going up extremely early this year we have the flexibility to add awards or adjust a few etc.

You can help us make this happen AND increase your own chances of winning by registering now:

You can also help us out by spreading the word on Chryslers in the Canyon V and printing off flyers to hand out in your area.

We look forward to seeing you and your Mopar this October!

We do ask that winners stick around a little while after the awards ceremony so we can have Della snap pictures of you, your Mopar, and your new hardware.  It won't take long and it forever cements the memory and milestone for you and your Mopar.
