An Award Winning Classic
August 6, 2015Signal Hill Petroleum’s VP of Drilling/Rig Operations, Kevin Laney, was honored at the 25th annual Sultan’s Car Club of Long Beach car show. The anniversary show, which took place at Signal Hill Park on Sunday, August 2nd, featured over 250 pre-1975 model cars and trucks for viewing as patrons strolled through the park listening to classic tunes from the 50’s and 60’s. The annual show is such a special event for the City of Signal Hill as proceeds benefit Signal Hill youth groups and admission to the show is free, making it a community building and family-friendly show.
In the midst of the sea of custom classics, Laney’s beautiful Mariner blue 1950 Chevy pickup secured the prestigious Mayor’s Award presented by Mayor Larry Forester. Laney paid special homage to Signal Hill Petroleum by placing the company’s logo on both doors of the truck. Referring to his truck, Laney said it garnered, “a lot of positive attention – partly due to the logos, which a lot of locals recognized”. While the Chevy truck took home a People’s Choice Award at a show in Temecula, the significance of winning in Signal Hill brings special pride. Laney relayed that he hopes to continue to enter his truck in more shows as he and his family have a lot of fun doing so.
