TORONTO, Ont. – The DuPont Show and Shine – held in conjunction with Truck World – featured a full contingent of interesting rigs from right across North America.

While monsoon-type conditions made for a soggy opening day of the show, the weather did eventually clear up, providing judges with the opportunity to make the rounds on Saturday.

In the end, it was Mike Duffy’s 1989 International that took top honors, winning the distinction of Best in Show.

He also won best paint-non-mural, best engine, company bobtail and International’s own award, best International in show.
