June 8th, 1974. 9:12 AM.
The final day of the Letara Automotive Convention has arrived, and this day would be the most exciting. The judges would meet for the last time to debate on which car would recieve the coveted “CAR OF THE YEAR” award. The judges looked at the cars that entered into the finals.
The first car that the judges decided to look at was the Wolfram WLF-6. It was scored the highest in its previous round and it did pretty well in this round. It had a decent design compared to the other cars, but it didn’t really attract the attention of the judges. What did catch the judges’ eyes was the amount of new technology it had an EFI system and a catalytic converter in the engine; a cassette player and 80’s safety tech in the interior. This made it the least polluting and most advanced car presented.
The next car, the Mara Kavaler, was not built for this category. While it wasn’t downright ugly, it really didn’t have a unique and eye catching design compared to the other cars. The interior design was also quite lackluster. It lacked new technology, it had average safety and its emissions were abysmal, with it being the most polluting car in the category. It was so bad that the convention hall that contained the Mara Kavaler had to be evacuated on the 3rd day!
The judges looked at the Primus Astrona next, which was another car not fit for this category. It shared the same design issues as the previous car: Not unique and eye-catching. It also had similar safety and lack of technology too. Thankfully, it didn’t have disaster causing emissions like the Kavaler.
Now here is something a bit more interesting: The Wolfe Vampira. This car was probably the most unique one that made it to the finals, as it had a very eye-catching design. However, it was a bit of polarizing, as there were some people that weren’t fans of the looks. The car had that same new technology as the Wolfram, except for the Catalytic Converter, which gave it a boost in interest.
The Wraith Neapolitan was the next car to be reviewed by the judges. While the design may not be as eye-catching as the previous car, it does still have a rather great design, and the interior was really nice! Even though it is a luxury car, it did not have futuristic safety tech, yet it was still the safest car presented. The only new tech it did have was a catalytic converter.
The next car the judges looked over was actually made by the same company as the previous car, even though it is a different marque. Like the previous car, it had a great design and very well made interior that was a favorite! It too, had a catalytic converter. Unfortunately, it did not have as high of a safety score.
The last car that would be presented to the judges is the Knighwick. A rather simple car, there isn’t anything to unique about it, except for it being a small hatchback, yet the judges still liked its simple design. The interior was rather basic in design too. The car brought no new technology to the table and was the least safest car presented.
The judges were finished, and knew what car the shoud elect as car of the year. The judges were rather excited, but a little sad, that they would be giving the award out and closing the convention.

Congrats to @abg7 and their car that has been chosen as the car of the year. They will have the privilege of hosting the next auto convention. It they do not want to host, then the next person on the above podium can decide whether or not they want to host, then the next, and so on. Try to create it soon after LHC submissions closes and try to keep it based around the challenge. I’m glad that all of you had decided to join in and enjoy this challenge and I hope you have a wonderful day or night!
