shart Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have a special affinity for this year because I grew up with these cars in my family. I now own four. I’d like to see a bunch in Springfield. We can park together and “kick” tires about ‘65’s. I’m going to try and bring three of my four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxBuicks Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 This will be a great opportunity to celebrate some of Buick's best designs. The iconic 1965 Riviera with the vertical hidden headlights and the introduction of the Gran Sport, to name a few. In past meets, it has been an organized focus by the meet planners and then just a matter of getting the word out. A few successful attempts included the outstanding gathering of over 50 1959 Buicks at the Colorado show in 2009, and the fabulous collection of 1936-1938 Buicks that showed up in Charlotte. Thank Brian DePouli for that one. As far as I know, there has not been a call from anyone running the meet this year. That's not to say it can't happen. Just get the word out and challenge anyone with a 1965 Buick to bring it and lets see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren@65GS.com Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 There will be a good number of '65 GS's in attendance. We presently have a dozen committed to this show bringing their '65 Gran Sports.We have a hard core group at 65GS.com and are working hard to bring attention to our first year GS.Loren@65GS.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yea, the 54 Buick gang had the slogan "54 '54's"at the Charlotte event. I think we only missed it by 50! I bet if you start now with "65 '65's at Springfield" you could do it Steve! Would love to see your Riviera GS, but it won't be this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 What about the 1915 Buicks that are now 100 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nut465GS Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I plan to be there with two 1965 Skylark Gran Sport convertibles. Hopefully I will finish the restoration of the second convertible in time. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdminc Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I will have my 65 Riviera in Springfield too, a triple black one I call Black Beauty. It will be great to see a whole mess of 50 year old beauties all on the same show field.Rock Ongord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm only bringing a 40 year old car, the 1975 Electra. The teens have insisted for a few years now that we have the '66 Wildcat in Allentown next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxBuicks Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 These are the 1965 Buicks currently registered for 2015. Registrations are still early, though. I typically will receive about half of all registrations in the final month before deadline. 3 GS, 2 Wildcats, 1 Skylark, 2 Rivieras. Get yours in now so we can keep a running count and keep interest up. I will update these figures as we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I belong to the Pontiac-Oakland Club, and what they do each year is honor the 50th and 75thanniversaries of the Pontiac models that have reached that milestone. They park them all togetherand have a popular vote award for the favorite of each one handed out at the awards ceremony. Thisgenerates a lot of interest and lots of people show up with their cars when they turn 50 or 75. Pontiacisn't eligible for a 100th anniversary award as the first one didn't get built till 1926.
