I know we were supposed to go somewhere either in the wyndham hotel or on the show field to pickup the plaques, but I also totally forgot about it. Hopefully there are some left for those of us who forgot.

Thank you. Very interesting and informative and enjoyable.

Thanks again to each and everyone of you involved in puting this show on from Board members to the Judges and participants. It was an incredible feat and seemed to go flawlessly. Everyone I spoke to had nothing but good things to say and were extremelyly happy to be there. My class (36F) had more cars than most Meets I have attended. The Buicks came out in force in many classes and we had 7 of them in my class. I am not great at posting small MB pictures so here are two photos of six of the Gran Sports together at the end of the show in class 36F as one had already left to load up. Thanks again to all of you it was a great feeling to get on the road again to a Meet. P.S. My results were everything I could hope for as my 1973 mostly original Yellow Stage1 Suncoupe surprised me again by going further than I thought possible winning a First Grand National. My 1973 Harvest Gold Stage1 4 Speed also won its Senior Grand National. To say I was happy with the results is an understatement! Looking forward to Hershey and seeing some of you at the Greenbrier Concours with the Gold car. You all deserve a round of thanks and applause for a job very well done. Will post what pictures I got a chance to take on the AACA FaceBook page.

Leaving tomorrow at 10AM with my Yellow '73 Gran Sport and the Gold '73 Gran Sport will be leaving with my best friend and mechanic after work tomorrow. Busy week with lots of last minute car preparations. Can't wait for this show. Will be a welcome sight to see coming back to Gettysburg after doing the Founders Tour there in '17 and the National Meet in '18.

Hi Mark. Hope all is well. Say hi to Marion for me. I do not recall the name of the woman I spoke to at the reservation desk. She did say that it was on record and they were waiting for the block of rooms to open. She also said she woud call back and confirm the change when the room rate became available. I will be bringing the Gold 1973 Stage1 4 Speed to Hershey. I hope to bring both the Yellow and Gold cars to the Grand National. The yellow car going for its First and the Gold car going for its Senior. Looking forward to seeing you both at the 2 events. Stay safe, Philip

Thanks, Steve. I just called and they will call me back to adjust my confirmed reservation as soon as the block of rooms opens. My room just went down for 2 nights at over $700 to the $199 per night. A nice savings. My deposit is almost enough now to cover both nights. 🙂 Thanks again.

Recieved my confirmation! Looking forward to being there and seeing everyone and their beautiful cars.

I sent a self addressed return envelope with a postage stamp as usual. Nothing was said when I downloaded the registration online.

Thanks for getting this done. My registration is going out today in the mail.

Thanks for the update! Great job with the hotels! My reservations have already automatically been changed to reflect the new dates. Both reservations now set for August 21. We did call the hotel to confirm the new dates. Thanks again We are staying at the Staybridge Suites.

My Grandson got his first two magazines last Monday or Tuesday. (last months and the current issue) I did not recieve mine till Friday. Same house address. Very nice issue as usual. Congratulations to all the National Award winners, and to all the other members who had their cars in the magazine.

I get the emails and FB stuff from the region and was thinking of joining. Too bad about the 70 cutoff. I miss it by 3 years. Also May 17 is out for me as the GSCA Buick Nationals in Bowling Green Ky. ends on the 16th. (My Birthday!) Oh well. 😞 P.S. I live 10 minutes from Ridgefield.

OOOPs, sorry and corrected! 😇

i recieved the notice of acceptance back for 1 car so far. 😎 (My Yellow '73 Buick Sun Coupe) Hoping I get the other one soon as it is the car going for it's Senior Grand National Award. (My Gold '73 Buick 4 speed) Thanks Ms Buckley for the quick response.

Two vehicle registrations sent. My friend Judy Stropus who picked up Karl Ludvigsen's National Award for his Reid Railton book tried to get me an extra registration form at the National Meeting. ( Couln't get there myself due to medical issues) She was unable to do so because the table for it was closed. She was told I should make a copy of the form which I did. Both registrations went out in seperate envelopes. My Hotel has been booked for quite a while. Looking forward to this and getting back to the NB Center for a third time. This is going to be a way cool event. As ex98th said if they don't for some reason get there, please let me know if possible. I watched my Mail man pick them up from the mail box about a half hour ago. Thanks!

MY kids and me with my SSA Miata in 1993 at the SCCA National at New Hampshire International Speedway. My Grandson last year with Skip Barber and Skip's Fiat Abarth as an official Judge at the Lime Rock Sunday in the Park Concours.

The car is a great driving and handling car. Very solid build quality. It drives like a Mercedes should when you are just cruising around town, then when asked for it is an animal and still drives comfortably. All depends on the driving modes. Lots of options to play with for track, highway and street. The sounds it makes are right out of hot rod heaven when you want. I am an ex SCCA racer and this car does it all.

I bought this 2016 Mercedes AMG GTS Edition1 2 years ago this coming June with 1470 miles on it. Paid about 35% off list. Only 268 built for the USA. 375 built worldwide. I think this might be a collectible in the future. I think it's an instant classic. Only my kids will know for sure. In the meantime I am driving and enjoying every mile and minute of doing so. I now have about 5400 miles on it and is put away for the winter. Has an unlimited mileage factory warranty through June 2022

Photos are now posted on the AACA FaceBook page. Almost 300 pictures. A huge Thank you to Mr. Bulgari for inviting us. Another thank you to Marty Schorr for arranging this. You are a great friend and I highly value our relationship. Thank you also to my new friend Kieth Flickinger, your enthusiasm and knowledge, and you and your crews workmanship are second to none. The 50 Anniversary of the BCA at the facility was a wonderful experience. Yesterday was even better.

First one in my '73 GS Stage1 Sun Coupe at Lime Rock this year getting its Best in Class trophy at this years Lime Rock Park Sunday in the Park Concours. Second one is from a photo shoot for an upcoming article scheduled for April 2020 in Muscle Car Review for my '73 GS Stage1 Four speed.

I will be there with my Harvest Gold Stock appearing '73 Gran Sport 455 F.A.S.T./ SuperCar races car in a small group of A body GM cars. My other '73 Harvest Gold GS Stage1 4 speed AACA National Award nominated 2018 & 2019 '73 won a Concours Gold (1000 points out of 1000) and Pinnacle Award for Best Buick in 2017. My '73 1 of 4 SCO paint and 1 0f 45 built Stage1 SunCoupe won a Concours Gold (986 points) and a Pick Award from the Sloan Museum in 2016.

Will be going to the NB Center in Allentown for a private tour Veterans day (Nov. 11) with Marty Schorr of Cars magazine, Motion cars and Buick PR fame. We will be getting a private tour and spending the day with Keith Flickinger. Mr Bulgari is heading back to Rome this Wednesday. Will post pictures when I return home. Looking forward to being there again and having the private tour and lunch on the premises.

It isn't with a antique car, but it is a future collectible, my '16 AMG GTS Edition1. 1 of 350 made for the USA.

Was a wonderful event. It is habit forming. I wont repeat what everyone else said, I agree with it all, and the event gets better every year. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to everyone involved!

Thanks, Lamar. It was great seeing you again. Hope you used or found someone for those Banquet tickets. Will be bringing the car to the BCA National in Ohio this year, God willing. Hotel reservations are made. I am looking forward to it and seeing you there.
