Hello! I wanted to share my new-to-me car.
After selling my Suburban back in September, I've been looking for a station wagon... Preferably one 1970-1995, big block, bucket seats, not blue, and preferably GM (although I didn't say this out loud). I can't tell you how many cars I've looked at in that time! However, none really "spoke" to me, nor kept me thinking about it. I first looked at this on in the beginning of December - she's a 1995. While this one is blue, it doesn't have a BBC - but it does have an LT1 - nor does it have bucket seats (it has a split bench), it's in pretty good shape and bought from the original owner. There's been no modifications, mileage is around 114,000 miles and it's been sitting for a few years. We've already bought a few things, ordered a bunch of parts and will get started getting her running.
Now I know this is not what most of you would pick up, this works for me as it needs to be my daily driver as well as my AACA car and I think this will work well in HPOF! If you have owned one and have anything you'd like to share about what to look for/watch out for, what was good or bad, please feel free to share.
She won't be on the showfield this year obviously, but look for her in 2020!!

I flew in and was charged for parking, but caught the mistake before I left.

Cool button! If it works out, I'd like to attend too
-
My mistake. I didn't know they were also mailed in. So many are uploaded electronically.

Lisa, once you enter the contest (Newsletter Achievement
and Awards Program) in March, you will be sent a list of
addresses. Those individuals (usually 3 in number) will be judging your
newsletter and awarding it points according to specific criteria in many categories.
That's not current information. Editors submit to a Google drive folder and evaluators are given a list of newsletters to review between April-Oct/Nov each year.
good Luck with it all Lisa! it can be fun and daunting all at the same time.

I wouldn't worry about the running boards as they are period correct. I had them on my Suburban and didn't get dinged for them.
remove the cap, rain guards, put the stock wheels on with proper tires and go!

Has anyone gotten their confirmation back yet? I mailed mine a month ago, and emailed the the person who is accepting registrations earlier this week and have not heard anything back?
Got my email also

Still don't have a car or truck to show, but I'm booked for the show! I need me some Florida in February!

It is simply gorgeous as is! Wish I could take it home as it's something I would love to have.

Please don't limit your comment to future generations of MEN. As previously mentioned the WOMAN driving the orange Duesenberg racer certainly seemed to like the car as I watched her start it up an incline and drive off as impressively as man would have done.
Thank you - I was thinking the same thing

I wanted to share photos from yesterday's NC Region Fall Meet hosted by the Furnitureland Chapter. The show is held at the NC Transportation Museum! It's a fantastic venue - even in the rain!

Hi Mike!! So nice to meet you too!! Joel and I always say it's the people that makes this hobby so wonderful and we keep meeting more and more wonderful people. The money spent at the banquet is so worth it for the new friendships made and old one rekindled. ?
-
The owner of that Suburban made me not want to buy it. He was quite rude so I walked away lol Definitely nice stuff out there!
-
Alrighty, here's my google link to over 500 photos mostly taken by my husband Joel! Enjoy!

Sadly, I found nothing that caught my eye in the car corral or the show field. I'm still looking tho!!!
-
I agree - I kept saying to my husband and father in law, "I can't imagine how much work this was to put together every year!!"
Just amazing... so well done, everything was great, although I'd love to see another beautiful day like 2017 Show Day in 2017
See you in 2019!
