  1. 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!!

    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.

    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

  4. 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. ?

  5. 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!
