John and I both knew Ron Fusile really well. Know it’s him.

I heard back from John Thomson who is now a zone manager with Chevrolet. He was with Buick at the time. #3 Ward Boyer Field service engineer #4 John Cienki Field service engineer #5 Ron Fusile Nat'l marketing mgr #7 Earl Escue Nat'l customer service mgr #6 Dennis Lovell Marketing, also headed up the Reatta launch team #8 John somebody #9 Dennis Duford Promotion dept #10 Bruce Edwards #15 Larry Schram #16 Chris Wolf Nat'l service mgr

Ron Fusile is #5. . I am going to try and get this pix to John Thomson who is still with GM. He might be able to help.

Seated first row center (also blue suit) is Ron Fusile, then National Marketing Mgr, and next to him is Dennis Lovell who headed up the team. First row 2nd from right with the mustache I think is Dennis Duford, part of the promotional team.

Terrific Ronnie! Welcome!

I sincerely appreciate receiving the Peterson Award this year from the Reatta Division of the BCA. The Reatta folks are a great bunch of people, and I truly enjoy being a part of the group. I hope the Buick Nationals come back to the NorthEast before too long!

Sent you a message....might be able to help.

Thanks for the update, Barney. Elin and I send our best. Glad to hear she is going back home !

Thanks for the update, Barney. Hope Nancy recovers and is able to get home on the 22nd. Glad we could get together in Allentown.

Hope you had a chance to visit the C.F. Martin Guitar factory while at the Buick Nationals. It was cool to see the Reattas lined up in front of the building. The Martin people could not have been nicer to us, with a tour of the museum as well as the factory.

Ed Farnell and Jim Finn worked on my car as well. That alone was worth the trip to Allentown!

Pennsylvania construction is never-ending. Stop and go constantly. I was hoping Putin would take over Pennsylvania, rather than Ukraine. Am coming down the PA Tpk. See you on Wednesday.

Regarding Dale's post: I can't imagine this car an inch or so lower. It's all I can do to get out of it now.

After owning 3 '90 Reatta convertibles, 2 '91 Reatta coupes, and 6 '91 Reatta convertibles, I looked in my garage the other day and saw that there were none left. Not good. Found a '91 black w/tan top in North Carolina. Now I have one to drive to Allentown end of July. (Maybe will find one or two more Reatta converts there to bring back.) The Reatta people are a great bunch of folks. Looking to the BCA Nationals! Bob Popyk Past Director, BCA Reatta Division

Both Barney and Nancy are great people. They have gone out of their way to make the Reatta Division a success. Its a pleasure to know them.

I found a plate for Steve and am sending it to him when I get back up north in a few weeks. Looking forward to the first "top-down-day in May" in Central NY! :cool:

I agree. Congrats, Padgett!.

I just learned about Carole a few days ago. This is very sad and my sincere condolences go out to George and the entire family. Carole was a wonderful person to work with at the BCA National Events. She will be missed. It will not be the same without her. Rest in peace Carole.

Kudos to Harv Grotrian and Pete Phillips as well. Nice article. Remember when my car thermometer read 117 degrees one afternoon in Charlotte. Still was fun. Have made a reservation at St Mary's Inn for South Bend. See you there!

I know that this thread was highjacked, but would still be interested if the pewter model Reatta ended up being sold, or what the highest offer was. This was one of the real gems of Buick's dealer marketing department.

Thanks Marck, for posting the pictures. Here's a few from my I-phone.... It really was a great show!

It was nice seeing all the Reatta folks in Charlotte. Like Barney said "more Crosley station wagons were produced then the entire Reatta run". We may be a small division of the BCA, but the people who make it up are a great group. Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the first Reatta made. Hope to see you in South Bend!

We got here around 4:00 Stopped in Mayberry first to visit the Andy Griffith museum and Floyd's Barber Shop. Actually Mayberry is really Mt. Airy, NC. Very cool. Looking forward to a a great time at the BCA nationals.

My '91 white/flame red convert was also built for export. Full time fog lights, a/c plug coming out of the crankcase to heat the oil during the winter (not sure what that was called) and special adapter for a child restraint seat. I remember this car came from a dealer with 30,000 miles on it and it had never been registered. These cars are out still out there I guess. Hope this seller gets what he's looking for out of his car.
