Bill Stoneberg Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Now that the time is almost here, I am wondering who is driving their Buick's to Seattle and what you are going to bring.I am trying real hard to bring my 64 Riviera up from Texas. But if that doesn't work out the 88 Wagon will be a comfortable ride too. Just slower.We leave Saturday morning and hope to be in Seattle Wednesday afternoon.

Centurion Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Over the years, I've driven to two Flint Nationals and two California Nationals. This one is much closer for me, so I'll be able to bring out both cars:'59 Electra 4-door hardtop'71 Centurion Formal Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Bill,Hope you have a great drive, just sorry I couldn't join you for the run. Have some friends from Perth who will be at the Nationals, you may catch up and have a beer - just listen out for the Aussie accent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I am driving my 69 Sport Wagon. i haven't missed a BCA national yet, but I am glad that next year it is in Flint. My wife and I are going through the upper penninsula of Michigan and across on 94 and 90 to Missoula Montana. I have relatives in Moscow Idaho, so will go from Missoula through Lolo pass and visit them. I have a 200-4R overdrive in the wagon and it has cruise and AC so it should be a good ride.

Guest Reatta1 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Since the 66 LeSabre convertible isn't ready,---- (sigh)-----, I'm stuck with the Reatta, but she's a SWEET ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Well, even though the Wildcat is back in the garage, it doesn't have the package shelf nor new carpet, so I'm driving Max, the 2005 K2500, and he'll be working for a change with a running pre-war Buick on the trailer behind...it'll be a purdy site in the rear view mirror. I don't want to drive the '41 that distance as I've not even had it on a highway myself yet...I have had it up to about 50 legally...I just haven't built enough trust in her yet.We'll be leaving Wednesday, taking it easy with the 3 kids in the back seat...I guess it would be quieter if I put them in the car We'll spend next weekend with friends in Cranbrook, BC, then to Coeur D'Alene to meet up with Tad, and in to Bellevue on Tuesday, the 24th.

Mark Shaw Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ahh yes, a BCA meet close to home! I will be sharing my 24 Master Six Truck with Rob & Amy Swearingen who are flying into Portland to drive the truck to the meet and the PWD AfterTour. I will be trailering my 13 Model 31 Buick and following the PWD caravan from Vancouver. 185 miles to Bellevue in one day is a lot to ask of an old girl with lots of miles on her, but if anybody has a problem, my rig will become the trouble trailer and I can drive the 13 the rest of the way.
