One last reminder. Forecast calls for Sunny high of 83F. We hope you can make it.

After the event I'll post some photos for those a too far from NC to make it.

We had a nice sunny day today and drew about 51 cars total, 15 Buicks. Best of Show winner was the 53 Skylark pictured below owned by Zack Backmon of Mt Airy, NC.

Here are some photos

Thanks for sharing Brian. Did you notice if the '61 was a LeSabre or Invicta?

[38Buick 80C]

The 61 in the photos is an Invitca owned by DR Augsberger. It won Best Buick Modified. He has tons of chrome on that car. It's a nicely done modified.

There was an all orginal HPOF 61 E225 there as well owned by Dave Berquist. Neat story on that car. Three years ago that car was sitting on the lot of the dealership who hosted us for this show. The orginal owner bought from the dealer and somehow it has made its way back there and was just sitting out side. Dave bought the car which is in really great shape for an almost 50 year old car.
