Pete Phillips Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I and several other North Texas Chapter members will be heading for Salado tomorrow. I will try to post photos of the cars during the meet, assuming the weather cooperates, so check back on this thread for updates. I think there will be a pretty good turn-out.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was going to try and haul the convertible up, but it looks like I would get the new floors wet. I'll drive my 55 instead. That one won't get hurt if it gets wet!Kiwi Chris, are you coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks, Pete. Not as good as being there though. I was packed and ready to head out when ol'man flu struck. Bummer. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wet overcast day in Texas...... I have about an hour drive to Salado in the '39... we will see how much it leaks. I hope they have at least a hose there to wash off the road scum. We are also taking the 1991 Reatta that we purchased last fall from the Bulguri collection, it now has 18,000 miles. Departing soon....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The beige / brown 32 above won best of show while the blue 32 won 1st place. Both were absolutely beautiful and meticulously restored.The lilac (purple) colored 59 belongs to Pete and it tied for 3rd place with Barney's Black 39 Century with the side mounts.2nd year in a row Pete has won with a car he has brought.Lots of nice cars, the rain held off until the show was over and everyone had a fun time.

Barney Eaton Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I did not realise until this a.m. but I lost my red Nikon digital camera with all my pictures. I will call the hotel but suspect it was taken off the seat of my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 This just reminded me of why I'm in this club. The drive was gorgeous, the car ran great and is such a pleasure to drive, I saw a few cars I had never seen, and hanging out having a beer tasting with Bill's choice in microbrews along with shootin' the ship (unedited ) with car guys.Awesome car day!

Barney Eaton Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The last photo looks like a political spy shot........ a BCA board member and BCA board candidate partially blocked by beer bottles. It looks like a set-up photo op. Photo was probably taken from someone associtated with the Edsel club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
