JohnD1956 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 This thread is intended to be a pictorial salute to BCA members with their cars. I'll open the thread with a picture of Bonnie Colone with her 55 Special ( posted with permission), taken at the Schoharie Valley Region AACA show. Hopefully we can see some similar pics from the National, and then keep the thread alive in the future, to put a name with a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 John,Thanks for the reminder that we have some great Buicks here in the Northeast. I hope we see them all in Danvers.

JohnD1956 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I doubt we will see the last three John. These folks belong to the car club that runs the spring Rhinebeck meet and one of their annual trips is to the Bennington show. I do not expect they will join us from there.But I am wondering where the other cars are? I hope no one thinks this thread is restricted to just my pictures. It would be great to see pics from all over on this thread. Edited September 11, 2010 by JohnD1956 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Introducing Phil Smith, AKA Dr. Phil with his 68 Electra. This was taken on Constitution Island during the formative meeting for a new Chapter in the lower Hudson Valley of NY. Constitution Island is directly across from West Point NY, and was instrumental in the Colonies fight for independance during the Revolutionary War. Great place being held by the US govt for posterity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James Conkwright Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 My high school senior picture...fall 2003. Lost a lot of hair since then!! I knew it was coming though. Also had to include my better half. She's mad I edited the picture and made the car brighter than her. Guess I messed up. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhambulldog Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 that's a great shot of your dad and the car. Priceless. Does he still have those coveralls with the patches?No, I'm afraid he does not have those coveralls, anymore. The patches were; Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, Chevrolet. Each of which, represented cars of his collection. The Buick is all of the old car collection, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
