JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 I am sorry I am getting a late start on this thread. Thanks to Ted for providing the link to some pictures from the Museum which were posted on our Chapter's Facebook page. I have quite a few pictures I would like to post so this may take a few days. Hope to be done by Wednesday at the latest. And without further ado:7: 30 Am, 45 degrees, and this is the view through the windshield. I was wondering if I made a mistake leaving the top down:xA few moments later driving through town I decided I did the right thing:xIt is shaping up to be a picture perfect day, mostly cause you can't feel the 45 degrees when looking at these photos. xxAfter a little of both of these:xI let the horses rest a little bit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 As it turned out, we may have picked a bad day for the tour. There was so much going on locally and only 5 families made this trip. Still, there's not gonna be many more days like this before Spring 2014 so it's best to just enjoy what is provided. And I always like touring with Tony and Maria because , well, you can see why!I also like touring with Ted and Trina too because, well, you can see why:xDick and Jim are great to tour with too. even if they did bring their "day" cars. As we head off into Cloud 9:I wondered if these pics would come out:xBut I was sure glad this one did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Here's a few on the way to Norwich, NY, where the main event was a tour of the Northeast Classic car Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 xxxxxIt was turning into a very nice warm day as we arrived at the museum. And I marveled at the old Upstate architecture and construction. You see examples of this all over the area. And it is always amazing to find these buildings in good shape:xBut this was not our destination for the day. Maybe another time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49_buick_super Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Love these road trip/tour posts with photos. Beautiful scenery and beautiful cars.Thanks, John.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thank you Dan. I appreciate the feedback. When I craft these event stories I like to keep them in the order of what was done. But since Ted posted the link to the pictures of the cars in the museum, I am going to divert to the return part of the trip and then I will work on posting the pictures I took in the museum after Carlilse. There is this one picture I took in the museum which I found very interesting. It is a map of NYS painted on the wall, with lists of each vehicle manufactured in each part of the state. There are some of these vehicles inside the doors and I'll get back to them afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 After the museum we headed back to Oneonta for lunch. Here's a few pics of the back woods of NY in the mid day fall sun. Enjoy:xxxxSome more of that old style architecture:x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 xxxTill we arrived at our destination:xNo one was more surprised than me to learn we had to wait almost 45 minutes to get a seat at this place. The food is fablous, and if it wasn't so far I'd be tempted to take Linda out for a lunch one afternoon. And indeed, I may just do that yet.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigDogDaddy Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Great pics. I love the shine on your GS ! I was fascinated by the wall map of the cars made in NY. When I was a teenager, back in the late 70s, I could not find a book that listed all og the cars made in New York. But I did find a book in my local library that listed all of the cars made in the United States. So I got a notebook and started writing down all of the info I could find for each make of car. I had intended to do more research while at the Fall Hershey show by searching through advertisements offered for sale by the literature vendors. I had quite a few people lined up to buy the book when it was finished. I was concerned about the cost of having it published. I never did finish that project. I wonder if the notebook is still somewhere in my parents' house. One of my dreams was if I had hit the big lottery was to buy as many of the cars made in New York that I could find.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Come, John, who are you tryin' to kid? I know New York looks like this: Oh, yeah, there's a tree in Brooklyn, but just A tree.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49_buick_super Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My sister and her husband lived on Hwy 28 north of Margaretville for many years. I've visited this area in October of the year. Magnificent colors and beautiful scenery. Great pictures, John.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Come, John, who are you tryin' to kid? I know New York looks like this: Oh, yeah, there's a tree in Brooklyn, but just A tree.BernieWell Bernie, actually it does not look like that anymore since some bass turds decided the buildings on the extreme right of the picture made a good target! Any way, I wanted to mention that the picture of the last house, the one with the red caboose next to it was very interesting. Either this house or the one next door had a 50's diesel locomotive sitting on the left side of it. I missed snapping a picture. As I turned around to look at it after i passed I noticed there was an entire frieght train behind the locomotive engine... unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Cool JD, you weren't far from my brother he lives on one of those hills near Norwich! Gorgeous colors, we are going out this Saturday with Buicktown to a Cider Mill and then to the Lingenfelter Collection and then to lunch of course there has to be food involved when Buicks are out and about! Where is that BBQ place in Oneonta? Hope tp get some great pictures of the Michigan Autumn, so far we have been pretty rain free so the leaves won't be blowing around yet!

JohnD1956 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's right on Rt 7 Berta... just by the eastern most exit off of I 88. Wish I had known your brother lived near there. I always thought he was in Buffalo area. Looking forward for some Fall Michigan pics. Are you going anywhere near the west coast? I always wanted to see that area.

Guest shadetree77 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Great pictures John. There was a map of Indiana exactly like that one in the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg museum. Must have been made by the same company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
