Den41Buick Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 FYI, The Packard Club was at the Bulgari Complex in July. They have posted several pictures. The site looks great.

Buicknutty Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I was looking at the registration form, and I see that there are no meal choices posted yet for the Saturday benquet. So, do you know when will they be available, and, if one registers before they are posted, how would one make the choices later on. Would we be contacted with this question? Thanks.

Den41Buick Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 For those who want to see it with Google Maps, you can search N. Ellsworth Street, Allentown, PA and just point the arrow to do a virtual drive around it as it looked in Oct 2014. Can't wait to see it up close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjp69 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I have several friends who live locally that would like to attend. Will the complex be "open to the public" or can only BCA members (and 1 guest each) attend? If open to non-members, is there a fee to attend? Can they show their Buick, or is that option only available to members? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff 1952 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The show will be open to the Public on Saturday and there will be an admission charge, donated to charity, for same. You MUST be a member of the Buick Club to participate for the week and display your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I may be setting up to swap indoors at the celebration. In that case, I'll be driving modern iron. Will on-site parking be available for my modern car, after I unload and set up my wares? Thanks. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest my3buicks Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Lot of awards for a non-judged show - seems to me if there can be 35 awards(tough to pick out the cars if there is to be no judging) there could have been normal judging, just saying. One of the reasons I am not attending. The gross expense of attending and attending the events would be another.

Guest Jeff 1952 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Keith: You and I have been friends for al long time so if money is an object, my treat! As to Judging, Alan Oldfield, John Steed and Rick Schick have been kind enough to offer their time to work with Keith and Christina to pick the cars for the above awards.

Guest my3buicks Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I know recently at the AACA Spring meet in Virginia they charged for trailer parking - didn't really bother me but it caused a pretty big stink that is still getting brought up regularly. Just food for thought if anyone has idea's for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Is there a cut off date for vehicle registration? Will show cars be able to be on display, and remain on the show field, the days before the "event" on Sat? Sorry if these questions were already answered earlier...........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff 1952 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 July 6, is the final cutoff date for Registration for the 2016 Celebration. We will close Car Registration, when we reach 1,000 cars; the capacity of the show field. People registration, continues until July 6, as I have stated above. You may leave cars overnight on the Bulgari Property but not all Hotels will have shuttle service. Those that will, is to be determined by Hotel Registration.

Bhigdog Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks Jeff. I guess I better register sooner rather than later. My plan is to register two cars, bring one to the field Thurs, a different one Fri, and both on Sat. Do see any problem with that?...........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
