Rockville Antique & Classic Car Show Tomorrow

[Dashmaster]

I will be taking my Reatta to this show. Mine is far from perfect since it needs paint but they allow cars in process of being restored. Not sure if there will be any other Reatta's there. If anyone else is going stop by and say Hi.  Last time I was there in the 80's I took a 62 Impala SS 409. Wish I still had that car.

The show was well attended. Lots of interest in the Reatta. Talked to several people about the car going over all the systems and most did not know how much stuff was included in on the cars. There were many the read the info tag I put on the windshield and many said the remembered these cars when they came out, several said they were glad I brought it out and all thought it was in pretty good shape. I had some of the restore pictures that some looked at that showed a lot of the rust related work I did.  Some thought the CRT was LCD. The was a 90 also in the show. Good to see it there it was a Red/Tan coupe. Needing lots of work. But the owner said he was working on it when he could, he also said he owns an 88. 

Here are a couple pictures from the show. I was parked between 2 rare old Buicks. 1938 4 door convertible on the left and 41 Roadmaster on the right. Both where all original cars.

Also this is a picture of the rear glass on the 1990 Reatta at the show. It looked to have an FM antenna in the top part of the window. I have not seen anyone talk about having and antenna in the rear glass. Not sure if GM was using an FM diversity system on the radio in those years. Here is a picture of that window glass. This may be common I have not seen any other Reatta's in person other than the one I have so this may be normal. My 88 does not have the glass for sure.

That antenna was on back galss on 1989, 1990 and some 1991 (before they changed the design) Reattas. It is for the keyless entry system.

Thanks Marck, I just have never seen it. That makes perfect sense. My 88 does have keyless entry, It was installed by the dealer. It is GM module with the same remotes as the cars the come with it in 89 and up. Have to re-do the wiring becuase they used wire nuts for the install. Being a certified Aftermarket Electronics Installer in the 80's thru early 90's wire nuts are a no no in cars.
