Pete Phillips Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not very many cars on the field yet, but there are lots of vendors and parts for sale, and the Bulgari facility, once you find it, is gorgeous. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Heavy rain cut things short this afternoon (Thursday), and I don't understand why there are less than 200 cars on the field (before it rained) when over 640 cars are registered. Maybe everyone shows up on Friday afternoon? Pete 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Glad to see some familiar prewar Buicks. I especially like how the Flexible company made the top lights match the flowing design of the 1940 Buick headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was seeking a/c at some point. My wife and daughter were volunteering, so in registration building a lot. The heat did take a lot out of many of us. That said, it would be nice to talk to people about their cars. I do like to spend time with my car as as well, but the heat took a lot out of this fat guy this week. Hanging out, cooling off, going through photos, and preparing for the final festivities this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 There was an EXCELLENT turn-out of pre-war cars! The whole circle of 1920's Buicks was impressive-- plus plenty of brass era Buicks, and many, many in the 1930's up to 1942. Many marque clubs would be thrilled to have a quarter of that pre-war turn-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No, and No, although I did see the owner of the 1940 Townmaster at the banquet last night, but he didn't bring the car, unfortunately.

Thriller Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 1931 and 1934 Victoria coupes for sale. I really liked inked the green 1936 coupe...appeared to be mostly original paint. Of of course there were many others. I got to briefly meet Matt and his wife with their 1941 Limited. The down side was that I was probably grouchier than usual due to physical discomfort due in part to higher heat and humidity than this oversized body is used to.

Thriller Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have photos on my phone of Suzanne and Joseph getting a ride in that one. We had a good chat or two with the owner, who was in black and red this week. Teresa and some of the others also got a lesson on how the chauffeur's top is put on as well. There were probably too many I liked to pick one favourite, but I did spend a lot of time with the 1923 wagon. Rather than a Buick truck, it was presumed to be bodied by the likes of Cantrell on a model 54 (if I remember the number correctly). I did did quickly assemble our camera photos and gave them to Pete on a USB stick so he has additional ones to choose from for the Bugle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
