jrbartlett Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Why such a low limit on cars? The eastern Gliddens always attract a lot of cars, the general area would seem to offer plenty of attractions as well as hotels, and the host club has resources.

Since the original poster must have seen the question: Please answer it. I suspect it has to do with the limited size of some of the places you'll visit.

Phillip Cole Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Both national offices have the registration forms available. The quickest way is to download it from the VMCCA website under 2019 National Tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The reason for the lower limit is simply the size of the facilities available for this tour. Nothing more , nothing less. The Hornet's Nest Region came to the rescue when no one else was stepping up to do the tour. They had to deal with the infrastructure available to this tour including banquet facilities, stops and the like. No one is thrilled that the tour has a lower than normal limit but as they say "it is what it is". Additionally, the HNR and the club have heard the rumors that one club is going to be favored over the other for spots. Simply not true. Entries will be accepted as received.

Paul Dobbin Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 We sent our registration on May irst and were accepted for the 2019 Glidden Tour. Hope to see some of you there. They did this one by the book, in that they sent hotel info with the acceptance letter. On some past tours many people who wanted to go made reservations before registration and caused the hotel to fill up and others didn't bother sending registrations in because the couldn;t get a room. This way is better and fair to all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Now, 4 months after registration, looks like I'm the only AACA Forum guy touring! I know that can't be right. We'll be staying at the campground on the lake. I'm sure Marty Roth won't miss the tour, but maybe he mailed in late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbartlett Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I was rejected originally, but was called on an opening about two weeks ago. I had to decline because following the earlier rejection I made other arrangements, including attending the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Meet in Indiana and the Greenfield Village show the following weekend in Detroit. There just wasn't going to be enough time between trips to turn around and go to the Glidden. Also, others from Texas that normally attend Gliddens with us didn't even apply when they heard about the low registration limit. It's unfortunate -- I've made most of the Gliddens the past 15 years.

Adam Walkup Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Paul Dobbin, we were going to stay at the campground, but it is 9 miles from the hotel! Now it turns out we can stay in the trailer parking lot, which is where I will be (with the '11 Locomobile) and my parents (with the White Yellowstone bus) , both of us camping in our buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merri Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 My Dad turns 90 on 9/19. He lives in chapel hill NC. Anyone that has an old car willing to “make his day” and bring their old car to him? Contact me @ merrihutson@gmail.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Merri, it sounds as if you want to hire a car and its owner to give your father a ride. You must be 150 miles from the tour, and while people like to help others, every day the tourists will be busy in the day and the evening. It would be a considerable expense for people to come to you, and are you willing to bear that cost? But here's a better idea! The best thing to do would be for you and your father to visit the host hotel in the late afternoon when people are coming back to the hotel from the tour. You will see plenty of old cars in the parking lot, and if your timing is good, you can talk to the owners. It might be better to make contact in advance, such as you are trying to do through this forum, and arrange to meet a car owner at a specific time. Maybe the owner can give your father a ride around the large parking lot. Your father will see dozens of cars--far better than just one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Adam Walkup, We'll be spread out, we're Ebenezer Park on Lake Wylie and the Jones will be at the campground at Ft. Mill, you and your parents in the trailer parking area. The guy at Ebenezer Park said, "something must be going on, we're full" but he didn't know about the antique car tour. This will be our 11th Glidden Tour, always fun. There will be lots of back & forth driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually: https://www.mapquest.com/directions/from/us/sc/rock-hill/to/us/nc/chapel-hill/to/us/sc/rock-hill It would be a minimum of a 328 mile round trip in a pre-WWII car, taking at least all day, and maybe into the night. John is correct when he suggests that you take your father to the cars, and likely mid-late afternoon would be best as the drivers are returning from a day's activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Cole Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Well, Paul, I'm glad you got your car running! Hottest September in SC history. Lots of heat issues with the cars. But everyone seems to be enjoying their self. Great day in Chester, SC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Sure is a hell of a lot hotter then when I was here with in the U.S. Air Force 63-65. Vapor Lock seems to strike often in these temps. (Mid 90's) Lots of directions and I see most participants using GPS on their smart phones. The cars are fantastic and so is the food! The brass cars are fast and agile enough to keep up. Maybe in the future we'll have to do the Glidden after Hershey.
