Yohdda Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Hey everyone, I've made it to Montana two days ago and having a great time here. Tomorrow we are departing Butte and should arrive mid-afternoon at the hotel in Spokane Valley. See you all there!

Beemon Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 So how does registration work? I didn't because I didn't think I would make it due to some hardware difficulties and ended up making it out, but not registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can just go to registration in the morning and take care of it. Where are you right now, Ben Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when you come to the host hotel, walk into the lobby and turn left. Go down the ramp towards the banner that says registration and talk to Roy and Michelle. They will get you registered 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wells Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Are visitors (non-participants)welcome or do you need to register/sign up/join to see the cars on Saturday? What is the parking situation for those not registered if the parking lot is full of show and display cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmfconsult Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Cars are in the parking lot of the hotel, so just being a spectator does not require you to register or join up. If you want display or have a car judged, then I believe you do need to register. Visitors are welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I'm are driving our 1988 Reatta out. Taking about 4 weeks for the trip total. Camping in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Who else is driving? Marck, are you guys in the running for longest distance driven to this year's BCA meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Can someone let me know if the 1936 Buick, if it’s a roadmaster ? I believe it is . If it is a roadmaster can someone take a photo of the dash for me . I want to see if it’s my fathers car that he sold about a decade ago . I had heard of went out to Washington state . It has a unique metal stamp on the dash from an insurance company . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Trucker Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 38 Buick 80C: Thanks for he walk-through. Quite a nice variety of cars. Nice to see spaces between the cars so viewers could see them from all around. The only thing nicer would have been a grass display area. I hope class winners will be posted here or on the BCA website. Thanks again for your time and effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 3 hours ago, BuickTom87 said: Thank you, how many cars showed up ?looks like a nice event About 170 cars. Parking lot people were overwhelmed by the number of last-minute arrivals who didn't bother to register in advance. Makes it really tough to do a parking layout and parking by class/age of cars. I understand there were 117 cars registered as of Tuesday just before the meet started, and nearly 170 by Saturday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a unique metal stamp on the dash from an insurance company . I believe it is a Century, low mileage (24k or so?), original paint (dark green) and upholstery. According to the owner it has a pretty well known local history. I have a bunch of pictures, mostly of small interior trim details, but I probably got the dash. I am still on my way home from the event. If I don't post any in a day or so, remind me . Edited July 16, 2023 by Bloo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
