MrEarl Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) I've had a couple of folks tell me they had not heard of this as they don't frequent the Meets and Tours forum. I would so hate for anyone to miss this great event because of that so am sharing here also. I especially hope all you PreWar folks will try to come to at least the one day event at the Buick Gardens Retro 1930's Buick Sales and Service Garage. There will be opportunities for photo-shoots at the gas pump and I would absolutely love to see the field out front filled with pre war Buicks. So y'all come! Note: I am looking for a 1936, any series, as the feature/display car. BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME they said. I did, so we will see… Edited August 23, 2023 by MrEarl (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) The VMCCA/AACA GLIDDEN Tour is being held October 21-28, headquartered at Thomasville, Georgia, 180 miles and 3 hours south of Milledgeville- Unfortunate conflict ! On the other hand, any folks who are able might want to pass on their way by Thomasville, GA either before 8:00 AM each morning, or late afternoon when the Pre-WWII cars will be either at the downtown Best Western, Holiday Inn Express, Baymont, or at the Fairgrounds Edited August 20, 2023 by Marty Roth (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to drive my '38, but late October weather can be tricky... A pre-war Buick caravan from the northeast to GA would be awesome though!

He called to check the schedule of the event and after hearing the buffet menu decided to leave Thomasvile early that morning and make it to Buick Gardens by lunch. 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a few miles but keep talkin, maybe you'll talk yourself into it. Would love to see that '38 Century out front alongside my '38 Special slant back. October is typically one of if not the driest month in Georgia. This from the National Weather Athens - October » October, like September, in Athens is another warm autumn month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 53.2°F and an average high of 73.4°F. The months with the lowest humidity in Athens, Georgia, are July, October and November, with an average relative humidity of 72%. 1 hour ago, EmTee said: A pre-war Buick caravan from the northeast to GA would be awesome though! Now you're talkin. But let's not stop there, how about one coming from the west. ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 OK PreWar, it's beginning to look like this one opportunity for living out my dream of having the field in front of Buick Sales and Service filled with prewar Buicks just isn't going to happen. Here's the current list of Buicks planning on attending and it is sorely lacking in prewar (only two) and even 50-60's Buicks. Deadline for registration is September 25th so hopefully some of you are still considering and will decide to come. If not, I do understand that many of you are quite some distances away from Georgia, so not very conducive to drive or haul just for a 3 day tour not to mention a one day Buick Sales and Service shindig.

MCHinson Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I would like to drive my 1937 Roadmaster Convertible Phaeton there, but I am not sure I can make the scheduled dates work for me. I don't own a tow vehicle or trailer and while I want to go, I am not sure that driving the almost 800 mile round trip is a very smart thing for me to do... but I have not made a final decision yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to drive his Roadmaster to more local club events... I drive mine to just about every one of our local AACA Chapter meetings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I will be there! Money is in. Staying at the Wyndham. Not driving a Buick but maybe bring a bottle of Scotch to compensate? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) God willing be there! No scotch but I settle for a rum. A Camry? I will Park my Wrangler by the Buick Pond Edited August 31, 2023 by Elpad (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) For all you procrastinators, REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 15th. And I’d like to thank all of you who’ve registered so far as well as those who’ve sent notes of regret that due to travel distances etc you won’t make it, we fully understand! I am pleasantly surprised to see folks coming all the way from Indiana, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Michigan, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida and Alabama, thanks guys and gals! It’s gonna be a fun day and evening. The band has agreed to play on until there’s no one left “standing”😁 Thought I’d mention, there is a really nice car museum about 100 miles northwest of Buick Gardens you might want to visit Saturday or Sunday. It borders the Chattahoochee National Forest and the leaves should be still in fall color. Savoy Car Museum in Cartersville Can we get a show of hands of who’s coming. 😊 Edited October 3, 2023 by MrEarl (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
