Jim Skelly Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I finally got to meet Kevin yesterday and he gave me a great presentation of his Cole's features. I also met Larry Schramm, who was there with his 1913 Buick touring. I ran out of time to see everything but will head back today and post pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, saw your car driving around, looks sharp, ran so well it seems like you never stopped long enough for me to say hi. I saw a few friends from the East coast drive by and looked at almost all the cars I could get to and recognized a lot of names, recognized more Buick and Packard cars that have belonged to others over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Cole was driving almost non stop on Saturday and today. Lots of fun driving around the village and I was giving rides to lots of people to let them experience the car. Also, gave several spectators rides who have never driven in an early car. What a great experience for them and this is what the hobby is all about. Sorry I missed you! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Hud Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 If you like "Old" cars this is the event you want to go to in my view. I flew out to see it for the first time last year, on my bucket list is to attend with one of my cars, a cool 30 hours driving one way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time driving a leather cone clutch, took some getting used to. Thanks for the photos, Jim. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
