Idle Swede Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 How about cruises in south Florida, (Broward & West Palm Beach area)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skyking Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 I lived in Florida for more than 3 years. Most of their cruises were in the fall, winter and spring. Not too may cruises in the summer months. Then once the cruise season did begin some people didn't want to take their cars out due to the salt air. I like them in Rhode Island much better. We squeeze 12 months of cruising into 4............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredbuick Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Been looking around for them down heremyself, although the BigRed doesn't seem to be quite ready yet. Closest thing I've seen to a regular gathering is the Tower Lot in Plantation (Broward). Lots of neat rides out there on Friday nights though Buicks area a rarity. Will do my part as soon as I'm able!<P>-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby II Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 It's not South Florida, but if you want to make a weekend of it, come up to Old Town in Kissimmee. They have a cruise every Saturday night for cars up to and including 1972. You'll see a few antiques, street rods, muscle cars, and a handful of Buicks. Old Town is an "entertainment" complex built to look like an old town. Shops, restaurants, etc. are there. The cars actually cruise up the brick street. Quantity of cars varies, 300 to 500, but for the Anniversary Cruise it gets over 1000. Arrive early. There are motels adjacent to Old Town. Let me know if you're interested and I'll try and find their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby II Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Check out the Old Town website <A HREF="http://www.oldtown.com" TARGET=_blank>www.oldtown.com</A> for more info. Oct. 20-21 is the annual BOPC (Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Cadillac)Show there. I can't find info or contact info on this show unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle Swede Posted August 3, 2001 Author Share Posted August 3, 2001 Rob,<BR>Thanks for info. I'll be there next friday, in a darkblue 64 Electra Convertible, red/white 55 Roadmaster or a black & white Harley.<BR>Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredbuick Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Sorry for the late post Swede. I actually had a tough time finding any documentation for it myself, most info was word of mouth.<P>Take 95 south to 595 west.<BR>Take 595 west to University drive.<BR>Tower Shopping center is in the southeast portion of the intersection of 595 and University. Usually lots of neat old iron, as well as a few gatherings of late model Impalas and PT Neon^h^h^h^h(oops)Cruisers.<P>I won't be able to make it today (rainy anyhow and top is leaking like a sieve) but will probably be there next week. Have fun!<P>-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle Swede Posted August 11, 2001 Author Share Posted August 11, 2001 Rob,<BR>Just came back from the cruise/show at the Tower lot. It was great, hundreds of cars. I even saw a 1901 Oldsmobile that owner drove there. He said he's there every friday so next week I'll bring my digital camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
