Am really hoping the weather is good for this one, and u-haul retains my trailer reservation! Always a great turnout and one of the last all Olds shows for the year.

tva442

Us too! Last year's rain was a bummer, but hopefully we will have a nice warm Fall day like most years.
And hope to see the Trac Pac in person finally !

This looks like a good time, anyone in from the Upstate NY area? If the weather is good I might try it.

tva442

It is a good time, hope you can make it down. We have had cars from NY, MA, VA and Canada in the past, so some long distances ! And we do a Long Distance award - a gas card to help you out ! If you need hotel recommendations, let us know also.

Just 2 weeks away, this is one of my favorite shows and one of the last Oldsmobile shows for the season!

QS442

I will be attending. Unfortunately not driving my Olds but next year I will be driving an Olds up.

I was planning on attending. Since I grew up 15 minutes away in Unionville, it would make for a good excuse to take the kids up to see Grandma.

However, thanks to the government shutdown, 3/4 of my shop has been laid off and the very few of us left have to take up the slack and work 12 on, 12 off, providing 24/7 coverage with no days off until this thing ends.

QS442 - hope to see your 1978 Omega SX next year! Make sure you stop by and say Hi though- I should have my silver 69 442 conv there.

tva442

Never thought a gov't shutdown would affect and Oldsmobile show ! Hopefully will be over by our show and you'll be able to come up.
What does your shop do?

I'm one of those intel/computer people that get to work all day in a building with no windows.

Probably not going to make it out this year. Just got the Alero running right, but too many other things in the way right now

The Delta really isn't show worthy right now, maybe after paint

Jaybird

So... I was at the show two years ago with my wife and two kids. My freshly rebuilt 425 engine happened to develop a nasty knock. Now things are running fine with my new 455 (Thanks to: Brian Trick).
My question is, should I take the chance and cruise to Downington, PA again for the show? After all, it is only and 8 1/2 hour drive.
BTW, We had a great time in 2011 and the Fall weather was awesome!

If the car is running decent now a long drive shouldnt hurt and would probably just confirm it was put togerther well, if you have low gears that might be an issue

Oldsmaniac

Jay alls I can say is you got ballz and it would be great to see the car and you again. Keep watching the weather, hope its as nice as the last time. Dont worry about the engine it should be fine as long as its broken in well and no issues as POGO said.

tva442

Jay, As POGO and Oldsmaniac say, come on down again , would be great to have you and the family and the 67 at the show !

One week to go !

tva442

Ken, hope you and your son can get stuff out of the way to come to the show ! And if you need to bring the Delta instead of the Alero, we don't discriminate - any Olds from any year and condition is welcome !

Oldsmaniac

After a string of nasty rainy days it looks like the weather will clear for the show!! I rented a trailer so it had better!!

tva442

Yes, keep wishing for good weather ! Show is rain or shine, so either way we will be there!

How was the event? any pics?

Oldsmaniac

I would say we had 35 cars. Turnout was down probably due to a forecast that had a chance of early showers. It turned out to be a dry cloudy day in the AM then by noon the sun was out strong. It was a little chilly. I had a jacket on most of the day. I did not get any pictures.

tva442

For once the weather forecast was right on unfortunately and the clouds and some rain in the area kept many away. We never had rain at the show and had beautiful blue skies and sun by mid day. We did end up with almost 40 cars and some real nice ones at that including Joe's 67 Trac Pac, an unrestored 70 W-31, four H/O's, a woodie wagon, a early 70's Hearse, a 39 and 49 custom rods, two 77 Starfires and several Cutlass's and 442's. Some pictures attached.
