Fall Show - Sunday, October 9th, 2011 Kerr Park – Downingtown PA

Its time to start thinking about this annual event. It is a great location, easy drive and Oldsmobile only show. Weather is usually great and crisp. More info can be had at the Delaware Valley Oldsmobile Club website.

 

Hey Oldsmaniac: This just might be a good show for my wife and I to attend. My almost rebuilt 425 ci Super Rocket should be running fine by then. It would be a nice long shakedown cruise.
Can you tell us more about this show and maybe include a website or contact info?
Downington, PA. sure seems to be pretty far from "The Motor City". I suppose you can't persuade the organizers to switch locations to New Castle, PA. instead?

Hey Olds Fans: I'm planning on attending this show in Downingtown, PA. I hope that you can too!

Lauriebird will be in attendance too!

Who else is going? Who? Who?

Jaybird

 

Cool hope you can make it and most of all hope the weather is good!! That either makes or breaks a show.... so the 425 is purrin?

 

Oldsmaniac: My motor is running and she purrs! She's so fine my 425.... Ok, Ok... sorry, wrong song and it doesn't rhyme!

I hope to be there this Sunday, Oct. 9th.

Jaybird

 

If I'm not working that day, I'll be there.

That's why I never pre regester for the show. I always seem to have to work that day. Crazyness

 

Jaybird - what year/ model is the 425 in? Hope to see you at the show. I should be there with my 1969 silver and black conv 442.

 

Hi Tom: If the weather looks to be nice, Lauriebird and I will travel to Downingtowon, PA. According to Google, the drive looks to be about 10 hours, 581 miles from Colchester, ON. (30 miles from Detroit)
My car is a 1967 Delta 88 Custom Holiday Coupe.
Hope to see you there!

Jaybird

 

weather right now is looking good for the entire weekend, so hope to see you

we drove from the Downingtown area to Dearborn MI for the 2008 OCA Nationals - not too bad of a drive....

 

Weather looks to be in the mid to high 70's on Sunday

I hope to be there with Redog and my son! Redog's still looking good with over 134,200 miles and my my son is pretty awesome!!

 

I am planning on going. not sure though, moneys tight and its 130 miles from me. I would like my 62 f85 to get out and see some of its kin though.

 

I am going to try to make it up there also. As of right now - I will be there - but stuff happens...

 

I am hoping to be there with my 4spd Delta.

 

the weather will be summerlike ! I will be there with my silver 69 442 conv and hope to see everyone there!

 

Spider - last year we had two 62'conv s and two 63's F-85's/ Cutlass's so some of your immediate kin have been to our show before

 

Adam, Redog, and I will all be there!

I'm rocking class "L"

 

The show went fine, I did not take any pictures but there were 60 or so Oldsmobiles there. Among those a 49 conv, 59 98 scenic coupe, some 67 442's and later. Best of show went to a 69 H/O and there was a very nice Rallye 4spd there. The g bodies were well represented and I was amazed to see a early 80's Toro with a 425 transplant....very cool!! My hats off to Jaybird who came down from Canada { wow I thought I was insane }....anyway it was a pleasure to meet him and family. His 67 Delta Custom was beautiful with buckets and console, unfortunately his lifters/rockers started to make noise on the way here and I hope he makes it back of without trouble and get things checked out. Keep us posted Jaybird!

 

The family and I got home just after 9:00pm. The ride back was uneventful. We took the northern route to Niagara Falls and cruised around there before heading southwest to southern Ontario.
The worst part of the trip was the last 2 hours. We ran into bugageddon. My windshield was so caked with bugs, we had to stop at the nearest service center and wash them off!
We had a good time and I appreciate your help attempting to diagnose the problem with the engine. The noise didn't get any worse than it was when I originally noticed it. I'll be sure to let you know what the problem turns out to be.
Meanwhile, that $30.00 Wawa gas card for the longest distance driver came in handy! We used it up in Pottsville, PA.

Thanks to Tom, Jeff, Gary and Mike.
I was good to meet you guys. Maybe we'll see each other again at another all Olds show?

I'll post a few pictures soon.

Jaybird

 

That is good to hear, let us know what you find with the engine!

 

We did have a great show with some really nice cars, including Jaybird's 67. It was very nice to meet him along with his family and glad them made it home safe and the gas card came in handy

And congrats to Redog for his class win!
