A friend posted this on a few other Oldsmobile forums, so I figured I would post it up here as well.

 

That would be great. is is there a link to follow this? I would show up, but car is far from road worthy. Let me know

 

The details are not finalised yet, not even 100% sure on the date. But I will pass along the details when I get more.

 

As soon as I get a few more responses, I can finalise a date, however, I believe Saturday April 14, 2012 would be appropriate since it would be the one year mark.That isn't etched in stone, though.If we can get 6 to 10 more cars a week later, it would make a better showing and more enjoyable for those involved.
More to follow.

 

If I were closer, I'd join you guys. It's a nice thing you're doing.

 

Wednesday Evening Cruise Night at Rideau Carleton Raceway on June 27, 2012 will be having an Oldsmobile Feature Night.The lower lot (between the main building and the track) is reserved for Oldsmobiles, Olds powered cars, etc.My thanks go to Graham MacInnes and Crew for allowing us to have such a night at their event.
As well, the kind people from Highway 43 Car Club are putting on a show.July 15, 2012 they are hosting an ALL GM “MOTORAMA” Show & Shine, GM Cars and Trucks Only. Myers Kanata, Palladium Auto Park. 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M
We will have a special section reserved for Oldsmobiles.

Both these events are meant as a tribute to the friendship I (we) had with a very special person in Blair Rendell.He was an Oldsmobile guy all the way.
His baby was his 1971 442 W-30 4speed convertible.He also had a yellow 1969 Vista Cruiser, a 1972 Cutlass notchback coupe, and was in the process of restoring a 1969 442 when he passed away.
He is dearly missed.
If any Oldsmobile people out there could spread the word, we can put on a good Oldsmobile showing at these two events.
Thank you, Cheers.
Jeff

 

I will be there. I'm just around the corner from the race track! I will give my support!

 

Thanks for your support.
Please help spread the word to any other Oldsmobile enthusiasts you know.
Cheers!

 

I would like to come also. I could not make it untill later in the day on the April the 14th as I will be driving from Cornwall and I have to work there until Noon. My car isn't as classic either and it is a work in progress. 1989 Custom Cruiser.

 

cccrew8, unfortunately there will not be anything happening on April 14.

But Jeff (furtrader) is still organizing Oldsmobile gatherings at the 2 events mentioned above, at Rideau Carleton Raceway in June and Myers Kanata in July.

 

Cool. Hopefully I can make one or both of them.

 

I am in.Always love to cruise Ottawa and area-think it is great what you are doing.

Ted

 

Why can't be oldsmobile be licenced and on the road!!!

Any of you guys know any inspection places in quebec to get my car certified? If so, i'll be there next weekend!

 

Tony, you have until either June or July to get your car ready to drive to Ottawa. And maybe you could try a breakfast poutine while you are here

 

DONE, so the meet is going to be in June/July? That sounds really good, my plan is to finish cleaning up my frame (wirebrush-hell) and give her a nice coat of black corrostop chassis paint.

I actually JUST got my lower suspension bolts off the rear end of my car. The threads were completely finished. So in the end. I took my torque wrench and slammed with all my might ** POP ** the bolts snapped off on each side.

That was the last thing left before i put in my gas tank and new rubber lines in the back.

 

I know that I am repeating myself and what Jeff has posted, but I just want to make sure people know the gathering on April 14 is not happening but that there will still be a tribute.

After hearing about Jeff's (furtrader) idea about having a tribute for Blair, two local car show organizers have offered to help. As Jeff mentioned in an earlier post a local cruise night and car show have offered to set aside a reserved area for Oldsmobiles so that we can pay tribute to Blair Rendell. This will be at the following two events:

Cruise Night
Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - Oldsmobile Feature Night at RCR Wednesday Night Cruise night
Rideau Carleton Raceway, Ottawa, Ontario.

Car Show
Sunday, July 15, 2012 - All GM "Motorama" Show and Shine
Myers Kanata, Ottawa, Ontario
9:00am - 3:00pm

And I would like to thank Jeff for all the effort he is putting into organizing this tribute for a friend.

 

Sometimes that is the best way to take a part off

 

if there something in summer of 2013 me and a friend are interresting from quebec sorry for my english.

 

I'm working on an annual show with my local grocer.
Perhaps something along the lines of "The 1st Annual Blair Rendell/Your Independent Grocer Car Show".
I am thinking Oldsmobile oriented but open to everyone.
More to come when I have more info.
Cheers!
