First car show with my 442 yesterday

Went to my first car show yesterday with the 442. It was my first time showing it. It was a small show with about 40 cars and cars were judged by spectator voting. Happy to say I got second place. Biggest comment on car was they had never seen a 442 before at a show.

Unless it's an all Olds show they are in short supply. True story,I was coming back from a show it Atlanta and stopped for gas and had a guy ask what year GTO I had.
Very nice car James.

Very nice car James.
When I was registering the lady asked me what kind of car I had. Told her it was a 1967 442. She wrote on the card it was a Pontiac.

Congrats on your 2nd place win. You don't see many 64-67 Olds cars at local shows. Mine is usually the only one and does garner quite a bit of attn.

Beautiful car. The red-stripe sidewalls are so very right for that car. Congratulations on the win.

Sounds about right.

Curious what town was the show? I'm North of you in Beaufort, NC.

The last car show I went to there were about 80 cars there and my '69 4-4-2 convertible was the lone Oldsmobile. But, surprise, the lady doing the registering IDed as an Oldsmobile! She must have had one in her family sometime in the past! You have a beautiful '67!

This show was in my home town of Whiteville. We have a bigger show at the end of October downtown on main street.
