My second car show with 442
Went to my second car show with the 442 today, another small local show with 42 cars attending. Judging was by spectators. Proud to say I got best of show. People act like they have never seen a 442 in real life The beautiful 67 SS396 beside me got second place.

Congratulations on taking Best Of Show. You have a beautiful 4-4-2. C'mon now, you're in Whiteville - a trip to Lumberton or Wilmington might be a once/year event. I wouldn't expect most to have ever seen a 4-4-2.

About 6 weeks ago they had a car show in Leland which is just across the river from Wilmington. 150+ cars and no 65-67 442's, seen one 71 Cutlass. Riverfest in Wilmington is a big show and I have never seen one there. I 've been going to "Run to the Sun" in Myrtle Beach (1000+ cars) almost every year and have never seen a 65-67 442 there. Went to high school in Lumberton and know just about everybody...no 65-67 442". But I will say Lumberton is where I first fell in love with tri-power 442's, just took me 58 years to get my own. I have owned plenty of Chevelles and Camaros over the years, bought several brand new but always wanted a 442.

I've done my share of rumbling on those streets How did you find it and how was the food?

You're welcome. It would be a blast to have both our cars at the same show. You know they're having the OCA Nationals in Springfield, MO next season. You could head over here to St. Louis for a stop over, then we could convoy to Springfield the next day. Wouldn't that be a sight, two '67 4-4-2's cruising down the highway together!

Yes, I had someone argue with me over that once. He was old, and not of a political disposition to own a muscle car, but he was trying to flex. I said I could go get it (mine) and we could terrorize the neighborhood, but he turned me down.

When I bought my '67 4-4-2 in 1969, the one my father picked out for me, because I dropped the drive shaft in his '64 Buick Wildcat one too many times (evidently I was becoming an economical burden on auto expenses for the family), I told my friends it was an automatic. My motor head friends told me it couldn't be a 4-4-2 if it had an automatic. They were mostly into foreign cars, Chevrolet & Pontiac. They had to wipe the grins off their faces.

Harold Wells probably sold his share of them and Charles Dew did also, but Vann is not that old. He was a teenager in 67. Vann does have 3 Cutlasses now, 70 convertible, 71 convertible, and a 71 hardtop.

I went to a car show "Broadway at the Beach" (Myrtle Beach, SC) today as a spectator. Around 1,000+ cars. I walked for hours looking and there were some cars and trucks that would make your mouth water. I seen 5 Cutlass cars there, 2 68's, 70, and 2 72's, and 1 65 442 that was real nice. But not a single 66 or 67!
The Chevy C10's were there in full force!

1000+ cars and no pictures??
PS: I would never want to be twenty years younger. Very happy being in my shoes. My bones breaks etc? Sure. Life twenty years younger? No thanks. I enjoy my life for what I got to experience. 👍
