This is a great location for a show, sun if you want it and shade too and plenty of room and even trailer parking. Its one of the last chances to get your Olds out before the wind blows cold. I wouldnt miss it!

Technically we are mainly southeastern PA, around Philadelphia. Though we do have members in MD, DE and NJ as well.
And have had attendees to our Fall show from VA, NY, MA and even Canada in the past ! And we always do a long distance award at the show.

LOL I smell incentive??? Maybe another time as that's over 2000 miles for me. I'd need two weeks to do a nice leisurely return trip and catch the show.

Well you have the Carlisle swap in Pa, then Hershey swap and then our show, so you really could get your fill of car stuff if ya wanted to!

Yeah, but I'd need a truck to haul it all back.

Maybe . Would be great if you could make it, but if not we'll post some pictures!


And yes, a lot of people stop by our show after Hershey. One year we had somebody stop by with a 70 Cutlass conv 4 speed on their trailer they had just picked up at Hershey. It was rough, but hopefully it was saved.

The Battlecruiser is all but gone. Most of it's parts now reside on my room mates Olds powered Buick Hearse.

Yea, know that drill. We switched from the Y to another soccer league this year in Chester county, which had games move from Sat to Sun. Luckily my son has a late game tomorrow, so he will get to make most of the show.


What kind of Olds(s) do you have ?

Well guess it lives on. Was a cool wagon, along with the Cutlass wagon delivery you had as well.


We have a BOPC show in the Spring, so an Olds powered Buick hearse would fit right in ! Maybe plan to bring that next May, usually the Saturday a week before Memorial Day weekend.

Good deal. A lot of rain today, so must have been a real muddy mud run !
Enjoy the rest of the weekends activities and we'll see you next time.


Weather looks cool, but dry tomorrow, so we should have a great turnout !

Did you guys still have this in the rain today? Our soccer was cancelled.

I recently purchased my best friend's mom's '72 CS that was ordered with a dual gate from the factory (by her). I am going to post info on my build but I haven't gotten around to it yet. The engine is at Mardinly in Broomall, I sent the heads to Smitty, and the rest of the car is over in Jersey at one of my client's garage. He has 30 cars, mostly GM muscle and a full time mechanic/body guy who is doing most of the work. I cut a deal with my client to have his guy do it for me and I will tell the long version of that when I post my build.

I expect that by next year at this time I will be ready to bring it to the show. I am going for "street crusier with *****" and it will look entirely stock but for headers.

I drove a '71 CS vert is high school and it was all too easy for me to jump back in when the car was offered to me.

Show is today (Sunday), no rain forecasted for today


Sounds like a nice CS, look forward to the build thread, and seeing it at a future show !

Europe and your 10th don't come around every year - enjoy ! We plan to do it again next year.

Weather was warmer than anticipated and was beautiful! We had approx. 50 fine Oldsmobiles there of many years and models. A great time ! Some pictures:

Looks like it was another great event. I may end up making the May event and may ask some friends.
