Who was raffling off the Rallye?

Thanks for some great pictures.

1969w3155

The March of Dimes. the drawing is in November in Traverse City, Mi. so I would think that there might be a link through The March of Dimes website.

4-Speed

Anyone know if the red 65 Starfire was for sale and have any contact info?

RALLYE KID

Thanks for sharing !! Was planning on going but had to work.

Great pics Dan! Thanks for sharing. What a cool show, wish I could've attended.

starfire

There is, but it is incredibly hard to find. You would think they have no interest in promoting this. Direct links are below:

Thanks for the pic's.

1969w3155

The info is in the pics, I'll take a look.

1969w3155

here's the info: it's a nice car that I wouldn't mind owning, and had a pretty good price.

Starfire: I read your first link, did you see what they plan on raffling next year?

GAOldsman

Pretty cool of him and it is pictured behind the Ralleye in this pic

I was there & the turn out was outstanding cars & the crowd. I helped the local economy out & the vendors, I picked up a few things. I'll be Back !!!!!!

Thanks appreciate it-

Great pics as usual, Dan. The meet was fantastic as usual too! By far the biggest Olds swap meet in the country was bigger than ever this year too.
Did anyone get a count of the number of cars and swap spaces?

gearheads78

nice pics....thanks for posting

Here's a neat car that was there...
And for $4,000 you could have bought this 66 Tri Carb setup.

1969w3155

I would have taken more pics, but it took quite awhile to get through the swap meet, much bigger than before.

4-Speed, Here's a nice Starfire for you. I think the rims even look good on it. It's a low mileage car too... Check it out.

I have 3 pics. Great show but I spent way too much $$$$. It is hard to hold back at an all Olds swap meet.

Thanks for the great pictures! I will not miss it next year!

I hope you dumped a little cash at my spot.

It was a great show! This was my third time attending. I really like the large 12" x 9" metal Oldsmobile Homecoming plaque that was given to the participants. It is so large, I couldn't scan the whole thing. Very nice!

Thank you to the organizers!

...To all who are involved with the planning and setting up of this yearly event.... Thanks!!

Thanks for the lead, appreciate it

Great show, it was nice to NOT have to haul metal in and out this time. I got to see the cars.

Bought a Pontiac [only] thermostat housing, and an F-Eighty Five emblem in good shape. [anyone need this?]

One thing the mgt STILL needs to learn...
SHUT THE DAMN NOISE OFF for oh say 5-10m per hour. I would love to HEAR the curved dash Olds run. I have heard every Classic Oldie a million times, and it no longer enhances the experience if done NONSTOP. I would PAY for 5m of STFU on that PA system.

Nice to see a lot of police there too, keep them alcoholics under control.

Found a J-2 air cleaner for a friend that needed one. Found an NOS F-845 steering wheel for Milan. Saw a 8-hole intake f/s at the Vendor Who Chooses Not To Be Named. Algon injection?

Real '68 OAI air cleaner affordably priced.

Note the OIL CAN under the hood of the truck. The rockers are exposed, and you are expected to keep them cleaned and lubed.

I've got to agree. When they played Cher's "Bang, Bang" I wished that someone would poke my eardrums with a nail so I wouldn't have to hear anymore. But the sound did seem not as loud this year.

65B01Delta

Well I had to go to a all Oldsmobile car show/swap meet just to fine this front plate for my 3/4 ton Chevrolet truck that drags home all my finds & all my friends brake downs.. Looks good, Aye ?? Old School.

And a few more pictures.

65B01Delta

4-Speed, If you need me to check out the 65 Starfire, let me know I'm about 35 miles away. If I had the space I would buy it NOW... Looks really nice to me.. Heck I might just look at it tomorrow....

oldsman72

Thanks for posting all of those pics! Beautiful cars but I give extra kudos to the owners of those wagons. That's A LOT of car.

Also, thanks Starfire for the March of Dimes link. You gotta be in it to win it!

lsutigers93

AWESOME pics!! One of these years imma be able to go!

I put a link to last year posts about homecoming and e-mailed most of the board members, seems if you take the time to address the issues on both ends maybe something will change.

ScottoW31

Actually I did!! Thanks.

HurstLightning84

hahaha! That was funny.. I think some nice down time is when they do the auction. They need to shut that thing off when they start that!!! why does EVERYONE need to hear it?

But it was a awesome show!! I loved every min of it. Any one hear of the final number on who showed? I heard it may have been close to a record year? I'd love to see it grow even larger!
I look forward to this every year! Thanks again for everyone who helped put it together and was able to make it!!

1969w3155

The down side is minimal parking for spectators, I rode down with one buddy in his daily driver, when his 442 wouldn't start (was running fine the day before), he got so pissed at the lack of parking that he dropped me off, and went home...110 miles, without ever seeing the show. We followed another friend in his '68 442, so I had a ride back.

HurstLightning84

Yeah, I'll have to agree with you there. The show lot and swap meet set up is awesome, ( perhaps a little more organization, maybe go by year classes? ) and the swap meet area is set up nice, but it does feel like spectator parking was a after thought. Although, I'm not rightly sure what could be done seeings there is no real good parking lot in the area?

BlackGold

Agreed on the lack of spectator parking!!!

I arrived at 9:45, just 45 minutes after the official start time, and all legal spectator parking was already full. I have heard complaints in previous years about us parking on the grass, so I chose to respect that. I finally decided to register my car just so I could park it on the show field. But after sitting in line for 5 minutes I grew impatient and saw an empty spot in a lot reserved for some other purpose. I feel sorry for anyone who arrived after 10:30.

I hate to complain about a show that's obviously grown way beyond what the volunteers probably want to deal with, but there's got to be SOMETHING they can do to better accommodate spectators!
