Less than 2 days to go til the show. I'll be busy tonight and whatever time I can find tomorrow getting last minute touches ready. As of right now, I have a small caravan of 4 76 Ninety Eight Regency Coupe's all leaving from my house Sunday morning. Same crew as last year except another friend is meeting us there with a '76 Regency sedan. We had another coupe coming but he had to cancel because of the rescheduling.
Hoping for another beautiful day and a show full of nothing but classic Oldsmobiles!

76 Regency - "small caravan of 4 76 Ninety Eight Regency Coupes"
How could 4 of those cars make a "small" caravan
GREAT looking weather and glad the rain date worked out!
Looking forward to seeing many classic Oldsmobiles Sunday

We will have another joining us at the show but he's coming from Rhode Island so he won't be part of the "small" caravan This year I'm going to make an effort to take as many pictures as possible of the whole show field. Last year I found myself mostly taking pictures of the fleet of 98's lol.

Great show today! Lots of exceptional cars and the weather cleared out and it was beautiful. It was great to see some of the old friends I've been missing for a few years! Hope everyone made it home safely!

What a GREAT show yesterday! There were over 100 Oldsmobiles and the weather turned out perfectly. I have a bunch of photos that I hope to post tonight.
I'm very proud to say that my black 98 scored First Place!

It was a great day, nice to see a few people here, joe with his 67 trac pac (i like that air cleaner) and tony with his cutalas wagon (nice paint) i told him it would look cool with a coffin in the back, steve's w-31 sounded like a bear when he pulled in... glens car was 2 cars next to me but i didnt meet him, i'm sorry if i didnt get around to seeing everyone it was like oldsmobile overload i've never seen that many nice olds in one place, and appreciate everyone showing up and especially those that came long distances... what a credit to the hobby, thanks to NEOC and all involved .... my wife and i had a great time

Just want to say thanks to everyone involved with running the New England Olds Car show. TOOOO many people to name, you know who you are!!!!!
I was honored with an Appreciation Award with my 1970 W-31 at the show. My car by far is NO show car at all. Nice feeling that my car was appreciated. 1999 was the last time I was rewarded for a car OF MY OWN at this show, because my car being apart, involved with other Oldsmobiles restorations not of my own, life, kids ect.......
Thanks again I really appreciate it NEOC!!!!!
I know what it takes FIRST HAND to run THIS car show. GREAT JOB as always

Show Pictures!!!
Here are my pics from the show. I tried to get a picture of every car and got almost all of them. Unfortunately, time moved incredibly fast and before I even got to the Seniors, they were starting to call the raffles and then awards. Before the awards were even over, cars were already starting to leave so sorry I didn't catch every car but this is still the majority.
