Please note, due to a scheduling conflict, we will be located on the opposite side of the mall parking lot this year. See the back of the updated show flyer for details. No other changes in date or time.

I am on the fence about it right now. I haven't made it there for a couple of years. If the weather looks decent, it might be a nice day out.

We would love a 66 98 at the show ! Is this Bruce B?


We have several pre-regs including a couple of Cadillacs, a 69 GTO Judge, a 70 GSX (clone) and two 69 Hurst / Olds ! Hope to see lots of CO's, come by and introduce yourself. Tell all your BOPC friends as well.


One week to go !

Yea, I'm looking to go but I just can't make the time commitment to stay through 3 PM. I'll be driving my '73 Custom Cruiser.

Right now weather looks dry but you cannot rely on the extended forecast this early. Will be watching and I hope to trailer the 442 there, providing they keep my trailer reservation at Uhaul! Last year they had no trailer even with my reservation.

Chris, wow a 73 Custom Cruiser !


We try to have the awards given out and the show wrapped up by 3, sooner if it is real hot. And if you need to leave earlier, no problem, we do not require you be there for the entire show.
Look forward to meeting you and the 73 at the show !

Im Planning on bringing Rusty the W45 Hurst Old. The w 46 H/o is not ready to go yet, and probably wont be for a few years due to my oldest and her college tuition...lol

I dont think we have had this car to any of your shows. The last one which you were familiar with went to a guy in North NJ.

Im hoping next year to have my son bring his car also, he is looking for a good Omega or a 78-79 t/a with the 403 Old motor...
Hope to see you Saturday!

Joe, Did you have Rusty at the 2012 H/O Nats in Hershey, in spectator area ? I think that maybe the last time I have seen you. Either way look forward to seeing you and Rusty on Saturday. And look forward to next year as well with your son bring one hopefully as well !

I Did see you at Hershey but that was not my car. I never seen that car before and havent seen it since. Nice guy and decent car but he had no idea what was right or wrong on the car. He asked me to critique his car. I was reluctant to do so but did, dont think he expected the results.
AnyH/O see you Saturday hopefully!

If anyone is interested the show today was nice. We had perfect weather and about 65 cars. This year we had a gathering of Caddys which is unusual with a few Buicks and Pontiacs and the majority of cars were Oldsmobiles. Big and smaller cars were mixed in. It was fun to see a 64 Jetstar and 98 near each other. I got a chance to see the 330 engine mounts compared to the 394. The 70's Custom Cruiser was cool. There were plenty of H/O's and 442's. Sorry I took no pictures.

We did have a great show!
I did take pictures, some posted here

There was a great assortment of BOPC's. BOS went to a 1940 Buick.
For Hurst Olds Day we had 9 H/O's and a visted by Don Glover, Hurst Olds engineer in the 60's and 70's - great stories and memorabila from him.

Thanks to everyone who came out!
