MCACN's 2025

This show is awesome, every year. Crowds were heavy Saturday morning. Olds was very well represented, even made the T-shirt.

Looks like I see John Troxell's Vista Cruiser in the house. I remember John Troxell, Paul Mayo while racing at Atco, Maple Grove, Cecil County and Englishtown Raceways.

We began racing at Atco, Maple Grove, Cecil County and Englishtown. Paul and John Troxell advanced to the Nationals. I hope you enjoy a few "back in the day" photos.

Both 65's were really nice. The engine color seemed off on the blue one.

Awesome photos, thanks for sharing! That black 6-bbl 2+2 gives me tingles in the nether regions.

Ramsey and Sons Oldsmobile indeed won Platinum. That NOS battery that Sigmund Motors discovered and Peter Herbst delivered put the car over the top.

I'm always amazed when certain NOS parts are entered back into circulation. I can understand an NOS bumper or **** but how does one find an NOS 60 year old battery? These are the stories I love to hear and, to me, really add to the preservation / restoration of a car.

Glad you asked. Paul knew that I needed a battery for a few years. One day after work I get an email with a link. I click on it. It’s an NOS battery. Located in Orange Beach FL. Guy would not take pay pal or any type of electronic payment. After digesting the price I asked my friend in Jacksonville how close Orange Beach was. Answer, 15 minutes. So now I had a guy to PayPal. And he agreed to pick it up.

I call the seller, he’s 87 years old. Ex FBI, now retired. He lived in Metro Detroit in 1964. He bought a new 64 GTO from Royal Pontiac. He also purchased a spare battery. Which he never used. His grand daughter discovered it in the garage while helping him clean it out.

Peter met the seller, brought it to Carlisle and handed it off to my friend Tom. Who delivered it back to Michigan. The first time it was installed in a vehicle was Friday afternoon. Dated to my dec built 442. And doesn’t have the scallop on the base for a wedge retainer. It’s a legit NOS Delco DC-12 from 1964.

He still owns the GTO. Had Royal install a 421 for him. Peter saw the car.

The car was badass. His dad knew a few folks at Royal.
They wanted to buy a 421 Catalina in the summer of '63...the folks at the dealership said to wait a few months...there was a new car coming out.

Great show and good pics! Of the Oldsmobiles that were judged (and there were quite a few), the sherwood green '70 W-30 was superb.

Thanks for posting all the great pictures. Made me feel like I was there. That black Stage 1 is gorgeous.

Congrats on winning a trophy with the blue/blue '69. Great looking car. I believe you've said in the past that car has a 3 speed?

Thanks for the great shots! I feel like I’ve just been a great car show, all without leaving home.

That 2+2 4 speed is great. Always liked those.

Cheers
Chris
