I'll be there saturday,going to make a day of it. Alot of good stuff to see.

Last year was amazing being able to see like 17 of the 52(I think) 1969 camaro ZL-1's.

This year will be a large number of Baldwin-Motion cars amongst all the other goodies.

69 built

this year there will be the 7 known of the 8 built 69 T/A converts.

MCACN and the Pure Stock Drags are can't miss events. Obviously I'll be there.

Please stop by and introduce yourself

Here's a preview of the show. Today was set-up day. There are a ton of gorgeous Oldsmobiles at the show. Worth the trip.

Saw your car today and drooled alot. Also took about 20 pics. Very nice. What size tires are you running front and rear? Really love the look and would love to hear it.

Great showing of Oldsmobiles among a ton of others.

Jims2000, this is the easiest way to reply on the tires. Was somewhat limited due to having 15x7 pass car wheels already, and front air ducts. My son tells me I need a You Tube account to post an audio/video clip. I'll try to get one soon.

Bob, nice meeting you. That is a nice car!!

yeah, those scoops can limit tire size, but with some careful measuring you can go up without rubbing through the back of the scoops.

I went on Sunday. It was nice to see so many rare cars. I do not care much for Corvettes...but, if you do, I saw something interesting - karlkustomcorvettes.com

I also met Linda Vaughn. She is a gracious lady! It was nice that she spends time talking to the fans...not just sign an autograph - "next"!
