500 cars? That's more than the Nationals.

It WAS awesome.....& hot ! Nothing like a hunnert acre blacktop with hundreds of shiny cars in the broiling noonday sun. Thank goodness for the shade trees here & there....

A great variety of cars. I saw everything from the little curved dash buggies puttering around to some of the last Alero/Aurouras. Stock unrestoreds to meticulous show&go hot rod types to concourse restos to racecars....

Wish I'd had a camera.... and a hat !

Hopefully some of those toting cameras are members here and will post up pics...

It was hands down one of the best things I've ever done with the car. There were a lot of neat people to talk to.. The cars were something else! I took some pictures.. I just have to get them off the memory card and uploaded...

I enjoyed it again this year, went last year for the first time and couldn't believe I hadn't been there before. I liked having the cars all mixed up. Lots of variety, was really nice to see.

I know it's not close for everyone but for us Olds nuts you have to go at least once. The problem is you will want to go every year - right Craig?

My sons and I took pictures and I will post them this week.

Cheers,
Wayne

Not only more cars, but more vendors as well with a good selection of parts.All in all, the best Olds meet in North America.

Yeah Wayne, you're right! So much for my "go once and go again in another couple of years". hahaha. I am for sure going back for the 20th anniversary next year again.
