Stopped by orphan and discontinued car show before my rugby game.

 

Some more pics.

 

Few more

 

another set of pics

 

Good diversity.

Haven’t seen a Marlin in 40 years!

…

 

Is that GrandAM a true SD car? Always liked those but, like their Salon, Luxus and Laguna cousins, people in the 70s didn't understand what they were.

Great variety and some nice examples!

 

Lots of non-orphans or non-discontinued snuck in there, lol.

 

Thank you for posting those pics. A lot of diversity there and as Koda mentioned quite a few "nons" in there too!

 

Looks like a well attended reunion at the orphanage. Great pics, thanks for posting them.

 

I'm 99.9% sure SD455s were never installed in an A-body, certainly not w/ dual quads.

Great show pictures, thanks for sharing.

 

My Pontiac books indicate the X-code SD-455 was available in 1973 GrandAM. Whether any were actually built has been a long-running question. They wouldn't have come with dual quad carburetion, and with the extra striping on the pictured car made me wonder if this was the real deal or someone's fantasy.

If it is a true SD car, someone ruined a very rare car.

 

Great pics, great cars, was this in Connecticut? Didn't see any pic of Wayne Carinie.

 

Yes, Deep River CT.

No Wayne sightings.
I have seen him at the car shows at https://hopsonthehillbrewery.com/

 

A few '73 GTOs night have snuck out before the option was cancelled due to supply issues, but, yeah ... no dual quads.

 

OP: Thanks very much for the post!

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures. This is my second attempt to comment, my first one was long and I kept paging up and down to look at pictures to continue what I wanted to say and somehow lost it all, bummer! Not going to do it again. Agreed, I saw some Chevrolet cars but they were corvairs so I guess the title included discontinued models. Was the SD455 dual quad original from the factory that way? What was the oldest car there, that two door convertible with the badge on the door? Loved the dark green long roof with the white trim, was that a Morris? The colors were almost identical in the brown and tan ambulance (what was it?) and the Mercury Grand Marquis, nice color scheme. The parade car with the horns on the fenders was cool, was it a Cadillac?

 

Definitely not.

 

Non-orphan cars were allowed just not Judged.

I think I was most impressed by 1929 viking. was that the first V8?
Tried to get a word in with the owner, but he was getting bugged by "That guy" who wouldn't let anyone get a word in.
