Just got back from the first leg of power tour with my Dad and brother. Good times, SWEEEEEEEET IRON. I got a few pics, but ran out of batteries, will post once they are charged up. Only saw a few cutlasses, and a 60 (I think) 88. Needles to say Oldsmobile was under represented, as well as Buick, but I had a blast. Watched one guy get out of hand doing a burnout in cambridge, and will be getting towed home. Sucks to be him. Any how did any one else go? or are you going. Share your pics, and your story.

 

the power tour comes right thru Wisconsin, and i plan on going. hopefully i wont have to be towed home!!! i plan on torching the tires for the olds fans and embarrass a couple chevelles...he he. I'll post pics for all u guys. well gotta go to work, talk to u boys later. Jay

 

need to resize pics or something...they won't upload, I'll get around to it.

 

Look forward to seeing those pics. I hope to go on Power Tour someday.

 

I juest went Tuesday when they passed through Detroit. You are right Olds was sorely missed. I could count them all on one hand...

 

I was riding in the Buick. My Dad finished her up when I was in high school. God time flies. I figured the Cad might be of interest to the land yacht club, but These are the only Oldsmobiles I shot before the batteries died. I saw maybe five or six more the entire day though so not a big loss...I guess I have more from the staging lot if anyone wants to see them. mostly Chubbies and some Fords and Buicks.

 

Found a couple more that might be of interest.

 

I do rememer that W-30 and the white 442. There was a NICE red 66 442 with chrome Torquw Thrusts in Detroit, was it in Wisconsin too?

 

I remember a buttercup 67, but did not see the 66. We were about middle of the pack, and did not get much of a chance to sight see at the beginning, and Racine was a parking lot so we bailed after about a half hour sitting on one block. I don't know what all was in Racine.

 

And you are right... It was Chebby heaven. I never thought I'd stop seeing LT1's and LS6's in old school cars... My friend was jocking saying he must have missed the sale....LOL

 

I know I was wishing I was done with my cutlass. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Just a bunch of car guys and gearheads hangin' out.. With the economy in a total meltdown its going to be a long time before I get too far though. Maybe I'll pull the supra out of the barn and stuff that small block in it...I think I have most of the stuff I'd need to do it. I'm just not really into imports anymore since they suddenly became the cool thing to do.

 

All I have ready to tour would be my Focus (not cool, but economical LOL)......I'll just wait until the Olds is ready.

 

I actually saw some econoboxes and even a minivan in the lot. They will let you run with the pack in anything apparently...just don't expect to get your pic in the magazine.
