Thanks, wish I was there..

 

By 10 am it was getting too warm.

 

I rolled in around 2:30. Did a few rows after they let me in for free. I’ll be there all day tomorrow.
Was Bob the only dedicated Olds vendor? (He’s the guy with the red vert)
Great weather, wish I brought shorts!

There is another one with an old RV that is nosed into a vendor row. He has mostly 70-72 parts.

 

I went to the Deale, MD pie run this morning. Didn't take too many pics, but saw 2 red 69-70 version and this sweet 68

 

A lot of people were wearing shorts. At sunrise, the temps were already in the low 60s.

Just a tip to bypass the long ticket lines. You can download your ticket online and store it in your Apple Wallet. They scan these in a separate, short line. We were inside by 7:50 a.m. Arrive by 7:15 a.m. due to the long lines of cars trying to turn into the speedway parking lots.

 

Thanks for the updates.... Keep those pix coming, please.....

Take some pictures of interesting vendor spreads.....

Enjoy !!! Yours, Craig...

 

This one even has nos pine straw still attached.

 

For the bizarre and seldom seen here you go. It still runs its original 354.

 

For the extremely bizarre how about:

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!!!

 

I wonder if that's the prop car the owner bought and actually put a turbine engine in it.

Edit: guess not, this is different. https://www.thedrive.com/news/30698/...egal-batmobile

Turkey Run is a great show, I went a couple times with my father and his recently departed friend Jim Mumma in Jim's pink 56 New Yorker.

 

TRI Carb…thanks for the tickets online tip. Saved me :30!!!
Not much Olds representation and very few Olds parts.
May skip it next year.

That's the one. He was a stand up dude. Former USAF Vietnam Veteran and then United Airlines ticket agent.

Car wouldn't accelerate fast, but it would accelerate "powerfully". It would cruise at high speed, too.

 

I have seen the car at the TRR in earlier years. He did a wonderful restoration on an Exner, who was a genius, piece of art.
