If your show were to be held 2 months later that would be a can-do. My brother in Elizabethtown is getting married 7/11 and we will be there. And I just might take the 1994 CS for sentimental reasons. When my dad got this car from me and had it 2012-2018, my 2 nephews were carted around in it when they were small kids and I'm sure my brother would like to see it.

I'd almost swear that I am cursed. I'm not saying that the show is more important (it is not), but the timing is odd. Last year I was up in the area (Unionville, PA about 15-20 minutes away) at the time of the show. But I was attending my Mother's funeral so there was no way that I was going. This year I will be up there again on show weekend. But my Brother, Sister and I will be at my Mother's place working on the property.
Go figure.

Family always comes first! This Spring BOPC show is always the Saturday of the weekend before the weekend of Memorial Day and also falls on National Hurst/ Olds Day.
We also do a Fall all Oldsmobile show, this year on October 11, more details and show flyer to come soon. That one typically falls on the Sunday after the AACA Hershey meet. It has always been in Downingtown, PA, which is probably even closer to Unionville (though further from MD). So, save the date, and maybe see you in the Fall!

Weather looking great for tomorrow!

Please bring a non-perishable item for the Food Bank of DE.

Known cars planning to be in attendance - 1942 Olds, 70 W-31 unrestored, 70 Rallye 350, 66 Toronado, 83 and hopefully 84 Hurst, maybe 2 Pontiac Hurst SSJs, Buick GS's and a 69 GTO Judge. And 2 Final 500's. Should be a great show!

A great 19th BOPC show today in Wilmington DE! Beautiful weather and 60 plus fantastic rides! Plus celebrated Hurst / Olds Day. An amazing 1931 Buick won Best in Show. Thanks to all that came out, all the winners and all the club members that help make the show possible!

Welcome to all! Wish I took more pics, was busy helping out at the show. Others took more pics, will get them up on our website hopefully soon.
Don is a member of our chapter and has been an integral part of our Hurst/Olds day and our other shows for many yearsWe actually met him at one of our Hurst Olds days many years ago. He has some great artifacts, pictures and stories! He is scheduled to be at the Blue Gray Olds chapters BOPC show on May 30 at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in York Springs PA and will do a seminar as well if you want to catch him. The museum there is fantastic as well.
