We have arranged a block of rooms at the host hotel the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center located just off the square in Marietta. Use the code BOPC to get the approved room rate of $89 per night and make a weekend of it. Contact the Hotel, 770-427-2500 for reservations and join us Friday night at the Hotel for the opening event reception and party. The show starts at 11AM Saturday morning with awards given at 2PM.

There will be live demonstrations, new cars, a DJ spinning Classic Rock and Roll as well as Drawings, Goodie Bags for paid participants, Food/Drink, 25 different awards given and a host of other activities. Oh, and don't forget the most fantastic Automobiles from the General's stable of Buicks, Oldsmobile's, Pontiac's and of course Cadillac/LaSalle!

So book a room, join us for the Friday Night Kick Off Party, maybe take home a Trophy on Saturday and make a weekend of it.

jeffreyalman

cutlassgal

We expect to see lots of pics!!! Jamesbo.... get me a T-shirt.... size Medium!

Jamesbo

I spose you want a trophy too.

jeffreyalman

Sandy come down!

cutlassgal

Well, yeah.... a trophy would be nice too!!! But I'll settle for a t-shirt or tank top! I wish I could go. I can't wait for show season - to get out and look at the cars... and enjoy the sun! I would be afraid to drive her to Gawja.... that's a long ways!

jeffreyalman

that is not a long way for a 72!!! it's a walk in the park for a 72, only 500 miles, shorter trip than I have to drive! I should have ordered a T shirt

Jamesbo

The fine print [in mice type] said all they got in ladies sizes are wet T-shirts

Naw,

De show is right over thar about a stones throw from whar you ole buddy at. It's near the Big Chicken nearby de Martin Marietta /Lockhead/Bell Bomber plant I learnt ya 'bout a few weeks ago.

WTH, It's gonna take me a week from ere to get thar.

cutlassgal

I like that Big Chicken!! Yep, I'll have to tell Marc he better go to that show and meet you guys and take pics for me!

rocketraider

Used to try to get to that show every year, but since someone in Corporate decreed that spring will be outage season and no one can take vacation, I guess I won't get there again till I retire. I'd hesitate taking any of my cars on a road trip like that right now too.

Cory did the 1995 and 2000 National Meet shirts and promotional artwork, as well as for dozens of eastern Oldsmobile zone shows. He's done work for Buick, Riviera Owners, Cad-LaSalle and other clubs. He does a limited run of Christmas cards every year too.

jeffreyalman

wow 6 days from now I will be in Atlanta yea!!!

Jamesbo

Me and Donny will be there also. 69 442 trophy blue drop top and 69 H/O Oh yeah, Another bud is dragging over the 69 Vista.


I'd like to shake your hand

I bet cha a dime to a dounut Hollywood Florida is farther away than Sandy. People think once ya get to Gawga you're almost to Miami.

I'll look fer the yellow 88. You can look fer the green drop top or the yellow H/O. The pollen dis year is aweful

Bluevista

I don't know about that, I think Sandy's in another universe.

Three cars?
One way to increase your odds of getting an award I guess?
Participant judging I take it?

Hitting that 20 buck party Friday?

My party would be a keg of beer, a box of wine (for those who swing that way) and a few pizzas on the tailgate of the Vista Cruiser. Ten bucks, cash bar, bring your won cup.

jeffreyalman

mine is white - Atlanta is 12 hours, exactly 1/2 to Dearborn.

I can do 12 hours easily in my car, in fact I look forward to it!

Intermediates must get tiring after 7-8 hours, not sure --->

And poor Sandy has so much on her mind right now what with those aftermarket bolts and the ill fitting trunk mat I hope she's ready in time for the May 2 dust-off, she seems calm but it's only 2 weeks away!

Jamesbo

Feel free to ice down sum stone crabs and throw em in de trunk.

Jamesbo

Actually Blue,

I've never been to dis show and no I ain't about to go to Corn Cobb County and have a drink. Dat means no Friday party.

I like my life outside the jail. We're gonna go over Saturday a.m. and go home to celebrate. Dis area of town ain't no place to party. Don't wanta go on "vacation and leave on probation."

Olds buds BEWARE CORN COBB County is not de place to party.

jeffreyalman

sorry my cooler is full but here ya go http://www.joesstonecrab.com/ my plan was to stay with friends thurs night in NE ATL, get car cleaned and head over to hotel sometime fri afternoon, party & stay, then back to friends after show so I will have no keys on me (except for the trunk - cooler)

jeffreyalman

accdg to the ISH (Information Super Highway) Atlanta is about 75 miles further from me than from Sandy

Jamesbo

Looks like it might be a wet one according to the forecast

jeffreyalman

rain keeps the bugs off - ok starting to pack the car - she has her new AACA badge on the grille and everything

Jamesbo

Nice to meet ya jeffrey, Come again but don't bring the lightening.

Well we had a small winder of opportunity and took [rather Donny and Bill took] the drop top and the Vista. I'm glad I opted not to take the 69 H/O

Got to chat wit Jeffery betwix lighting and deluges. Very nice guy and we talked about boats and Bimini.

Saw good ole Joe F. [The hardy perenial at H/O shows], James N. With his red 442 drop top and John B. with his silver SX drop top and sum dude with a vera nice W-31 that I never met.

Alot of nice cars and pleuthora of nice goats Goats, assorted Caddys and Buicks

All in all nice show and good turn out considering the very crumy weather.

Jamesbo

A second front started arriving so Donny, Bill and I had a "Flash of sanity" and decided we didn't want to hold trophies as lighting rods and beat feet towards home. I'm glad we did, It really sho nuff got nasty. Jes as we were leav'in.

If I had to guess, I'd say the below W-31 was one of the better cars there. But I liked them all.

Sorry, I didn't take more pics. The weather was really aweful.

we jeep inn

Thanks for the pics, nice cars. Glad ya'll got to make it out for a little while anyway.

cutlassgal

Thanks for the pics, Jamesbo! What beautiful cars! Thats a shame about the weather. It stormed here today on & off with high winds late afternoon. I did get The Prettiest One out for a spin though! She liked it!!

Is that your 442 engine in the last pic?? with the nice black bolts, LOL?? Did you win a trophy?

jeffreyalman

great time, I don't think we had one minute of no rain once it started. Jim great meeting you, wagon is cool!




tons of pics here

got a couple awards too - not sure how I got first in class when the class was filled with unbelievable Cadillacs and Buicks (full-size convertibles)





man that day was rough, missed a spin out and head on 85N just ahead of me by less than a minute

luckily I got to friends before they did and snagged the carport

just got in after 10 hour trip home - car was perfect.

Great time, will be back next year, met a ton of great people, 1st class show all the way.

Jamesbo

Geeze Louise,

That was a close call. Glad you and your car made it.

Congratulations on the trophy. You got yourself one cool car.

We left early and the bottom fell out. Both Olds [the 442 drop top and the Vista] were fine but my Frigg'in Suburban ignition got sum water in it sum how and went "Tango Unifrom" in the center lane of the middle of the the 8 lane parkway.

Thankfully, it restarted in about a minute and a half. [Felt like a year]
and I made it home.

I don't think we've got any members from Marietta so I can say this without gett'in slammed. Driving in that area of Atlanta is like try'in to drive around Mars. I hate it. and the rain'in and flood'in it made it all the worse.

cutlassgal

Jeffrey.... Congratulations!!! That is way cool - Best of show - Wow!! I'm glad you had a safe trip and Olds did well for you. Too bad about the weather.
