Newbie from Upstate NY

Greetings - I'm new to the forum after purchasing my 70 Cutlass Supreme convertible SX tribute in late 2018. I've enjoyed it for three summers now with mostly stock upgrades and fixes. Changing from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel this spring with the OAI cleaner to match the hood. Looking forward to picking the brains of the many experts out there in the days to come. Thanks in advance for your patience and help as I continue to learn.

Bring that baby to the Adirondack Nationals this summer just to cruise. You can easily drive up on a Friday or Saturday do the show eat at Marios and drive back home the same day. Thats what I did when I lived in Ballston Spa. Could always stay in Saratoga or Clifton Park if you wanted a long weekend say if you were way south of Albany.

Welcome to CO. The challenge around here is to keep a car dry, especially in the off months in storage.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm actually about 10 minutes north of Albany, and actually work in Saratoga. Lake George is only an hour away for me. Went to that show as a spectator years ago but haven't had the Cutlass there yet. It needed some different things over the last 3 years and I'm only now more comfortable getting too far from home! I would like to try this summer. BTW we have family in Buff and my son went to RIT so we know the trip on the Thruway well.

I am also just north of Albany in the Latham area... Any chance you may have taken your SX to one of Guptils Cruise Nights or attended any of the local shows in the Troy area...

Latham is the exact spot. I've only been to Guptill's shows as a spectator before owning. As soon as I got the car the shows stopped! Haven't hit too many shows or Cruise Nights yet but hopefully if COVID ever goes away life will return to more normal.
