Replying to: fezo (Jun 29, 2009 9:48 am) Yeah, usually you have to go out west to see 57-59 Mopars since they were rust buckets just like the Fords of that era. But I still love those mid to late fiftes Virgil Exner Mopars and some of them still look real good like the Chrysler 300, Plymouth Fury and DeSoto Adventurer. How about a Chrysler trapezoidal 300 grill and DeSoto 3 vertical light tail? Don't forget the rear antennas! |

Replying to: parm (Jun 29, 2009 7:45 pm) I drove my '76 LeMans today, and so far, so good. Sometimes it'll get fidgety on the first start of the day. However, today it did just fine, and I hadn't started it since Sunday afternoon. I would have liked to have put both the Catalina and the LeMans in the GM show, but I didn't have a second driver. One of my friends went up with me, but he's not that knowledgeable about older cars. He's afraid of anything where you have to pump the gas pedal before starting it! They had the class for the full-size Pontiacs and the 1961-81 Tempest/LeMans side by side, so it would've been kinda neat to see the cars on the show field, almost side by side! They had the GTO in a separate class, as well as the Grand Prix, so the Tempest/LeMans group was pretty sparse. A couple '66-67 models showed up, a 77.5 Can Am, and maybe couple '68-72's. |

| Anyone attending the Deutsche Classic in Fleetwood, PA, this weekend? | |

Replying to: eastwoodco (Jul 08, 2009 6:11 am) I'll be out that way in the beginning of August, for the car show at the Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie, PA. I have my '67 Catalina convertible registered, but if something happens to it, I have my '76 LeMans as a backup. And if that one gets cranky, I guess I can always fall back on my '79 5th Ave! **Edit...I just googled the Deutsche Classic, and see it's all German cars. Seems kinda ironic to have it in Fleetwood! I wonder how Cadillac owners take to that!

I just caught mention of this in the local paper. GTO and Grand Prix Co-Vention Nutter Center (Wright State University), Fairborn (Dayton), Ohio for July 10-11, 10 am - 5 pm. The parking lots are all reserved for the particpants! and a shuttle service for $1 from Lot 4, a campus parking lot, is being used. If you googleearth the Nutter Center, that is a lot of area for the participants so they must be expecting lots of cars from the two clubs. This includes the unpaved remote parking for the Nutter Center. More info with links at nuttercenter.com for July 10-11, 10 am - 5 pm. |
