#35 of 183 Finally! by ghulet Aug 07, 2006 (9:46 pm)
I got to go to a small car show, of sorts, without leaving my neighborhood....we have this festival called 'Retro on Roscoe', it's a couple of blocks long and has the usual weird street vendors, icky food and overpriced cheap beer. They do also have a small vintage car show...didn't take any pictures, unfortunately, but they had the following:   73 Porsche 914 2.0, white with black interior, very nice 68 Corvette conv, nice 20-footer, pretty bad Hugger Orange repaint, nothing special (small block automatic, no power stuff, pretty basic) 69 GTO convertible, boring somehow (light blue, blue interior, automatic) 68 Impala SS fastback, VERY nice--in kind of a light gray-green non-metallic with matching, definitely original interior, 396/TH, tilt wood steering wheel, rallys with small centers and fender skirts (this combo=not available from the factory, IIRC), tissue dispenser 66 Impala SS convertible, blue with white interior and top, 396, just didn't excite me much 73 Buick Centurion converible, all black....eh. 70s pukey green with white Mustang convertible, sorta pretty my favorite, natch-66 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, green non-factory color repaint with original white upholstered bench-seat interior...turns out the owner knows my brother, and is very good friends with his girlfriend (?)

I find that '73 Centurion convertible interesting. Probably because it's just not something you see that often. Seems like with big Buick convertibles of the 70's, the '75 LeSabre is everywhere, but the others are just about invisible. Replies to this message: directbroker (Sep 15, 2006 8:46 pm)

...the Fall Carlisle Meet and the Fall Hershey meet this year?
#40 of 183 Fall Carlisle... by andre1969 Sep 13, 2006 (11:12 am)
is September 27-October 1, so I'm guessing that Saturday is the 30th. At least according to their website.   Hershey is the following weekend, October 4-7, so that Saturday should be the 6th.   I started to freak at first because when I went to the Carlisle website they already had the 2007 dates up and I didn't realize it. Next year Fall Carlisle is October 3-7. I thought at first that both events were scheduled the same weekend! Considering that you can't see one of those shows in a day, just imagine trying to do TWO in a day! Replies to this message: lemko (Sep 13, 2006 11:22 am) andre1969 (Sep 13, 2006 5:12 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Sep 13, 2006 11:12 am) Are you guys planning on attending either or both events? I'd at least like to check out Hershey as I haven't been to that event in over 10 years.   September 30 and October 7th are Saturdays. Please let me know so I can adjust me schedule.

Replying to: lemko (Sep 13, 2006 11:22 am) Yeah Lemko, I'm planning on doing both events, on those Saturdays. Wow, I'm going to be making a lot of trips to PA. On the 23rd I'm driving my Grandma up to Harrisburg for her high school reunion. She was class of 1942 I think.   I keep getting this mental image of that episode of Mama's Family where they had the people in the old folks home playing musical chairs to the tune of "Chariots of Fire". Nah, seriously it's not that bad. I took her up for her reunion 2 years ago, and she had a good time.   But yeah, I'm definitely up for both of those events. As far as I know Grbeck is too. But even if he can't make it, I'd still be up for it.
