Alright Milton, it will be good to see that GS with fresh paint. Hope it is dry by then LOL
Loren

I'll be there with the red convertible. And I'm hoping to have the silver convertible back together in time for its debut.
John

Yeah John!!!
The push is on. "I think I can, I think I can" Come on John.... you can do it!
Loren

My car and i will be there (assuming it is ready- it's a bit disassembled right now)
RobK

Great Rob,
Probably being held up because of wiring? I will get that done for you.
Loren
-
hah! thanks Loren.
It's wiring and a lot more. I will have new chrome and rubber and polished stainless in my wing windows, new battery, new carpet, new kick panels, new (polished) stainless in the back, new head lights, blasted and painted exhaust manifolds, tires, etc etc etc.
Rob

Dan Habel and I are thinking about making the trip from Ohio and I may have my coupe with me if I can pull everything together in time. :icon_thumright:

Loren, I am planning on bringing the 65 GS, need to get to work on it if the weather ever gets better. Thanks Bill.

Thanks Bill, yours is definitely a good example of a survivor.
Will see you for the Lincoln swap for sure, still need to get to Lees.

Rob,
It looked great with the first restoration, sounds like more then just a little tweaking. LOL

Boy that Buick show sounds like a lot of fun . You guys are making me jealous :crybaby2: .
I'll be thinking of all the fun I'll be missing when I'm pounding nails on our house addition .
Hope its great weather for that show :cheers2:
-
I would be great to finally meet some of you guys and reconnect with some of those who I've met in the past. Dan would be flying into Ohio and we would make the trip from there. I would have room for a couple more if anyone was interested in meeting at my house in Ohio and making the trip with us. If my car is done in time, I'll have it on the trailer behind us otherwise I'll just make the trip without a 65 to hang with some good friends.

I am going to try and make this too. We will be near St Louis on the Power Tour and since we're not long hauling this year we might try to make it over to Springfield. I would like to meet some of you too!

SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING... driving the 65 coupe to this event.. Prolly crazed to think about driving a 53,000 original mile survivor from Tampa Bay but hey, these cars were built to drive..right? I have work to do, all newbrake lines & wheel cylinders, exhaust system, rear end & on & on.
Making this event in on my bucket list for 2015.
Wheelz, Tampa Bay

With luck it will work out, it's always good to meet up with another GS fan.

It looks like there are no rooms at the inn. Ramada shows no rooms available on those dates. Anyone have a handle on off site lodging/ parking?
-
Reading on another forum - there are only 3 65 GS Skylarks registered so far for Springfield.
Mark
-
Mine is one of the three. Sure there will be a lot of late registrations.
Rollaround - many of us have rooms at Comfort Inns & Suites at 2815 N Glenstone. Give them a call at 417-869-8246
Dan
-
Is there a deadline to register? I plan to be there with my car but the registration requires me to know my BCA number (which I don't) so I was waiting until the next issue of the Bugle arrives at my house.
Rob
-
Rob, there's no deadline I know of. The cost just goes up after a certain date, but don't recall the cutoff date.
Mark

Registration dead line is May 25, 2015.

BCA Nationals registration form.

Mine's in the mail as of this am! Bringing our newly restored 65 Skylark. Not a GS but gotta have a good showing of 65's!

Nothing wrong with not being a GS, that's what got me started into this crazy obsession.

I got confirmation of my registration for the BCA nationals.
I am number 128. The '65 count is now at 7 GS, 2 Skylarks , 2 Wild cats and 2 Rivieras.
Need to get on the stick and get your entry in, time has a way of slipping away on us all. Before we know it June will be here.
Loren

Mark Ascher ,
sent you a pm .
-
Hey guys , is the Bca national meet a car show only or do they also have a swapmeet there also ?
-
John,
The Nationals and most regionals have a swap meet along with the show.
Nationals seem to have more vendors as well, with primarily Buick items. Quite a lot different then other swap meets since it is aimed at Buick enthusiasts.

Loren , I knew I shouldn't have asked !
Now I want to go really bad . :icon_scratch: Hmmm maybe I could tell my wife there is something down there I need to get for the house addition .
Oh well , I,ll be fully retarded ( I mean retired ) after this summer so then I,ll be able to run free .
-
Count down is on.... only 10 days left to register. :whip2:
Twenty- six to show time.
