Did anyone get a count of 65 GS cars at BG? Wondering if they had as many as BCA, thanks Bill.

Starc

Thanks for the update!

Did anyone slow down long enough to take some pictures?

How was the weather this year?

I'm really glad the 65 GS was well represented in this time of 50th Anniversary celebration.

A big thanks goes out to everyone that could make it this year.

A nice mixture of cars. They broke the cars out as stock hardtop, convertible and street machine. There were 5 hardtops, one coupe, two convertibles and the rest were entered in street machine. As Starc said the weather was great all four days. Beach Bend is a perfect place to host the event. I will let Starc post the pictures as mine did not turn out the best.

Thanks for the picture

I'm not familiar with how to get past picture one or is there only one?

Starc

I work from a desktop without a touch screen.

Is there a way to get to more then the first picture in your album?


Thanks

Thanks for the pictures.  A few cars I haven't seen before and some that I recognize with new owners now.

All very nice rides!

Starc,

Thanks for posting the photos. I'm glad that there was a good showing of '65s. It's been a few years since I have been to Bowling Green. Wish that I could have been there. Like Loren, most of the '65s I know but there are some that are new. Can you post the owner's names with their cars? How many are members of www.65gs.com?
