It was great meeting you in person Chuck.  Thanks for brining your red convertible--it is an amazing car with lots of great history behind it.  I remember seeing the magazines it was in that you have on your display sign back when they were new!

Same here Brian.  Thanks for all the help and guidance you've provided along the way.  I feel like we've been friends for a long time, but now the relationship is sealed.  After all, you have the distinction of finding the elusive fan shroud for me!   :hello2:

It was great to see everyone and meet some of you for the first time. Oh, we received the highly coveted "Driven Award".  :occasion14: I will say you really appreciate the Buick quality when driving a 65 on a trip; they were engineering marvels back then!

Thank you all for the kind remarks about Will. He really wasn't buying into the car culture until A. got his drivers license Feb 2017; B. we went to World of Wheels, March 2017. Something kicked in after that. He took a number of videos at the meet and he should be posting some of those today.

Fun time at Tony's party; fun time at the show seeing all the cars; fun time visiting with great people; and fun time driving to and from Milwaukee in a 65 GS!
