Show/ Swap meet St. paul, MN

[Robk]

Looking forward to tomorrow.   Sounds like around 1:00 or so people will start gathering.   My wife came through on the food so we will have burgers, chix breasts, potato salad and beans.  Beer store is a block away.  We should be in good shape.

Jon, sorry you can't make it, hope to see you this summer.
Milton, I'll bring the dealer book from BCA last year, and whatever pictures I have.
Anything else?

Looking forward to this weekend, I think the weather may actually cooperate somewhat... at least it won't be snowing!

I've been checking NOAA weather every day this week, hoping for the best. If I remember, I'll bring down some of the best cheddar cheese you'll ever taste, courtesy of a small place about 1/2 hour south of me.

Not sure yet if I will check in at La Quinta first, or head directly to Rob's and check in later. It will likely depend on how my travel is going. Need about 3 gas stops, plus I-94 can be crazy on Saturday's. Construction also happening at Monticello.

Sounds good Mark.

Thanks for thinking of it.

Tom, travel safe! See you there! Weather appears to be looking ok, probably no rain, highs near 60...

How about that sweet banner that John had made.

[GS66]

Well we made it to the show and I was able to get pictures of some 65 GS's. I could not identify all but I did see Dan's red convertible from WI and Tom's cream yellow 4 speed car with the brown interior. We parked near his with our astro blue 66 GS. I also saw a white convertible with a red interior, the red convertible for sale (Milton?), a red convertible with a black top from MN, (J. Keena?), a black convertible (Jay). Sorry we didn't get to meet anyone, had to be back for grandsons birthday. We will be back next year and hopefully make the party too!

You all have very nice 65 Gran Sports! Maybe next year we'll be in a 65 as well. Who's were the ones I couldn't identify?

You are right, my red ext, red int, white top convertable 65 GS #99 in the 65GS Registry was in the Car Corral today.

I also had my white on white on white 65 GS Hard Top that once belonged to John Egel 65 GS Registry #31 at the get together last night and you see it in the middle of Loren's picture below.

I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to cross paths with you today but there will sure be additional opportunities this year as Loren has pointed out with the all GM show in early June and the Heartland BCA Regional here later this summer.

Keep the faith as more and more mid 60's A body Buick's are sprouting out every year.

As a side note I convinced Keith in the blue club jacket of Lorens picture to come join the fun last night and he couldn't stop talking the whole 35 miles back home.

Jim,
 The mystery "J Keena" is me.   I am called by my middle name.  That was my red convert.  It was a good show for 65's.
Look forward to meeting you next time.

Saturday was really a great gathering.
Good food and great company. I think I can safely say we all had a fantastic time.

I want to say thanks to Rob Keena for hosting the Saturday get together. Also thanks to Mark for bringing along pictures. I think Milt had some pictures also. Not to be forgotten, all the pictures, dealer literature and the cool back drop banner that John showed up with. Thank you all for a great event.

Looks like another great gathering! I need one of those banners for my new place!

It was a long weekend drive to the Twin Cities and back to Kansas City but well worth it. It was good to see the old gang again and meet some new '65 GS nuts. I had a great time and plan to make this an annual trip north. Thanks to Rob for hosting the pre-show gathering. I'm envious of his shop. Thanks to his wife for helping with the food. Loren brought some Nebraska corn feed T-bone steaks to compliment the grilled hamburgers and chicken breasts. Thanks to Milton and his BCA chapter for putting together a huge swap meet and car show. I rarely see so many '65 GS in the same show. Kudos to those that drove their GSs from far away places like Winnepeg and Green Bay.

Jon, regarding the banner, some of the guys at the gathering have also expressed a desire to have a banner printed for them. I will check with the shop that I had mine printed at and see if I can get a discount for printing multiple banners. If anyone else is interested, speak up now.

John
regarding the banner, I would be interested in one.

I'd definitely be in for a banner.
