All

More to come but my iPhone pictures won't load into 65GS.com until I get home and shrink them.

Great pictures Walt and really great to meet you, Tony and other new people at the Nationals.

Walt.  Thanks for sharing your photos with us. Great looking cars, all of them. Being able to walk thru Mr. Bulgari's collection of cars would have been great. Sorry I missed it.

Got this pic this morning from Brian - his 66 Skylark won (or tied for) the "Spirit of the 60s" award in Allentown.
Does anyone know if Nicola Bulgari had a hand in the trophies chosen for these?
Wow.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!  I see that you have had a relationship with your Buick very much like the one I have with my trusty wagon!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Brian, congratulations! Love the old photos of you and your '66.

Walt, thanks for posting photos from the event. There are more photos posted on the BCA website. What an amazing complex and venue for the Nationals. Wish that I could have been there.

Thanks everyone!  I was completely blown away when I won that.  Was not expecting to win anything at the show.  There were a lot of 60s Buicks there that I thought were nicer than mine!
  Check out this panoramic pic of the show field that someone posted on the BCA forum:
