Finished the event today with a yummy brunch (thanks Glenn and Bonnie!), then a 40 mile cruise to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum.  Viewed some beautiful cars (and a lady in the parking lot taking pictures of Loren's car on his trailer), then said our "see you next time"s and departed.  What a great weekend.  A huge thanks again to Kevin, Angie, Glenn and Bonnie for an outstanding weekend of our favorite cars and old and new friends.  Since this was the "First Annual", we're already looking forward to next year's event!

Cheers!

Chuck

 :thumbsup:

What a great time!  I just can't say how appreciative I am to Glenn, Bonnie, Kevin and Angie for all they did to make this happen.

Friday at the Gilmore Museum was not enough time to see all that is there.  Definitely will be another trip to that.  Then Saturday, a fantastic , fun day with old and new friends, participation gifts, good food and company.  Just a great time in all.

It was a bit smaller then we had anticipated but there is always next year. As you can see from the pictures, we had more then just '65 Gran Sports show up. So don't be shy folks. This is about the people just as much or even more then the cars.

Here is to hoping future get togethers will spread East, West, North and South.

They definitely put on a good show and we had a great time. We got back late today and had no issues with the Buick which had not seen any miles in a long time. Kevin and Glen did a great job with their spouses in organizing this event. It was nice to meet some new faces and I think everyone had fun.No one posted our souvenir that Kevin made with his pocketknife...(think they will believe me,Kevin?)... Thanks for the invitation and all the hospitality.

Thanks guys for the kudos.  Glenn and I started kicking this get-together idea around last spring. Sunday afternoon as I took the first annual get-together banner down, I felt a sense of satisfaction that we had pulled it off. But it wasn't just us, once again we proved to ourselves its not the cars in the room but rather the people standing around them.

I'm rather new to Buick's, I learned more standing around my GS project for five minutes with Loren, Chuck and 'the' Dan's than I've been able to learn in the last couple years.
We received some much needed rain here in Defiance and made new friends at the same time, can't get much better than that. Dan B, I'll be sharpening my pocket knife and be getting started on the plaques for next year.

Dan I'll leave it to you to post your brides Christmas card picture.

One more note, everyone should be aware you helped make Marv's day, maybe his year. He had a great big smile on his face as he passed his scrapbook around the dinner table. Hopefully next year we can drive down to his place and see his collection. 
 
Again, thanks everyone for helping making this a weekend to remember, hope to see ya next year if not sooner.

Thanks for posting the GREAT photos and keeping those not able to attend in the loop on the NW Ohio Get-Together.
Looks like a beautiful setting too. BCA Nats are in eastern WI in 2017, hope to meet some of the Ohio group there.

Dear Kevin and mid-60s art patrons, . . .

Some folks asked about a print on canvas of our yellow car that hangs in the garage Here's the information.


Thanks for sharing!  :thumbsup:  That is a beautiful picture and your car looks absolutely perfect in the scene!  :love4:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

P.S.  . . . . But there is just one little thing wrong with it - it isn't a Buick wagon!! . . .  :laughing7:

Kevin

Your picture looks a lot like the gas station at the Gilmore Museum.

Did you actually take the picture there or was there some picture magic done to come up with this great combination?

The picture sure adds to the ambiance of your garage.

Thanks for passing on the contact information.

Thanks Milton. The photo is all smoke and mirrors. It was taken at a car show, the car was surrounded by people and cars with a church in the back ground.  He can also work with your photo, so if you have a favorite photo of your car give him a call. My print is 26"X39" he has larger and smaller and he has several back grounds available.
I thought his prices were very reasonable. If you're interested give him a call; he's very good about returning calls.
By the way, the yellow car won the best engine award at the show.
