Arrangements for the meet:

Saturday, September 23: We'll plan to start around 10 am.  Timing isn't precise; come later if you like.  There's no specific format for the meet.  Mainly, just getting together to talk Buicks, ask questions, look at cool cars and enjoy our shared passion.  We'll have snacks and drinks to tide us over until a cookout in late afternoon.  Bring any alcoholic beverages that you'd like to enjoy.  We have a fridge that can be used to keep 'em cold.  Drive your Buicks if you would like to share them with the group.  Or bring them in or on a trailer.  Parking for cars and trailers is available.  Bring any Buick documents/memorabilia/etc. that you like to share.  Also, if you have parts you'd like to sell or swap, bring 'em along!

Sunday, September 24:  For those interested, we'll meet for breakfast in Battle Creek, then convoy out to the Gilmore Car Museum.  We'll spend the day (or as much as you'd like) enjoying the museum and the second day of the Annual Cadillac LaSalle Club meet that will be there.  Info on the Gilmore can be found here: https://www.gilmorecarmuseum.org

Please feel free to bring spouses if you (and they) like.  Directions are attached.  Note that our road tends to be very rough and is partly unpaved, so take care in your approach. 

Looking forward to seeing many of you soon!

 :cheers2:

Chuck

 Sorry to say we will miss this event, sounds like Chuck has put together a great time.  The Gilmore is a fantastic museum and shouldn't be missed.

  Thanks Chuck,

All

If there is anyone still setting on the fence trying to decide if they should attend this get together or not

Please DO!!!

I had the pleasure of attending last year and it was really great.

The location, motels, food, local history and 65GS hospitality was first rate.

We attended the Gilmore on a non show day but the Cadillac show should add a whole new dimension.

We also attended the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum with the Truck Museum located right behind it.

In Minnesota we don't have this level of museum quality car viewing so I really enjoyed this opportunity.

Unfortunately I wont be able to join you this year but I will be looking forward to your pictures.

Have FUN!

Five classic Buicks, seven Buick enthusiasts and wives and we had a great day.  In addition to old friends Kevin and Angie Champagne, Glenn Vinz, Bob and Mary Ann Bowen, and Dan and Dee Breckenridge, Connie and I welcomed Boyce Jones and his 455-powered 65 GS and Dick Lackey with his 63 Riviera.  It was a very enjoyable day with lots of Buick talk, review of our cars, a parts car and a restoration in progress, as well as good food and drink.  Kevin brought commemorative wood plaques for us to document the event.  I got a red one to celebrate my Flame Red car!

Temperatures were in the 90s, but this group was too cool to be overheated by Mother Nature!  Sitting outside in the shade with a nice breeze, this bunch didn't head for the comfort of the A/C in the house until the dinner bell rang.

Thanks to all for joining and making it so enjoyable.  Until next year.....

 :cheers2:

Special thanks to Chuck and Connie for opening up their home and hoisting this years Get-Together.  It was great time to see friends and meet new ones.   
The Gilmore trip was very interesting and will provide memory's for all.
Here's a couple pixs from the museum and then there's the secret message on your parts car.
Weekends like this motivate me to spend more time on my project, I'm headed there now.

The Verde Green/Saddle car belongs to Bob Bowen.  Can't wait to get it acquainted with my Verde Green/White/White convertible next year!
