  Hi Everyone, I was at the BCA Buick Regional meet in PA Two weeks ago. We were in an area called Lehighton at the Ice Dams Park. A perfect place to have a show. The people & the show were great and the weather was overcast but no rain. The total number of Buick's was about 60 I took a few photos with my phone, I promised Loren I would post them so here they are... The White GS is mine.. The Blue wagon was a very rusty twisted junkyard salvage that that I restored with a Red, White & Blue theme for my BCA Chapter. I hand painted our website on both sides. Enjoy the photos.... Tony

Thanks for the pics Tony!
The blue '65 is a 3 speed now owned by John. He got it from Bob, also a board member. I like those wheels on it.

I thought about going to the show but spent the weekend working on my '66 GS vert. It's been a hot, wet summer and have to take advantage of decent work weather to get things accomplished.


There are 2 more shows in my area (eastern Pa) coming up:
The Vargo Dragway reunion on Nov 3, and the Riegelsville Fall Roll out on Nov 4.
