The official route is out. Anyone familiar with Ft. Wayne area? Is there a spot along the posted route where we could watch the cars go by and maybe grill/picnic?

Planning on going to Ft. Wayne to watch the cars come in on Thursday and to join the group from Ft. Wayne to Norwalk on Friday. Easy route to follow. Once you are on Hwy 6 it is straight shot to Fremont. Hwy 6 is a two track with a lot of semi traffic. They use it to bypass the turnpike. You can ride behind one for miles till you get a chance to pass, but must do the speed limit or better. Can't think of a park along the way, but there are a lot of places where you can pull off and watch they go by.

Along the way might want to check out Snook"s Dream Cars, Bowling Green Ohio. !/4 mile off Hwy 6. First left after you cross under I-75 on
Hwy 6. Nice collection of cars and memorabilia. Not much Buick but still interesting.

If it works we should try to get a group picture of 64-66 cars in Ft. Wayne.

I'm planning to be there as well with the red 65 GS. Hoping for good weather and that the car endures its first road trip since she joined our family.
I agree it would be nice to figure out a place to meet and watch the cars arrive....

The parking lot for the coliseum is quite large. I would think that we should be able to park in the lot and watch the cars come in.
