Today we enjoyed an interesting and fun day with classic cars in Auburn, Indiana. Got to spend time with some of our 65 GS family and enjoy a bunch of beautiful classics. Those shown by the Antique Automobile Club of America group were top notch and we also got to experience other beauties going across the block at an RM Auction on site.
Our own Brian Stone and Mark Ascher showed cars and had them judged by the AACA. Brian showed his 66 Skylark hardtop that had belonged to his grandfather. Mark showed his pristine 65 Skylark GS hardtop. Both had participated in previous AACA events and had won both Junior and Senior awards for their cars. Brian had also previously won the Preservation Award. Today they were vying for their first Grand National awards, the next step in the award progression of the AACA.
And both were successful! Brian won the Grand National Award and a repeat Preservation Award. Mark also won the Grand National Award and his first Preservation Award.
Our 65 GS family was well represented at the meet. In addition to Brian and Mark, other "family members" in attendance included Brian's wife Hollie, Mark's brother Mike, John Evenson, Bob Bowen, and myself. Mark's friend Frank and my friend Joel also joined in.
Congratulations Brian and Mark! And kudos for sharing our favorite Skylarks with another appreciative classic car group!
A few pictures are below. I imagine Brian and/or Mark might want to add more when time allows.

Thanks for the writing this thread Chuck! I will add that there were 386 cars registered for the show and over 700 people at the bbq dinner/awards presentation after the show! It was a record attendance for the Annual Grand National Meet. It was truly great to see everyone from the 65GS family at the show.

Chuck,
Thanks for posting and thanks all for all the nice comments. Had a great time in Auburn with everyone. I would post a few pics, but the iPhone saves images as JPEG not jpg and since retiring I no longer have a laptop with all the graphics software I?m used to. I?ll post a few when there is a solution.

Tedious process but resize photo to fit here then use JPEG to PNG app to convert.
Let’s see some pictures Mark.

Dear Mark, Dan,
I would post a few pics, but the iPhone saves images as JPEG not jpg and since retiring I no longer have a laptop with all the graphics software I?m used to. I?ll post a few when there is a solution.
It might not be the best way, but I posted one way to convert iPhone/iPad photos so that they could be posted on 65GS.com. Here is the link:

It isn't extremely fast, but it isn't too tedious.
Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:
