150 or so photos from the Kirkland concours - some are better than others as I wasn't feeling 100% and oblivious people were straying in front of me. Also a few pics from an adjacent Porsche gathering.
...is having its fall meet this Sunday at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA this coming Sunday, September 28th. Hopefully the weather holds so I can take the Brougham out for its last show of the season.
I'm also looking forward to the Fall Carlisle Show the following weekend, and then Hershey the weekend after that. That will wrap-up the 2008 car show season for me.

Yeah, it's hard to believe the classic car show season is wrapping up already! Carlisle on the October 4th, Hershey on the 11th, a local show in Rockville, MD that I'm taking the LeMans to on the 18th, and then that's it.
The season seems like it really went by fast this year. But then, I think I say that every year.
Radnor Hunt Club Concours was a couple weekends back (pictures available), Carlisle is Friday, and Hershey is next Saturday. I'm also thinking about attending the Vargo Dragway show November 1st outside of Hatboro, PA.

****May 29-30-31--The 7th Annual Big Show--presented by DropJaw and Rockingham Dragway--Free Camping--Weekend Cruizin'--Weekend Fun Runs--Famous Nighttime Events--HUGE Draggin' Contest--HUGE Burnout Contest--magazine coverage by DropJaw Magazine, Mini Truckin', Street Trucks, Sport Truck and many online publications--800 rides last year--$40 registration (includes driver & passenger)-- www.dropjawmag.com/showcircuit/bigshow for more details!
I talked my buddy into putting his '78 Mark V in the show. At first he was reluctant, because there are so few old Lincolns. So I used the argument that they need him more than ever, he needs to represent!!
And it looks like the weather's going to be nice. Last time I checked it's supposed to be sunny and a high of 81. Nice change from last year, when I think it got up almost 100!
I was thinking of putting the Grand Marquis in it for the heck of it, but the entrance fee was $50! Why is the Ford show $50 compared to the others that are $30? Grbeck?
Well, the Mopar show is actually $40, same as the Ford show. The GM show is $30, because it's a much smaller show and they're still trying to "grow" it. However, there is a cutoff date, so many days before the show, where they raise the fee by $10, which puts the Ford and Mopar shows to $50, and the GM show to $40.
If you put two cars in the show, they do give you a break. For instance, in 2002-2005, I used to put both the Intrepid and the 5th Ave in the Mopar show. The second car was either $5 or $10 cheaper, I forget now.
I haven't figured out how this forum works yet. :confuse: So sorry for three posts that seem to be separated.
Anyhow, Admission price for spectators is $10 and it's a tax write off. Children 12 and under free. Any questions don't hesitate to email me at tvague@softininc.org Thank you for everyone's support in this incredible organization!
On what basis is the admission cost a tax write off?
SOFTIN is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. Admission, the car entries, vender spaces, silent auction and things bought from SOFTIN are tax write off's. It's all charitable donations which are all tax write off's.
I, (hopefully) will be at the Carlisle All-GM Show with my 1989 Cadillac Brougham...IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING!!! :mad: I'm afraid I'll have to bring it as it is as I can't get a chance to detail it.
For a quick detail after a rain, I use Meguiars Ultimate Detailer - it works very well with clearcoat paints, puts kind of a glaze on the car - and it only takes a few minutes. You could do it at the show once you arrive.
Maybe you should just drive the DTS if it will be nasty the day of the show. I don't take the fintail out in messy weather anymore either - it's too much of a pain to clean.
I just checked the weather for Carlisle, and they're calling for isolated T-storms on Friday and Sunday, and mostly sunny on Saturday. Highs in the upper 80's. Of course, this far out, it could change and for all we know an F-5 tornado could roll through by then.
I hope the weather holds out though, because I'm pretty much committed to bringing the Catalina at this point. I don't trust the LeMans that far. If it starts in the morning, it's good for the day. However, I have this vision of it getting me up there just fine on Friday, and behaving all day, only to refuse to start on Saturday morning. :mad:
I guess if the weather's too bad and I don't want to bring the Catalina out in it, I can always drive up in the Silverado. :P
Yeesh! I don't like driving the DTS in the rain either! Black looks AWESOME when the car is clean, but it is a royal PITA to keep that way. It's hard to wash as water spots form the second the sun hits them. It's hard to dry. You gotta be so careful as black scratches if you look at it the wrong way. It seems you have to wax a black car after every wash, because every spot you miss shows like a flashing neon sign. It takes me a very long time to clean the DTS, so much I think I'd rather pay to send it to a professional detailer than do it myself.
Maybe I can take my girlfriend's LaCrosse in lieu of the others, but she's afraid to drive any of my cars.
>It's hard to wash as water spots form the second the sun hits them. It's hard to dry.
Have you tried using Downy in your rinse water? Neighbor splashes Downy over his cars after washing. He puts a small amount of Downy in a 2-3 gallong bucket of water and splashes it over the car's flat areas. The water tends to sheet and run off rather than staying in spots due to the wax and then drying leaving minerals and dirt behind. Then it's easy to wipe the residual water away.
I can sympathize as I have a dark grey car. I have to wax it every couple months at the most, and use the spray detailer weekly - or the paint will get the swirl marks and "spiderwebs" as I call them on flat surfaces.. But it does a very good job at covering up those swirl marks. I'd recommend that maintenance on a black car too. It keeps the wax looking fresh.
SOFTIN Inc is a 501 c 3 non profit organization. The entree fee, spectator fee's, raffle tickets etc. are all donations, so they are all tax write off's because we are a 501 c 3. Everyone who enters their cars into this show receives a receipt with our tax I.D number and it's a tax write off.
well, I've got the Catalina about as ready as it'll ever be. Just washed it up and waxed it tonite. I'll vacuum it out tomorrow, and then throw that tire shine stuff on it once I get up on the fairgrounds. Here's a few pics I just took of it, before putting it to bed...
I've got extra oil, antifreeze, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid in the trunk. Plus, I'm going to take the battery out of the LeMans, plus bring along a charger, just to keep my paranoia at bay! :shades:
Your Pontiac looks good. I like the wheels; they look right. My idea of a good car at a show is that it's original and makes me think, "I remember seeing and liking cars like that when they were new." This one does that for me. Wide Track.
I just put a new alternator and battery in the Brougham along with adjusting the carb and a new fuel filter. I will also be bringing my cell phone along with all the other afformentioned stuff Andre will be bringing. If it rains, I will be bringing my black 2007 Cadillac DTS as an alternate. If things really get desperate - a blue 2005 Buick LaCrosse just so I can say I was there! Maybe I'll enter it in the burnout contest! "Wha..wha..what happened to my tires?" "Uh, nothing, honey, nothing."
I almost feel kinda bad for leaving the LeMans at home this time, since I took it to the last four GM shows (2005-2008). Almost feels like I'm cheating on it! It's also behaving better. Hasn't refused to start in awhile now. But I could just see it getting me up there just fine, only to refuse to start on Saturday morning. It'd be kind of cool to get both cars up for that show, but there's nobody down here that I'd really trust to drive one of my old cars. They're no big deal to me, since I drive them all the time, but the driving experience of something like a '67 Catalina or even a '76 LeMans is probably far enough removed from that of the typical modern car, that most drivers today would probably be a bit bewildered.
I actually thought about putting my '79 5th Ave in the burnout contest at the Mopar show, since its rear tires are crap anyway...just make sure I have spare tires and wheels in the trunk! But with my luck, I'd end up dropping the transmission or something. And while I only paid $900 for that car, I'd rather not do something stupid to it that turns it into junkyard fodder!
If you did kill your 5th Ave, you'd have an excuse to go after that primo example with only 4K miles on it somebody posted a few days back!
That 4K mile 5th Ave was nice, but I think I'd be afraid of a car that nice and that low mileage! If I ended up killing the transmission in my 5th Ave, I'd probably just get it rebuilt. It's simple enough that it's probably still less than $1000. Now the engine, that might be a different story. But then, if that engine did blow, that would give me a good excuse to put something a little hotter under the hood! :shades:
I assume you gents are heading off to Carlisle tomorrow? Dang, if it weren't three and a half hours (I'm probably an hour from lemko) and I didn't have kids....
I have to make one of those. Too bad the kids yawn at cars I try to point out.
2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring, 2014 Mazda 3 Sport Hatchback, 1999 Mazda Miata 2004 Toyota Camry LE, 1999.
I'm up at Carlisle right now. Got up here around 11:00 and hung out until the thunderstorms rolled in. My Catalina did what convertibles do best in the rain...it leaked! Oh, and the knob fell off of one of the window cranks...gotta love that GM quality. :P I'm hanging out at a nearby hotel now, and going back tomorrow morning. It's supposed to be a beautiful day, although pretty hot.
We tracked the Catalina's fuel economy coming up. Not too bad actually. 16.8 mpg over 118 miles of mostly highway. Going pretty much with the flow of traffic, around 65 mph. Not too bad for a 400 V-8 I guess.
Fezo, how far is Allentown from where you live? There's a car show we always hit the first Saturday in August out that way, in a town called Macungie. I registered the Catalina for that show. Unfortunately, cars have to be at least 25 years old for that show, so Lemko's Brougham has to wait another 5 years.
I ended up in the ER. I'd rather have been up checking out the leaky Catalina.
I checked out OK. Worried because of headache that could have been related to ministrokes from seven years ago. They weren't. Not a good way to spend your day.
I'm about 2-1/2 hours from Allentown. There's a maybe.....
2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring, 2014 Mazda 3 Sport Hatchback, 1999 Mazda Miata 2004 Toyota Camry LE, 1999.
Ouch!! Not a good way to spend the weekend, but I'm thankful you checked out okay!
I'm back home now, chilling out and trying not to think about going back to work tomorrow. We lucked out and didn't get much more in the way of rain, other than what hit us on Friday. There was just enough sprinkle on Saturday to make me put the top up on the show field. And coming back home today, we ran into a light drizzle. We put the top up at a rest stop when we got back into Maryland, but luckily it didn't rain hard enough to make the car start leaking any more.
Depending on how the weather is tomorrow, I might take the Catalina to work, so I can fill up again. I topped off just before coming back home, and I'm curious to see what kind of mileage it got coming back. While we were running back and forth to the hotel, going out to eat, driving around aimlessly, etc, I figure I got around 12.5 mpg, in a mix of local and highway. So again, not too horrible, for a car that size I guess.
I remember last year's Carlisle Mopar show getting a call from my girlfriend about my Dad having a similar problem. Fortunately, he quickly pulled through and I see no signs of any ill effects today.
Grbeck and I had a close call Saturday night on the way home from Carlisle. Some knucklehead in a Buick LaCrosse almost rear-ended the Brougham as we were about to merge onto another road close to his place. It's a tricky merge and you've got to pay attention.
No, it was not my girlfriend angry at me for leaving her home all day!
Other than that, the Brougham ran flawlessly averaging about 21 MPG for the 263-mile round trip.
Yeah, I remember that. I'm glad your Dad's doing fine now. Grbeck mentioned that close call. It was that spot where you get off 581 and onto 283 south, right? I hate that area...very little room to merge, and visibility isn't the greatest. I'm glad you guys are okay.
About the only incident we had was a few drops of rain coming back. Once we got back into Maryland, I pulled off at a rest stop and we put the top up. It didn't amount to much more than a light drizzle. At highway speeds, the air flow probably would have kept it out of the car if I left the top down!
I drove the Catalina to work today and filled up. I ended up going around 324 miles total, between driving up there and back, and various running around. Fuel economy came out to around 13.7. Not too hideous I guess. While I was impressed with that 16.8 I hit on the ride up, going back I took a scenic back route that took us over a mountain ridge. Probably not too good for the fuel economy! Plus, the flow of traffic going back was faster than coming up, which no doubt hurt.
sounds like a great time other than the near custom body job on the Brougham.
I ended up with much more good news than bad on that ER visit so I'll take it. I have all sorts of wacky health issues so the visit wasn't a huge surprise.
Don't worry that this is what happens to yo after 50. I've had issues all my life....
So when do we hit the real fun - when you start doing up the DeSoto?

So when do we hit the real fun - when you start doing up the DeSoto
Yeah, usually you have to go out west to see 57-59 Mopars since they were rust buckets just like the Fords of that era. But I still love those mid to late fiftes Virgil Exner Mopars and some of them still look real good like the Chrysler 300, Plymouth Fury and DeSoto Adventurer. How about a Chrysler trapezoidal 300 grill and DeSoto 3 vertical light tail? Don't forget the rear antennas!
Thanks Parm, glad you like it! And yeah, I'm feeling a lot less paranoid about driving it a long distance now. However, yesterday it scared me a bit. I drove it to work, and when it was time to leave, I turned the key, and just got a couple clicks, like you get from an almost-dead battery. Tried it again, and more clicking. Third time was a charm and it fired right up. I'm guessing it's probably just a loose connection in one of the battery cables?
I drove my '76 LeMans today, and so far, so good. Sometimes it'll get fidgety on the first start of the day. However, today it did just fine, and I hadn't started it since Sunday afternoon. I would have liked to have put both the Catalina and the LeMans in the GM show, but I didn't have a second driver. One of my friends went up with me, but he's not that knowledgeable about older cars. He's afraid of anything where you have to pump the gas pedal before starting it!
They had the class for the full-size Pontiacs and the 1961-81 Tempest/LeMans side by side, so it would've been kinda neat to see the cars on the show field, almost side by side! They had the GTO in a separate class, as well as the Grand Prix, so the Tempest/LeMans group was pretty sparse. A couple '66-67 models showed up, a 77.5 Can Am, and maybe couple '68-72's.
Never heard of that show before...is it very big? Unfortunately, this is the same weekend as the Mopar Nationals in Carlisle, otherwise I'd be tempted to look into it.
I'll be out that way in the beginning of August, for the car show at the Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie, PA. I have my '67 Catalina convertible registered, but if something happens to it, I have my '76 LeMans as a backup. And if that one gets cranky, I guess I can always fall back on my '79 5th Ave!
**Edit...I just googled the Deutsche Classic, and see it's all German cars. Seems kinda ironic to have it in Fleetwood! I wonder how Cadillac owners take to that! :P
I'm trying to post our flyer on SOFTIN's July 25th car show at the Earl Warren Show Grounds in Santa Barbara. 100% for Charity to help fund programs for the physically impaired, mentally impaired, victims of abuse, elderly and youth at risk.
