Thanks for asking, Frosty. The show went very well. For the first time in many years there was no threat of rain so we gladly put up with the heat and humidity. 147 GM cars and trucks attended with about 10 flea market vendors. This is a “no awards” event with door prizes and of course food and a DJ. I will soon post pics on the Pontiac Car Show.

SO how did the show go 31pontiac?

Will do. I expect both Dimitri and Tim Dye to show up. I expect Tim or Penny to be hawking up the Pontiac Transportation Museum. I'm the official photographer for the event. So I will be all over the show field. JUSTA6. JUSTAG6 should be there. Sadly Notallthere and his wife will still be stuck in Canuckistan. Hopefully Indymanjoe will make an appearance and some of our new Michigan based members can attend as well!

Created an event for ya so it shows up in the calendar in our sidebar widgets:

Will do Frosty. Looking forward to pictures from your show also. If you see Dimitrie tell him I said hi.

Awesome. I'd love to be there but our POCI show is the following Saturday, on June 12th. Good look with your show. I hope you have a great turn out. 31Pontiac - you will take some awesome photos of the event for us won't you? Especially any GMCs you get.

Sorry, but this flier may be a little misleading. To be clear, you CAN register day of show.

Car show and flea market hosted by the Keystone State Chapter POCI. All years GM vehicles are welcome. Hope to see you there!

Yikes. Yeah, we are suppose to restart our local Friday night cruise next week. With MIchigan starting to rise again in COVID cases, I'm questioning that decision and beleive me I want to get out and do things as much as anyone else, especially cars. I just question if it is the right thing to do.

Any event right now, I would not want to host. Too much responsibility. Also being in FL where we just had 10k positive cases and I'm immune-compromised, I'm barely going out now.

I just received a personal email that the 2020 Charleston (WV) Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop has been cancelled for this year because of thie COVID-19 pandemic. This was a car show that I would not miss either. I had the privledge of meeting stratman for the first time last year, I've met up with GE there in the past and making a whole host of friends there too. According to their Facebook page, this is the list of obstacles the City of Charleston wanted them to over come in order to host the show. Bottom line it was not possible to satisfy all this criteria - especially in the few remaining weeks before the show. This show requires a full year to plan and produce. The show field extends for well over a mile along Kanawha Blvd, along the levy.

I've been to one Fall Hershey event myself back in the early 2000s. It was quite the swap meet. I remember reading the vendor locator guide, if you walked every row and aisle, you would cover over 60 miles! So much pre-WWII stuff. Not so much stuff after '59. It you can't find it at Hershey, it wasn't made! I see they've also re-scheduled / crammed most of the Carlisle events into nearly consecutive weeks from June to August too, hoping they don't have to cancel any of them. I wish them luck but I doubt they will be that lucky.

The Fall Hershey flea market held the first week of October has been cancelled for 2020. I haven’t missed this event since 1973. No decision has been made on the Saturday car show yet.

Sorry to hear that 31Pontiac. We are losing shows left and right here too.

Unfortunately, the “42nd Annual GM on Display” has been cancelled for this year due to the pandemic. We are still hoping to have our Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac show at Ebersole Buick-GMC, Lebanon, PA in September. I will post more details closer to the event.

As of now, this event has not been postponed. We are all hoping that the current state of affairs will be improved by then, but if the date does change or the show is canceled I will post it on here as soon as I know.

Is this still a go with the world going nuts? Or will it get postponed?

Sunday, May 31, 2020 at Macungie Memorial Park, Rt. 100, Macungie, PA. Registration from 9 AM to 12 noon. All years GM produced vehicles are welcome.

Thanks Ringo.

At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel! Hope that works out

I brought Lucy home last night. She drove well. I thought I was out of the woods. When I put her away, I looked at the passenger side floor board, it looked a tad wet. I can't be sure right now since it was so dark but I suspect I may have heater core damage. I will try to confirm that this weekend when I have time and daylight. If that's true, replacing it that will really suck. It also will mean I have to trash the carpet. Uggh. Sounds like a near interior and dash tear down. Also, I will have to (at a minimum) remove the inner passenger fender to access a pair of bolts to get the heater core out. Some say it is easier to remove the whole fender. Uggh again. I will keep you posted on what I find out this weekend. The good news is I am going to look a possible garage/work shop space tonight after work. It's a 30x50, so I could store a few cars in that sucker! I am excited this could be what I've been looking for.

Good to know on both accounts. I’ll be sure to pass that second tidbit on to stratman, he’s expected to be here by noon.

Damn that sucks....At least if you're going to have a failure it's better to be close to home rather than 500 miles away.....When the water pump belt came off it probably heated up quickly and you noticed it in a fairly short order.....Pontiac engines are pretty resilient and tough....So more than likely the engine will be OK...Once all the belts are reinstalled and properly aligned.....Enjoy the rest of your trip...... One other thing....If the Hatfields and the Mcoys decide to start feuding again while you're there....Align yourself with the Hatfields as they are distant cousins of Mrs. Two Lane.......
