BTW...it WAS my fault. Justa teach you a coolant lesson. Class dismissed.

Ha! Joe and I were right! You do attract bad ju-ju!

When the Bird sat for a number of years needing an engine rebuild, the coolant turned to jelly. We had quite a discussion about coolant and it was the Water Wetter I mixed in. It lived up to label on the bottle and dropped the overall operating temp over 20 degrees. BUT, You can't mix red or green together (as we all know) or it turns to jello. Found it's the same with additives. The only time I've seen babyshit like that has been in the junkyard removing parts. Class.. Class... SHUTUP! Thank you. Now change your coolant.

Van Halen......While your at it, might as well jump.

Engine was flushed a few times according to the mechanic. Long term I will have to replace the radiator to get all the rust out.

Be a good time to flush the brake fluid as well. always overlooked.

Well by now you all know what a disaster the Dust Off was for me and Black Beauty. She decide to blow the water pump as I pulled into the car show. Ugh. My frustration grew when I learned that our patron dealership doesn't work on "classic cars". Seriously? It's a small block Chevy? How is that difficult?

I need this car working in a week for the POCI Convention. On Monday I found a place literally across the street that would look at and have it fixed by Friday. Good enough for me. I got some antifreeze and drove it across the street. They actually started working on it on Monday and it was fixed by Wedensday. Great.

So here is the rest of the Dust Off for you to enjoy.

This "Riveria" is actually a Pontiac Engineering study. It is marked as a 2+2, has a Poniac drivetrain and 8-lug wheels. I first saw this car 2 years ago at a show called the Troy Traffic Jam.

Don't see many 77-78 Formulas these days.

Indyman Joe and Dirty Girl were there!!!!! Justa and JustaG6 were off playing in Indy. Something about a grandson's wedding. I think he just wanted to give me his bad ju-ju....and it worked.

Okay, this car is a first for me. While this is a Pontiac-Oakland-Buick-Olds-GMC show, this is a first cousin. I know REO stands for Ransom E. Olds, founder of Oldsmobile. REO is most famous for trucks, but for a short time, they built cars. This is a 1936 REO Flying Cloud. Very cool and different.

A Canadian Parisienne with a Chevy Stovebolt straight six. This is different.

Dmitri Toth - talking - as usual

A Cadillac LaSalle! Wow!

The hood of this Oldsmobile was neat because of the plexiglass windows in it.

Joe and the Dirty Girl leaving the show! Thanks for coming Joe!

We had 93 cars in total at the show. That's pretty much it....except for one more thing.

The dealership employees moving Black Beauty at the end of the day to a parking place on the lot where I can leave it until I figured out what to do with her.

Fin.
