I was at Spearfish SD in July for POCI's 2008 convention.  As in other years, there were only a few Canadian Pontiacs.  I was there with my 70 2+2 convertible, a gent from Saskatoon with a 55 or 56 4 dr Laurentian, and a gent from the USA with a 58 Parisienne convertible.  The 58 had been upgraded from it's 283 to a 348 tri-power.  I volunteered to be a judge this year in the "Points Judged" category, and assisted in judging the 58.  My knowledge of Canadian cars helped save him a point when the other judges were going to dock him for not having LOF glass.  That wasn't used on the Canadian cars until the mid 60's.  

As usual, I got white a few "What the $%+@ is that?" from the USA crowd when they saw the Chev engine under my hood.  There was a handful of other Canadian participants at the show, including as usual John Preikschat from Regina.  Unfortunately, Big John doesn't bring his fully loaded 70 2+2 454 hartop anymore.  I haven't seen the car since Red Wing in 2001, but it's definately seen better days.  Next years show is Dayton OH being held in conjuction with the GTOAA show.  That's closer for the folks in Ontario, and hope you take the opportunity to show the other Pontiac owners some of the intracies of our Canadian built cars.
