Just got back... Not the best meet, but I traveled with Jeff (Harko), got to meet Pascal (pontorquer) again... Roger (rabbit64cs), Dave (??), Mike (2+2 Double take) and his Dad (69 caprice).
I got a '41-'55 Pontiac parts manual and a '57 service manual. A hub cap for my '67 Chief, a new manual flywheel from a Ram Jet GM replacement engine, a set of 454 manifolds, 4 decent 225/60R16 tires and 2 15 X7 Pontiac Rallys with decent rubber, trim rings and 4 Grand Prix type centers.
Total investment..... $202. And found some more cars on the tour home.... 15 hour day living 2 hours from Regina. (4 hour round trip)
Good meeting you guys... again!
Met a guy with a '67 Beau and hopefully he joins to tell his story. Dave knew of him before I did....... He helped the guy out and maybe he will tell us more?

Yup! Come hell or......... no pun intended... high water! We have had a fair share of flooding here as well... Lots of roads gone under and washed out!!
When you come in to Wpg on #1, you will hit a light at Headingley. Continue 2 miles east to Red River Ex park, (I think it's the third light) turn left just before the Tim Horton's off #1. Stop in at Tim's, grab a coffee and proceed the next 500-600 feet north to the park. You are there!!!
Are you coming to Winnipeg the night before? If so, and if you don't mind a short boat ride (maybe not by then, not sure) you could come for a quick garage tour Sat evening. If I have road access, I will be loading for the swap meet.
Jerry should hopefully have his road back by then too. He will likely have only about 2-3 feet around his house at peak, we will likely have about 8 feet at peak.

All I know is how to get to the Perimeter road then east to Newfoundland!!! (lol) Ahh, I see it on the map.... I will have to get directions to yours and Jerry's house though!
I see Morris south on the 75... I will leave Saturday morning to give myself time to take a look around.... If I don't get lost in the Pembina triangle.........!

Yup, and now I'm off to bed, dreaming about a wagon.
Sure would have a fun time with a 427 4 speed "restored" wagon.
