And a good looking bunch of guys too! Pictures to follow quite soon if you don't believe me. Just got home after a 6 hour drive with my 39 buick and two teenagers so I'll join in again once I regain my sanity!
Yes was a good day meeting all you guy's, now if I could only remember what you all looked like, well when the pictures are posted I will see who is who again picked up a set of plates for the old beast today, good condition , so that was good
I was the one that couldn't find you guys and had the white pontiac license plate. Then I finally found everyone 8 feet away from where I was standing. Oh boy.
Sounds like it was very succesful, sorry i couldn't be there but my brother's welfare was important, it will take him a long time to get over this one.
Ok we gotta name some guys here, 1st pic 50torpedo Bill, Elroy, Vern ( Kens Buddy from Laclabiche) ,Stew (my old 567 buddy who signed up today has a 66Gp, 65 chevelle 300 ragtop and many 56 chevies, engine builder from Red Deer) and Ken 66 grande guy, then 2nd pic Bill,Elroy, JMont 64 (Jerel and his son were there) and JC, Rick Ken's bro with the 65 409 Parisienne, Ken, Captain Beaumont Terry with the 67 SD 4gear car, and Dave 67 Curves with the 67 GP 396 4spd and 67 2+2 396 cars
We had 11 guys sign up and a couple newbies with Stew and Vern . Had to take a couple pics as the group kept moving out. It was great meeting everybody and having good old car chats too. Hey Mike where the heck were you ?
Hey, this is just typical.... Jmont Jerel hey thanks for finding me the Jenner Motors emblem ! That made my day , neat to see another Father -Son duo there having fun !!
more pics and we had 13guys total , sorry I missed I think its Warren from the Iron Indians Club in Calgary in the black jacket, and 67 Custom Gerry signed it last week as he was gone this weekend
You got it as far as I can remember! Vern and Rick are my brothers. Rick has the 65 409 car and Vern has a 56 Laurention 4 door hardtop so we are legitimate pontiac guys.(if there is such a thing)
Great job of organizing and documenting Elroy. I didn't get a lot a stuff at this meet other than a nice hood for my 38 Willys but I did more yakking than I ever have so it was a totally worthwhile trip for me. I also am very happy with my Buick. I basically pulled it out of a couiple of years of storage and took it for a 12 hour test run. Bit risky but it worked great!
Ditto. Wish I could have gotten out of Edm but had other commitments. Great looking group!

Ken thanks for the update on Vern, sorry I forgot some details, too many guys at once. Too bad I didn't get to see your Buick. Maybe Carl and the Manitobans can beat us out ?? Bill, I will call you this week and see if you are around ??
Ken, Bill, Stew, Warren, Rick,JC,Dave,Vern, Terry,and Jeryl Please correct me if I got the names wrong!
JC or John. I'm easy. I also didn't come home with anything. Except a BMX bike for my son. Probably should have left it there too. Oh well 5bucks. I was trying to deal on rear bumper for my Model A but the guy wouldn't budge and he wanted too much. Signing the banner and BS'n with the guys for a bit. Well worth the trip. Might even recruit a new member - my brother in law, Paul. Terry, I think you talked him into joining.

I just got home here a little after 10 from an enjoyable road trip. Abbotsford last weekend and Red Deer this weekend made for a couple fun weekends. I can also say it was fun to catch up with you guys and see the famous banner. My son did more buying than I did but I sure had fun snooping. Didn't realize how big it was so I could have allowed even more time for browsing. The BSing is the best part though. Hope to cross paths with you guys again some time.
