I went yesterday!  up at 5:30  left at 6:30 in pouring rain!   Drove up 21 to Port Elgin, arrived 8:00  I was a not pre- registered car, and was #491  I parked car, and cleaned it up.. I was impressed, with the organization of the event!.. I met some really nice folks.. It was the "first" big show, for the Strato Chief, and I was totally shocked, at the number of people, who stopped and looked!!!!!!  I was surprised, at the number of woman who stopped. They  lookED at the  back seat. It must have brought back memories?  I meet a man from Sudbury! who had driven down, a Beautifull 64 Custom Sport Pariesenne HT. I also met a very nice man , who owns my "next car" lol         How about a "Canadian built" RED 2 DOOR POST 4 speed rust free GTO... I also met a very nice guy, who knows Mark, and Hiliar? He was Roury(spelling?) He was from Brampton?  I met a man from Teeswater, who has a 66 Pariesenne, and has parts for sale, a 66 283 V8, and needs a chrome piece for his trunk.. I was very pleased I went! I left the New Brunswick plate on the front , and meet some people from N.B. and a lady who knew my cousin, who was a Cdn FIDDLE champ!  and last but not least. I had 2 (not 1)  but 2 people tell, for a fact, that you can not get a 427 Chevy motor in  66 Pontiac... they were POSITIVE!! LOL    Carl      my pictures are on photobucket under Wincy99

Sounds like a great show. I thought about going today until I did a mapquest- 3 hours each way. Maybe next year I'll do some pre-planning to attend.

Sounds good to me.

Excellent!!

I enjoyed meeting you.. I mentoned seeing you, and haven't heard from Mark and Hillar... I am glad you liked the Chief   I was real happy, at the response to it.. Its not a big dollar build, and yet people seemed to like it.. Everyone wants approval.    Thanks for your kindness   and lets see your car...

No, I was driving the beater Impala with the 6 speed. It will NOT be in a show anytime soon, unless I fix the 6" diameter rust hole in the front fender, and the peeling paint, and a few small dents, and.............
