It would appear Jerel was there. Sure looks like his 64 convert with the Canadian Poncho shirt!

Did anyone happen to take a good look at the white/black top 66 Grande Parisenne 4 speed car?

Yes Jerel did make it.

I looked at the GP.
Without touching it (wheel wells etc.) It looked solid but tired.
Looks like rust showing around rear window trim.
GP stickers on front fenders.
Tough to say whether it's really in the 20k range now.
Looks good enough to get there eventually.

Could I give you a call about it? I'd like to ask a few more questions.

If so, you can PM me if you like. If not, no problem.

nice photos   thanks    loved the original black 66 427  lol

thx for posting the shots. Some very, very, very nice rides...

Good job on the pictures Ken. I had taken a few, mostly of tags but I think you got them all covered. I was too busy getting through to see all the cars. Was good to meet you at the end and also had a good visit again with Rick. Was well worth the 12 hours of driving to see a thousand or more cars you've never seen before. Also gives me more confidence in my car as I get closer to 4000 miles on it. I remember a comment Johan had made quite a few months ago how much better his car ran the more he drove it and man that's been the case for me too. It's actually quite weird because it doesn't make sense to me. It runs so much smoother and probably uses a third less gas and I haven't really done anything to it. Had sort of a neat story as I only knew 1 person at this show which was Rick. I got there fairly early and they had us lined up on the street before they were ready on the golf course. Two guys pulled in behind me, 1 with a 442 and the other with a Cuda rag. Talked quite awhile with the Cuda guy while the other guy went someplace else. When he came back he really looked familiar to me but couldn't place him. Anyhow 20 minutes later they have us parked on the course and they are right beside me and I get talking to him again. I seemed familiar to him too and I remembered who he worked for and I was right and then it twigged me our daughters had played soccer against each other about 6 years previous in Calgary and Kelowna and we had billetted his daughter when they were in Kelowna. Such a small world when with more than a thousand cars there he would be right next to me. Anyhow to me it just sort of added to the event.

   It was good to meet you as well Jerel, Its great to finally put a face to someone you may have only known thru the computor...
  I think the BelAir needs tires though, it ran Great, but had a shake around 70mph, although, around 110mph, it felt fine

Excellent pics!!! Wish I could have made it. Hopefully I can get the Acadian to High River next weekend.

I thought I saw all of the cars there so at least I know I didn't miss you. It was neat getting there early I just pulled up a chair and watched probably 6 - 7 hundred of the cars pull in. Hearing how they sound in alot of cases is better than just walking by and seeing them sitting. Lots of good rumbles.

most poncho guys probably did not notice the nice Merc beside the '57 race car...lol
It was a great show and I hope to have a wagon there for next year or so?

Hey, I keep hearing stories about that black Merc having some sort of forced air induction and that it can actually spin the tires.....

Can't be true stories cause it's not a Canadian Poncho!

 

Hey, at least you are still getting butter!!! I will be having dry bread after Dec 31st!!!

I'm jealous of anyone who got to that show. It sure looks like a great show. One of these years..........
