    Fantastic news Marco!!!!!!!!

    Quick question, will there also be a car show for all other non Stage1 Buicks, just like there was at the 2009 show for all non GSX's?

    As long as there's a V in the VIN (assuming it's the 72 in your signature) you're good to go:beer

    Also, there is a separate show for all other cars not in the Stage1 show or concours class. Anyone can show their cars at these events.

    Rustyoldbuick,
    Having original engines is not a requirement, so you could certainly bring your car.

    Nick,
    Marco is looking for complete cars, with interiors, bodies, drivetrains, etc, so a chassis would not be allowed in. The cars don't have to be pretty but do have to be mostly complete.

    Maybe sign up as a vendor Nick and bring the chassis to show off your work but not to enter in the show?

    Wow!

    What a response so far. The details were announced yesterday. One year to go...and already we have 12 cars

    1969 - 2
    1970 - 4 (1 conv)
    1971 - 4 (1 conv)
    1972 - 1 (1 conv)
    1973 - 1

    This is going to be HUGE!

    Remember - please contact either Duane or me to get on the list so you are ensured a special license plate!

    Guys everyone needs to relax a little,
    Don't get all worked up about the Host Hotel not accepting any reservations yet, we (BPG Management) have already talked to the Hotel Manager and have booked the entire Hotel for next year's event.

    Until we meet with the Manager and establish the room rates no one will be able to book a room at the host hotel.

    Plus if anyone books their rooms at any of the other hotels prior to us negotiating room rates, they will not receive the event discount.

    Sometime later in the year we will contact the various Hotel managers, negotiate room rates, and then post the info on the various web sites.

    Until then what we need is for everyone to contact us that wants to bring their car to the reunion. That way we will know the approximate numbers of Commerative License plates to order, and it will let us know how many hotels we need to talk to.

    The more vehicles we get, the happier the Chamber of Commerce is, and the better leverage we have to get good room rates.

    just to add to what duane said, my wife made early reservations at the holiday inn express for the gsx reunion. when we checked out and got our bill we asked the clerk if the BPG discount was on the total, she said no because the reservations were made before the discount was announced. after a little negotiating we were given 30.00 dollars off our bill.
