Be sure to let me know when you'll arrive. I get over there now and then. Hey, nothing like cruising the junkyard on Saturday just for kicks, ya know, just to keep an eye out for "Stuff".
Hey Tim! That would be great. My cell number is 406-861-1434. I always like to talk cars and a few other subjects. Please call! Dale
Dale in Billings, I missed this thread when it started, its good to see another Montana Buick nut!! That is a great looking 66, I had one with the same drive train including the dual 4's it is now in Omaha with another board member. Sometimes I miss that car. Next year I want to make some car shows down there in Billings, till I get the gears changed it is a trailer queen for the long hauls. If you could, would keep me posted on some dates. Tim which route are you taking to Hardin? Depending on your route you can come right through Malta. A little coffee and Buicks would be a nice break. And again :grin: welcome to another Montanan to the board. Thanks Rick
Hey Rick! I'll E-Mail you with some dates as soon as I get a new listing for next years shows. We have several throughout the year and it would be great to have a few more Buicks showing here. I hear Malta has a pretty good show too. I have thought about driving up there for one sometime. My wife is from the Glasgow area so we get through there once in awhile. I'll be chatting with you. Dale
I've been to alot of car shows in MT, and of all places saw more Buicks in CutBank last year than any other ever. Me, a 70 stage 1 4-speed, a 68 skylark, and a 56 with a 455 in it.
Not sure yet, doing the family convoy thing....I have to be back before some of the others so we have not set the route yet. Usually down through Milk River (more family), Shelby, Lavina...roads are pretty clear and certianly nice. later Tim
Adam I met the guy with the 70 Stage1 this summer in Great Falls at 2 different shows, nice car. He told me about the show at Cutbank sounded like a large time. I wanted to go but funds, time and an oil leak stopped us. Not sure which one happened first. Oh well theres always next year, should be somewhat recuporated from the restoration costs. Next year I'd like to get to Billings maybe on a race weekend. Will be in GreatFalls at least 2 or 3 times. One in Great Falls is an indoor one. Hopefully can get to Cutbank it sounds like a full weekend of stuff. Tim sound like you'll be taking the highroad instead of the lowroad. If any of you guys get through this neck of the woods holler. Thanks Rick
Nice cars Adam! If someone will let me know when the car show is in Cutbank, I'd love to get up there. I even have relation there so the wife won't mind either. I'll keep you guys posted on the shows here in Billings and also when there is a big race weekend. They have races every weekend but some are a little bigger than others. Can't wait to see your cars!
It was the weekend of 8/21 last year. It is at the airport in conjunction with an air show. They have 1/8 mile drags on one of the runways. It was a small-town blast!
Dale I live in Billings. The old man with the S10 Grand Sport Stage1. Send me an E mail if you want to get togather. Jacobson@wtp.net Nice car RonJ.
Adam-- Do you remember if the 68 Skylark owner was Loren Weikum from Brady? I just got this out of long term storage today and washed it----December 19???---something crazy going on with this weather. Dan
I can't remember the guy's name. I think he was from Kalispell. A red-headed guy that looked kind of like a grown-up Opie Taylor. He was a real nice guy. he was also racing a Hemi-Roadrunner race-car that he worked on for its owner. It had no interior, lexan windows, open headers, the whole nine yards. I only lost to him by a car-length with my Hoosier QT tires in the Skylark. Of course I had a small amount of help from the blue-bottle. Bigger jets installed and he would have been toast! Is that the 67 you painted years ago? Looks good!
Painted in California. Stop over and take a peak if you're back in Helena. Sounds like you will beat that guy next year with your Skylark. The 68 looks just like Loren's car; I've got the road wheels from it on my 70 Stage 1. Dan
Welcome Dale, Just saw your post but welcome from another '66 GS post coupe owner! Sounds like our cars are very similar except for color and transmission... Hope you can post some additional pictures soon. Looking forward to seeing them. Steve
Welcome to the board I am in Alberta just north of you and let me know as well when some car shows are on I will try to bring my 64 Pro touring car dwon I need to put some miles on it Arn't Buick's great!!!! Ken K
Ken where is Alberta located? My geography skills of Canada really stink. I onlyl live about 45 miles from the border and have only been there maybe 6 times. There seems to be more Buicks than I thought around here, We have a show here sometime in June can't remember the exact date. They have been giving 200.00 to the car club with the most cars present. Theres a guy that has a bunch of Mopars that he brings from Great Falls and a bunch of his followers bring theres they end up having about 10 to 12 cars and they park all together. Man it would be way cool to put together a bunch of Buicks to show everybody what real muscle looks like. Its about a 200 mile drive for everbody thats here so far. Well better go shovel we got dumped on this morning, what a way to spend my week off, plumping and shoveling. Thanks Rick
I am in Calgary about 250-300 miles north of you and I think it would be cool to bring down a few of my Buick buddies or even a few of my own cars to the show all i need is about 5 drivers and a donation for gas from my boss heheheh :Brow: let me know when you are doing the show I will try to be there for sure and I will bring down some more Buicks if i can Ken :3gears:
Ken I do know where Calgary is thats one of the few places I have visited. In the next few weeks I am going to be talking to the guy that is the organizor for the show to see what the plan is. Then I will let you all know whats up for here. Thanks Rick
Rick - Be sure and let me know when the date of the show. I'll try and make it and get some Buick guys from around here to take a road trip. Ken - I would love to see you and some Buick nuts there too. We could have a blast showing people the Fast With Class cars. I've been shoveling a little here too Rick and I haven't had much time to check the board but it tis the season. I'm ready for some nice weather and a little cruisin.
