Reply #24 - Jul 21^st, 2010, 5:53am Plans are to drive to Jewell Friday night...I was planning on just taking the Electra, but if there are folks who need a ride, I could take the wagon as well since judging will be over. MrEarl, if you and Bob don't want to drive the Landau up, you'd be welcome to hop in the Estate Wagon.

You otter stay a night, but we'll take a few hours!
My cell is 303-868-2748. Anyone going give me a yell. I'll be in Tuesday, drop the car and then I go visiting. I'll be in Ames Thurs, fri, sat- the banquet is kinda fun sat nite but the food will probably suck.

Friday nite we might want to consider doing a forum cruise- sound like fun?

the last 1% is the hardest part, and time always runs out. There is also a difference between a gold and a senior. Judging is a pain, but a neccessary part of the hobby. Pick up my flatbed today. The crappy used ones go for $1500, you can buy a new one for 2500- and not have screwwed up wiring and worn ourt tires.

For yourself, just because you drive it doesn't mean you can't get a senior. Lots of seniors are driven to the event. I was going to do the driver class last year because I thought powder coat would not be acceptable. You are light years ahead of where I was, got a silver. But I had some huge deviations, and I still likey would have missed the senior (hindsight is 20/20). On the up side, my car is a judged #1, but being close just created another year of agrivation wanting to complete the process. Then things happen, you scratch some stainless- do I take it off and re-polish? Got real lucy, not a paint chip anywhere or paint scratch and I drive it to Denver area shows. Since the car is still "fresh", I'll trailer it, but don't think I wouldn't drive it. I think they even allow for damage in transit in the judging.

Once I do get a senior-(be it this year or someday) I can scratch that off the bucket list and you will see me in the driver class. Too much aggrivation, but I do think Bob should go for a senior on his down the road. He has the patience!

So you all show up to Iowa... I was in CoSprings last year and not a single '54 was there, though some very nice '55s showed up.

D'oh! We were there with the Wildcat. I don't believe we managed to get ourselves introduced, which is a shame. Some other time I guess.

There were indeed some nice '55s...I know at least a couple of them were Seniors / Preservation.

Not this year for me, darn it, too many other irons in the fire.

Eventually, I will get a '54 to one of the shows... They are meant for highway driving, after all. Just be sure you pack tools, a fuel pump, a water pump and an alternator, and have a rebuilt generator with a neighbor ready to be mailed to you if necessary...

Have fun without me, you lucky bastards,
