MCACN 2015
 

Ive never been, but planning on going this year. It seems like a great show anyone on here going?

Quite a few of us will be there - should be a good show.

Where you guys staying? Doubletree?

I'm at the Crowne Plaza

Embassy Suites across the street.

I've gone the last couple of years. It's a great show.

I'll be there on a Saturday.

I'll be there with my '72 GTO. It will be in "Vintage Certification".
We're staying at the Embassy Suites, they charge more but they offer free breakfast and an evening Happy Hour with free drinks and appetizers.

1st time for me. I'll be there on Friday.

We will be there with my buddies 71 455 HO Castilian Bronze GTO in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race section. If anyone from this site is going to be there please stop by and introduce yourself as we would love to meet you.

Jody Traylor

Will do.

After 11 months I finally received my Visa and Irene and I will live for at least 2 years in Milwaukee. We will move to our house in Menomonee Falls on Nov. 18th.
Although we need to decorate the house we might take the oppertunity to visit Chicago.
I'll tell Irene we will visit the IKEA too :)

Welcome to Wisconsin Gerrit! I am about 15 minutes North of The Falls. Best of luck with your move!

Not Pontiac related, but for those attending please look for the reveal of Phil Bonner's old Ford Thunderbolt 'Georgia Shaker'. It was recently found and has been painstakingly restored by my friend and Thunderbolt guru Donald Allen. The find and restoration has been featured in a series of articles in Old Car Weekly and a feature is due in the upcoming issue of Muscle Car Review.

I went by to see the car today and he is working on the final trim and interior and the car will be finished. It is already 'hand' lettered just as it was back in the 60's. It will blow you away! Not sure exactly went it will be revealed, but I'm sure it will be listed in the show program as it is one of the feature cars.

Yep...
 

I LOVE T-bolts!!! Not really a Ford guy but they got THAT one right!

This is a FANTASTIC show as I have been there several times. Formerly the Chevy/CorvetteFest, it changed a few years ago to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. I have seen some of the rarest musclecars on the planet there from some very private collections. I will be there with my completed 1967 GTO. Looking forward to meeting some more Forum members too!

John you live in a great neighborhood! Love all the 3 car garages in the background. I'll be sure to stop by and see you next week.

I'll be there

that's not how I understood it, but I've been wrong before

Have fun John!

Chevy Corvette Fest was a different show altogether.

Im going to miss this one unfortunately. In its fifth year, its the first one Ill miss.

There's usually a reception at the Doubletree Hilton at 6pm Friday evening and the bar there is rockin' pretty good after that. Gibson's steakhouse is attached to it if anybody wants to grab some cow. I'm up for making a reservation and having sup with a few Pontiac friends. My number is 709-690-6883 if anybody wants to text or call, I will be at that reception and sniffing around the bar before that. Follow your nose to the Woodford Reserve bourbon and that's me :)

Seriously though, call me. Just use starlightblack so I know what forum you're from...

My brother and I will be in the FAST display with my 67 GTO. Not a FAST car but the Pure Stock Drags were filled up. It is pretty fast though :)

Extra points for anybody driving though the winter storm that's predicted!

Hopefully not as bad as predicted, might have to rethink the 100+ mile drive tomorrow.

Hotel Room
 

Anyone needing a hotel room at the MCACN, I have one available at the DoubleTree, right across the street. Snow is changing my mind. Call 618 384 9604. "Bill"!

11" of snow on the ground in Lake County IL north of Chicago.
Zero snow downtown Chicago.
Just a little in Rosemont.
Looks like North and West of Chicago are the only problem areas.

Not sure where you read a dusting in Rosemont? Bad at 10am and worse at around 2 pm on balmoral so much ice and snow cars couldn't make it up hill. 294 south was unplowed and blizzard condition with multiple spin outs. Hard to believe the tollway was in business of road maintence...

Any pictures Mike?

I got word from a relative near there, right before the heavy snow hit. In Chicago "a dusting" is anything less than 6". We got 16-18" up in Lake county. Official total was 11" at O'Hare. Was all set to go, but roads were nearly impassible by the afternoon. Hope everyone got home OK

If any of you at the show happened to see "The Last Hemi Charger" on display by Apex Autosports, that's the same shop that restored my Judge...

Maybe its been posted elsewhere on this forum, but as I understand it from a super reliable source, the unfound 69 TA vert has been found and undergoing a restoration. This was the big word going around at the show this weekend.

Were you there? The buzz was hardly about that??

It was announced at the awards ceremony that the TA is being restored by Scott Tieman and will be at the 2016 show.

Good info Bill. I didn't know who was restoring it.

Yeah the buzz was more about how tight Courtney Hansen's pants were! :rolleyes: and... How Bill was going to get his car home!!

Painted on...

So could someone just post some damn pictures....?

We've argued about the weather, about what the "buzz" was about, and now about Courtney's pants. So far, not one damn picture....

I didn't go but a buddy did and here's the the few pictures he sent me.

BTW there is a big Pontiac section over there as well. (I hang out there a lot and have several "sister" threads to the ones I have here)

Thanks for the links!

Pants !
 

I accidentally took this photo on the first day during the first car unveiling :)

This was the talk I heard...

Lol, I actually met and talked to her and her husband in Auburn 2 years ago at the Auctions America event. She also had her baby girl there. An outstanding person and a real car girl.

We had drinks with her Saturday night in the hotel bar - Uncle Jeff was mesmerized! :pound:

In other news from the show....

Tim Dye's spectacular 70 Judge

Jim Carter's award winning Macho TURBO TA

A very patriotic Corvette

An equally rare Phase III

And a WHOLE BUNCH of them drop top Hemis!

I woulda guessed the buzz (or some buzz) was about that 69 RAIV Judge in the first pic posted in the thread

I saw her walk into the bar, before joining a table with three guys. so Chris, you musta joined after I left. Or maybe I just wasn't looking at you :-)

Besides being there for 'work', I have to say that am really glad to have gotten some chat time with a bunch of people I don't see in person nearly enough, as well as some folks I know and saw but didn't get to chat with.

Hope everyone had a great time and travels home went smoothly.

Have a meaningful Thanksgiving, guys.

You had a much better location this year compared to last I think. I went over to say high twice but you were in full presentation mode each time so I didn't want to interrupt.

Good show for you business wise?

Aye. We handed out hundreds of fliers and sold several following the show...good stuff.
