2018 Pypes Exhaust / Max Performance American Musclecar & Truck Show June 29 & 30
 

Once again Pypes Exhaust & Max Performance are teaming up for another great car show on June 29th & 30th. This is our 8th annual show and we expect this show to be larger than past years. The reason why... the GTOAA Pontiac convention is being held a mere 13 miles from our facility... Our show is on the last day of the convention, June 30th.
We are having the same format as previous shows... Friday June 29th is our early-bird arrivals - people coming from afar just wanting to hang out with their Pontiac peers 'bench-racing', telling stories, meeting new friends, etc... Around 6pm, we are having our historical cruise around local towns bringing lots of noise and ruckus to the town-folk... the way it SHOULD be... After the cruise, we are ending up back at our facility for a free BBQ for all. On Saturday June 30th - SHOW DAY... the grounds will be filled with all kinds of American Muscle cars... actually 4 different shows... Besides an all Pontiac show, we host a Mustang show, an American Musclecar & truck show, and this year a Mopar show. We will have a pop vote award show giving out over 175 total awards. We're gonna have lots of food & refreshments to enjoy, a live band playing great rock & roll, close to 1000 cars to oogle over and great give-a-ways donated by our local vendors & dealers. Those prizes usually exceed $1500. The time this show starts is 8:30am and we should be finished by 4pm. Proceeds go to the ALS of Philadelphia. Check out our web site to register for the show. http://pypesexhaust.com/p-24066-carshow.html

Also happening at this show is the first ever... Pontiac Hall of Fame There is a Hall of Fame for Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Rock n Roll, etc... why not Pontiac... we deserve it..! The PPA Hall of Fame is an independent, non-profit educational institution dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the historical development of the Pontiac hobby and its impact on the industry by preserving the memory of those who have made outstanding contributions.
The Hall of Fame's mission is to preserve Pontiac's history, honor excellence within, and make a connection between the generations of people who enjoy classic cars. Induction into the PPA Hall of Fame is reserved for those who have made a significant impact on the Pontiac automobile as well as the hobby itself.

We will be displaying a spectacular display for all of our show participants to see. We will be announcing the names selected, then honoring them. We will be taking this display to the GTOAA convention dinner that evening and giving out the awards to the selected people and their families.

This is a once in a lifetime event you just can't miss..! See ya soon...

Gonna try my best to get there this year. I missed it last year, but have made a couple previous to that. Always a great show. For those that have not attended its def. worth it. Thanks to Pypes for putting it on. They will even be able to hear the Pypes roaring from my car.

Sounds like fun we'll see you there.

Don't forget to register early... It's a fun day... Lots of cars and people to see... great food too...

MrGTO69, I made to the show 2 yrs ago as a spectator. This year the car can make the trip from lower bucks county. With lots of rust as its a survivor type car right now or in progress. I
m planning on contacting other Pontiac owners and try to caravan out and up the TPK to Landsdale. Is there more than one entrance for the cars? I seem to remember cars coming in from the grass field, is that how we should enter?

Thanks Nocwalker

Hi nocwalker. The way we have the cars get into the show has stayed the same as all the years prior. Last year we had a minor change because of the rain... For dry weather, we have the cars go to the Hatfield Meats building and turn left, and make the next left up thru the small parking lot, around a barn and onto the grass. Last year we had all the Pontiac show cars and vendors make a left before going to the Hatfield Meats building and stay on the road. That actually worked well. Either way, you will see signs off the main road showing you which way to go... Just do me a favor and bring nice weather... I placed an order for it already...

Ok MR, Thanks. I plan on getting some other cars to parade up the pike on that Saturday. Hope theres a half dozen of us. Hey, is there reconition for worst looking car ? lol That might be us!! :) We will be the pretty much unmolested Goldenrod Yellow 69 firebird convertible. The wife has owned the car since 79 and just would not part with her. We're trying to bring her back.

I know theres a bunch of Pontiac guys up near the landsdale area. We're looking for someone to do body and paint, if you have any ideas can you pm me?

Thanks nocwalker

http://www.rstcustomauto.com/ Jim Clemens. He did work on mine.

If I can get my 69 FB to the show, I can show you what my body guy does... He treated me right. You'll see it with the rest of the employee cars there. Hopefully I'll have my 69 Grand prix there too... he did the body work on that car too... He's 2 towns over and does great work. Take care... Mike

Rich Mittman in Sellersville PA. Top Notch Auto Worx

He did my car quite a few years ago, and it still shows very very well. I wouldn’t let anyone else do my body and paint work on anything I own. Good luck. :). Click on my picture twice to blow it up more.

Jim Zeek, Thanks for the advise, I'll look em up.

Mike, Thanks man, see you at Pypes. I will have the 69 Bird, I'm not kidding that It will be the worst looking there. Hey, Make sure you look me up so we can talk. I need all the help I can get.

Hello Maryanne, I met you at Pypes 2 years ago, chatted for alittle while. about my wifes 69 vert. Thanks for the tip. Maybe see you there this year?

Thanks nocwalker, aka Bill V.

Anyone interested in splitting a Vendor spot on the grass? At $40.00 a spot with my junk I'd most likely end up owing money. I may consider a spot if someone would be interested in splitting the cost. PM if interested.

Just give you all an update on how the Pontiac Hall of Fame is going... A few weeks back, we sent out the initial e-mail for the committee members to vote, and recently we sent out a mass e-mail on the forums so the general public can vote. If any of you have not received this e-mail, please go to http://pontiacpreservationassociation.org/ and click on REGISTER. It's really easy to fill out... Name, E-mail & Subject to register. Once you finish, you will get 2 e-mails to click on... one for the Living nominees and one for the Deceased nominees. All you have to do is select 5 of each and you helped your pick get one step closer to getting elected. Please remember it's not a popularity contest... it's for who you think might deserve this honor that contributed to the Pontiac name and hobby. The top 2 or 3 are easy, but when you actually have to decide which others deserve the honor, it gets tougher to pick.

If there is anybody you like to write-in for next year, please do that in the comment section and enter his/her e-mail address. That'll help us reach out to that person too.

As far as who are the top 5 of each... you'll have to wait until our car show or at attend the GTOAA banquet awards. I have a feeling most people can figure out who the top vote getters will be for the living and deceased... We have a very special display that will be erected at our PYPES Car Show and at the GTOAA banquet awards. We have very special plaques that will be attached to this display and very special awards that will be given out to each person/family representative. I can't even tease you on the display yet... because I haven't even seen the display yet. One thing I can tease you on is that there is a really good chance of having a family member attend our car show and the GTOAA banquet ceremony whose completely responsible for our beloved cars... Hmmm... wonder who this can be..?????

Looking forward to the Pypes show…is anyone staying at the Holiday Inn

OK, we're registered, The yellow 69 bird will be there, stop and say hi

nocwalker

Registrations are starting to flood in... keep 'em coming..!!! NINE days left before the registration is taken down... Bring on the nice weather..!!!

By the way... the Pontiac Hall of Fame display is almost done. Think of a special unique display that you have seen for something special occasion as this... now multiply it 10 times larger... this is going to blow your doors off... I have not seen it in person yet, but the snippet pictures I've been getting are amazing!!!

I'm talking to the families of the deceased & living inductees to attend our show and have got several locked in.
As many of you know Jim Wangers can not attend because of his health, so I am working on getting one of his nephews to come. He was with Jim traveling the country test driving new cars back in the day. I spoke to him for about 20 minutes on Tuesday and he sounds just like Jim... Can't wait to meet him..!

As for the voting... I hope all of you got a chance to vote...
I can let the cat outta the bag on two winners... one living & one deceased inductee... Jim Wangers & John Delorean... as you might have suspected... I can't tell you anymore because it's a surprise... You gotta come to the show and see for yourself !

By the way... we are still having the cruise on Friday night and the free BBQ to all of the forum members. This year we are starting the cruise a bit early and stopping over a place to check out some really cool cars... Can't miss these cars... !

Yes Bill I’m registered weather permitting, we’ve had 4 weekends of rain May Into June so far. Let’s hope for a nice comfortable day. No rain, no 100 degree heat. :D:D

Can you get a swap meet space the day of the show

Yes Jim... no problem... Just follow the Pontiac registration signs and come in that way... $40.00 for a 20 x 20 spots

Is registration possible the day of the show? A lot of the times I dont know my schedule from day to day, let alone a week or so away. I have been several times without my car, now that its done I would really like to make the trip.

Absolutely... Seeya then...

I'm planning on going, but not 100% positive just yet. So I haven't preregistered.

I want to show off my new disc brakes and the run to be my distance trial before I head north to Massena, NY in August for my 50th High School Class Reunion. ;)

The pre-registration ends at 11:30 tonight. The unveiling of the Pontiac Hall of Fame display will be very exciting... We received it on Thursday and assembled it on Friday. It's larger than life... Picture this... a Huge Pontiac emblem and medallion standing almost 9 feet tall... I have some work to do tomorrow to finish it. Registrations are coming in for the last minuters... Thanks for pre-registering. It makes the wait in line less .

One thing while in line... please be patient with us... We have some new people helping out because we are VERY VERY VERY short handed... Until they get in a groove, it's gonna be a little discombobulated... a couple of the helpers is my wife and daughter.

We have Jim Wangers' nephew Tom Wangers to hang out along with Arnie Beswick and hopefully Milt Schornack. Milt had a heart attack last weekend and is OK, but needs to limit his activities a bit. I stink was inserted in one of his arterities and he is recovering. Along with the above mentioned walking around, Scott Tiemann should be here too.

Bring on the nice weather..! Seeya there...

Gary, what route will you be travelling? If we both get a chance to go maybe we can caravan.

You know I’m going to want that emblem, and will strap it on my 69s roof to get it. :D:D:D

Kerry, I run up 95 to 476 and then the Northeast Extension (still 476), and off at the Lansdale exit. Early in the morning it's the easiest and fastest way to go. Give me a call Thursday night.

If Milt is going to be there then I have to go. I need his signature on my 66's visor. I forgot to get it the last time I talked to him at the SVGTO show.

very good.

MrGTO69 and maryanne, we are bringing a support vehicle (my Truck) in case of problems and a place for my wife to find shelter from the heat. Where can we park the truck? My wife (69 bird owner) medical conditions have the heat affecting her sometimes and we may need to get her out of the heat at some point so, were is the best place we can park?

Thanks nocwalker, aka bill v

Hey Gary,,,,,,nice to see you again at the show today.....Terry & Bob from NJ

Great job Pypes team! Best Pontiac show in our area hands down. Thank you!

Jason Daubert 65 GTO
Terry Daubert 61 Catalina

Terry and Bob, it was great seeing you guys too. I hope you found some shade. I got home a 5:40pm and the temp on our thermometer under the carport in the sun was 110 degrees.

Overall this was a really good show this year. The number of cars there was amazing... that includes all the car makes in attendance. At least it didn't rain this year... tho we sure could use it.

Thanks to all involved it was a great time as usual! I really enjoyed driving in Friday eve, setting up the lawn chairs and drinking a few beers with some fellow car nuts. Saturday was awesome, lots of great Pontiacs and some nice Fords and Mopars also!

Thank you guys for putting this show on again.

My wife could not make it to the show since it was too hot for her with the medical conditions she has. The car belongs to her (69 bird), I told her about the joy I got from watching people get smiles on there faces and laughing at her car. I had set up a fender cover with some tools on it and a drop light hanging from the hood, she thought I was kidding with her about the smiles that it brought to many people. I also enjoyed talking to so many people and telling them the story of the car which my wife has owned since 1979. I had many questions from people about the car and enjoyed every minute. I hope I spoke to some of you guys on this site. I was also surprised to have so many vote for the car, I suppose it struck a cord and memories for them, I didn't see that coming.

Thanks again Pypes for a great show

Bill V 1969 Firebird conv. Goldenrod Yellow

Saw you & your car there - looked like you were having a good time talking with people.


In a sea of shinny, well kept/restored/preserved cars, yours was a breath of fresh air! :clap2:

Yea, I saw that yellow Bird with the tools on the fender, too. Cool twist on the typical display and very cool that it's your wife's car.

Another awesome Pypes show while it was blazing hot at least it didn’t rain and I was homered with the presidents award for the coupe. Thanks CCass and the rest of the pipes crew for a great day

Well deserved!

Congratulations Chris - your car turned out great and is without question deserving of that award. :clap2:

This show is always great but it’s even better with shenanigans

It was to hot for that this year.

Thank you Pypes/Max Performance, for putting on another great show. It was a nice little cruise from the Nationals, so we were able to attend both. Great time was had by all!! :)
