POCI 2026
 
I am considering going to the POCI meeting/show this summer - I think in Detroit. It’s the 100th anniversary of Pontiac and hoping it is something special.

I have a packed summer this year, one kid moving for an internship, one kid graduating high school and moving off to college, not missing Norwalk and gotta have a beach trip in there somewhere. Oh, and work to pay for all of it.

I need to make some choices on what to attend. I’m going to do one of these three: POCI, TA Nats or Pontiacs at Pigeon Forge. I have done the TA Nats several times and it is easy since my dad lives in Dayton. I have never done the Pigeon Forge show.

Does anyone have any info on the POCI convention? Events, how many cars, etc? I have been disappointed the last few I attended (to be honest it has been a while) and I am hoping they are in a better place as a club. I am still a member of POCI, just not active. I am not going to have time to hit all of the events this year so hoping that someone may have some input.

Mods, I am aware we have a National Event page but it doesn’t seem to get as much activity as the Lobby. If you feel it needs to be moved please do so.

Thanks in advance for any info anyone may be able to provide.

Basically it's going to be a week's worth of stuff.

I should be driving Model T's in Greenfield Village on Tuesday/Wednesday by then, and in the PTM on Fridays normally.

I'd look forward to your visit.

Pontiac is about 20 miles north of Detroit. There will be lots to do. Lots of automotive history around the metro Detroit area.

The Hotel is rite off Opdyke, if you go south and you merge rite into Woodward. We could get a big table up at Duggans one nigh on Woodward if anyone’s in.

Over by the Oakland County complex, north of the old abandoned Summit Place Mall.

Ahh ok thanks. Where the model show was.

Why did they put the swap way over off of Telegraph. Swaps are usually at the hotel, ( fiero show, gto NATS.)
So you got to go from the hotel, to the museum, to eliz lake and Telegraph for the show, where the tech line? Monroe?:oogle:
No one is going to do att that driving.

For those who will be doing the tour of Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village on Monday 6/22: I have made arrangements to be driving Model T's that day.

Please make sure to seek me out and introduce yourself if you are going for a ride during your visit.
