Danville, CA: Blackhawk Speaker Series - Jim Wangers 3/15
Looks like the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA will be hosting Jim Wangers on March 15th as part of their speaker series.
Quote:
Also a reminder for their 1st Sunday monthly Cars & Coffee event. There's been a pretty good variety cars at the last few I attended. There's usually 300-400 cars. Starts officially at 8am and goes until 10:30 or 11 but folks usually start showing up between 7 and 7:30. If you get there early enough they'll give you two free passes to the museum. Blackhawk Museum 3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle Danville, CA 94506

They don't charge admission on the mornings of C&C. Or at least they didn't the last time we were there. They say they will admit anybody that brings a car to the gig but they don't know who did and didn't when you walk through the doors. Really nice museum and the lecture series are great. Very informative. I'm going to try and make it just because there should be a few more Ponts show up than usual. Unfortunately I don't think my motor will be back in by then so I may have to bring something else.

Good meeting a couple of you, keep in touch. Did you manage to make it REFORMULATED? I didn't see a '70 Formula around but I might have missed it.

What a beautiful day for a gathering of enthusiasts. This was my first visit to the Blackhawk Museum...it is an absolute jewel!
The cars and display are spectacular. Here is an Italian bodied '63 T-Bird concept that was my favorite American car from the display. I love the roofline!
