Evolution of Wheels IV
- Graham from the Museum met with us to discuss latest details about this year’s show.
- The museum is looking at celebrating the 100th anniversary of Buick, so owners of classic Buicks are encouraged to participate.
- It was suggested that we give the Buicks “feature car” status by parking up on the ridge.
- Some other details of the show include:
• Busker show - “Cow” guys
• Driveway shutdown
• Warehouse tour
• OPP participation (?)
• New cafeteria
• Restoration volunteer work
• On-site sanitation
• Show featured via possible hyperlink on Museum website
- Tim made an excellent suggestion to have the most popular car appear on next year’s trophy instead of our current logo.
- Trophy classes remain the same with participant’s choice/no classes/ Top 10/ People’s Choice
