Getting Closer

It's almost June. Looking for a good turn out this year we only had 2 Opels show up.

Who is planning to attend?

 

[Gary]

It is a fun show for Fathers Day. There usually is a great collection of German cars from amphicars to a Gull Wing Mercedes. Great location on the lawn of the museum. Admission fee includes admission to the museum. We really need to have a good Opel turnout so we do not get put into the "other" German category.

It's getting Closer...

The turnout is starting to look good for the New England Opel Club's annual event being held next Sunday from 10:00 to 3:00 at the Museum of Transportation in Brookline, MA. All German cars are welcome. Details and directions are on the MOT website www.mot.org I think the registration starts at 9:00 and judging closes around noon. Registration is $15 which includes museum admission

Tom D. from CT is bringing his GT and his new Manta. I'm bringing my Sportwagon and maybe the GT if I can get a driver. Wayne Torman is coming out of Opel retirement and bringing his 2 GT's. NHopel is getting away from the bikes in Laconia to stop by. Propel is in the Boston area now and may bring his 1.1 GT. 72gt is coming. So we should end up with at least 10 to 15 Opels.

There was a '70 GT for sale in Danbury last month (I have contact info) and another in the Hartford area. You never know who or what will show up in Brookline....

 

[Gary]

Great news Bob. I am bringing the wagon. Never got the chance to fix the GT fuel line problem. See you all tomorrow!

 

[Gary]

Gary - this will be my first trip to the show - is there any "swap meet" items or is that frowned upon? Weather looks good, can't wait, look forward to meeting you all.

Mostly display. Any parts swaps are usually from trunks.

I told them we expect 10 -15 Opels. All German cars are welcome. They do not need to be in top show condition.

Great time was had by all. 8 Opels entered. Quite a few members stopped by.
Lots of unique German cars including 2 gogomobiles.

First place - Wayne Torman's Purple '73 GT

Second place - My '75 Sportwagon

Third Place - Wayne's '72 Orange GT
