New Jersey Station wagon show

Well the show is now less than a week away. I'm smack in the middle of an engine swap in the cutlass and hope to be done middle of the week. If all goes well, see ya there guys. If not, I'm gonna be pissed.

 

See you all Friday night at the Outlets, I should get there between 3-4! MPJ

 

Sorry for such late notice guys, but I'm going to the cruise in tonight, (Tuesday). I'm saying the heck with the office, leaving momentarily, grabbing my Colony Park, (which I just waxed two weeks ago so it's looking good!), meeting up with my cousin and heading down to the Sonics. I'm not sure I'll make it by 5:30, but should be there definitely by 6. That'd be great if some of you could make it as well.
Not sure about Saturday yet.

 

Friday night at the Jackson Outlets

He folks, got to the Outs at 3:30 or so, I was the first wagon there, next was a 85 Reliant/Aries, by the end of the night we had almost 20 long roofs. I can't list them all, but among the crowd was, a 70 Ford LTD, 74 Montego, several mid 80's GM wagons, a Olds custom Cruiser, and a Olds Vista Cruiser, a nice showing of 90's GM wagons, a 65 Chevy, a 54 Chrysler Windsor wagon, a Matador waon, and my 69 T&C. I am sorry if I left anyone out. I alo had the pleasure of meeting Martin, a member here-with a 72 Plymouth wagon-that he did not get to bring. Martin was a very young (17) car enthusiast that was explaining wagon differences to his friends, wagons that were 30 years older than him!! It was a nice night and a good group of wagon owners, gald I was able to attend. Have fun today at the show!! MPJ

 

Great info, mpj! Too bad MarCar didn't bring Gramp's wagon...it's a beauty.

 

Thanks, but unfortunately gas for the wagon all the way to jackson and a high school budget don't mix. Hopefully I'll get to a show with it and you'll see it John.
Anyway, it was a good night, and it was fun. It was really nice to see that many wagons. I have pics, I'll try to post them later or tomorrow.

 

Well, unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men are oft laid asunder, as they say. I wasn't able to get out of the office Friday as early as I had hoped so I didn't get back to my house in Cranford, (where the Colony Park is), until 6. (Jackson's about 45 minutes away.) On my way, a friend of mine called and said she and her husband could go with me, so I stopped by to get them. Tom, (the husband), was on his way back from fishing with his son and didn't arrive until 7. By then, we figured it was really too late plus Sue, (the wife), and I had a few libations while we were waiting for Tom to get back. Thought it best to pass at that point.
Sorry guys. I was looking forward to meeting some of you.
