Just to let you all know my '70 Stage 1 took a Star Winner at this years Concours de Elegance at Lehigh University. This event took place on Sunday,June 19th and was run by the Burn Prevention Foundation and Lehigh University. The grounds of the university are spectacular and the cars that were represented on the show field were top notch. Anyone who has never attended this event is really missing out at a great event. Very well run show. The total amount of participants was in the vicinity of 250 cars starting from the "Brass Era" of the automobile to 1970 musclecars. I tell you,what a rush to be selected a winner and then drive to the podium to receive the award!!! Very cool! :TU:
Congratulations Carl! :TU: :beer Hard work does pay off! :Smarty: How does the scoring work? As in, a star award is what level of recognition?
Well Done Carl!!!!! A Bethlehem Star Award Is Great!!! Next Award, Gold At The Bpg Nationals!!! See You There Paul And Lynn
Great talking to you yesterday! Congratulations again, man you are amazing as is your car. :TU: :TU: See you at Danbury I hope. Again great job well deserved!! :Smarty: :beer :beer
Carl, that is way cool! Come to Buick RaceDay at Norwalk next year and I'll get you a real Shiek's hat!
Carl What Won The Class? I Can Not Find Resaults On The Web Site. The Local Tv Station Has Broadcast The Whole Event In The Past, Maybe Someone From The Area Can Let Us Know When It Will Be Aired. Paul
Paul, I know both of the cars in my class(my GS Stage 1 and a Dodge Challenger T/A) won a Star Winner award(out of roughly 20 cars) and the car that took the overall award for the class had a Chrysler 300H. I am sure someone has the results that was from that show. It would be very neat if there was a broadcast of the show and if there was a copy of it,I would like to buy and get a copy.
Mike Aulman Was Kind Enough To Send Me A Copy The Year We Were There. Check With Him Maybe He Will Be Able To Get You A Copy, If Not Let Me Know And I Will Check With Chuck Carish To See If They Sell Anything
Congrats Carl! :TU: Gotta watch out for those BPG Concours judges. They can be pretty tough. :jd: :jd: :jd: Good Job on your wins :beer Mark
Concours d'Elegance of the Eastern United States Good to see you and your car there, Congrats again Carl! I have a great picture of Carl sitting behind his car, that I tried to post here, was taken too big digitally to post here. He's minus the "shiek" look, but was grinin' and smiling while talking on his cell phone in the picture! I'll be sending some pics to you Carl. There was supposed to be 150 cars there, but a few (including that elusive Royal Bobcat) were missing. It's a nominated car show, and they are "judged" I would say merely as a "beauty pageant". No Duane's here checking codes, etc!! One of the Chrysler 300 number cars won "High Performance" class this year, as Carl said, and Carl's car won a "Bethlehem Star Award, which is presented to the 2 best cars in each "circle". Circles are groups (I believe by years) among the class. Buicks have done exceptionally well at this show in the past, Chris Jones' 1970 GSX, Paul & Lynn's 1970 convertible, My 1971 convertible and now Carl's 1970 have all taken awards at this show in year's past. The local TV station, Service Electric did film the show again this year, I have not found a schedule for viewing yet, although in flipping through channels on Sunday night, it came on @10pm, for 1 hour only, and only with the "main awards" presentation. I will continue to pursue a schedule or if there is an entire tape available of their filming of the show. Take care, Mike Aumann
Thank you everyone for the congratulations! I am very honored to have received this very prestigeous award. I am very proud to be part of the winners of this first class event. It was good to see and talk with you,Mike. Thank you for taking pictures of me and my car.
Special thanks to John Csordas I just want to post a special "Thank You" to John Csordas for allowing me the use of his open trailer to get my Stage 1 to the Concours meet. Thank you John! I really do appreciate it! :TU:
