Pro-Car at Pontiac Grand National

[Pat Caruso - Deceased 1966 - 2013]

In mid-July, I drove my family from Central NJ to attend the Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National in Overland Park, KS.

We planned stops along the way to ease the long drive - and our first over night stop was Charleston, WV. Imagine our surprise - and good fortune - to find out that Charleston was hosting the Pontiac/Oakland Club's International Meet the next morning.

So, for all my fellow pro-car enthusiasts, here is the ONLY procar in attendance at the 2010 Pontiac/Oakland Club International Meet....

I'm guessing it's a '57......how'd I do?

That car is beautiful, just beautiful. Pretty sure it's a 1957, is a Superior??

You are correct.

Do we know who owns this coach? Are they PCS members or do they know about us?

Jeremy,
Great questions. It was 105 degrees that day - and I was getting a little woozy from the heat - otherwise I would have photographed the windshield card, if I was thinking straight...

My guess...

Is that an Ohio plate on the back? This looks a lot like the car owned by H. Lee Hadley of New Matamoras, OH (brother of Past PCS President, John Hadley.) We saw this car at the 1991 PCS Meet in Marietta, OH, although it wasn't as nicely detailed then.

Yes, that is an Ohio Historical Vehicle plate on the back. Don't know how I missed that earlier.
