Hello All OIC members!!!!!! I would like to inform you of an upcoming event in Massachusetts on Sunday July 11 (Yes it is the SAME weekend as the Chryslers at Carlisle Show) . The "33rd Annual Antique Auto Show and Trading Bee" sponsored by Clair Motors in conjunction with the" Baystate Antique Auto Club"of Massachusetts....... IMPERIALS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN LOCATION and will be judged as a group unto themselves. This show is one of the LARGEST in Massachusetts with over 500 cars per year , EVERYTHING from the Brass era up to 1975. There are usually 10 clubs from Cadillac to Volkswagen, including the Packard Club. This year marks a return to Endicott for the Northeast Imperial Owners Club after a 15 year abscence. The last time we were there we actually OUTDID the CADILLAC club!!! This is a great event with many vendors including Hemmings Motor News to name one. The Show is held "Rain or Shine" as much planning goes into it. There is also an area for Cars for Sale. For any and all OIC members in the New England and Northeast, this is one event not to miss!.......Won't you please consider attending this show, even for the sake of something "different"!! The N.E.I.O.C. is an equal oppurtunity organization (NON-PROFIT of course) and we don't require you to be a member of the club to attend and be with the "Group"( IMPERIALS not CADDYS). Come and meet "New"and "Old" aquaintances at the Show that 90% of the time is blessed with fine weather, and maybe even join N.E.I.O.C. The Deadline for Pre-Registration has passed by, but we NOW HAVE A SUFFICIENT number of IMPERIALS that will ensure a return allowed NEXT year. I actually expect a fairly strong turnout, maybe not as strong as the year we beat the Caddy club in 1988 with 21 IMPERIALS, but enuff for a good showing!!! Although Pre-Registration was to be in BY Saturday, June 26th, 2004, I have been assured that you will still be allowed to park with the IMPERIAL group as long as you GET THERE EARLY enough to beat the traffic, no later than 9:15 AM , and just say at the gate entrance that you are an IMPERIAL owner and want to be placed with the "IM" Class in the IMPERIAL Club area!! Cost at the gate day of show is $15.00 per car. Contact me at "imperialsrus@xxxxxxxxxxx" and I will either e- mail out the Show Flyer (with Directions to the show grounds) to you or if you request it, I can US Postal Mail you a flyer if you give me your mailing address.
