We had a good turn-out of parts 4-sale & customers.It's getting better every-year.A pat on the back for the organizers.I managed to sell a lot of "stuff" thats been
around my garage for years,more than I anticipated so I was pleased.I figure I'm not getting any younger & why hang on to the parts I will never use.
I liked all the cars that were there (even my own). The event was friendly and as Keven said a fairly good selection of parts especially considering the size of the event.
55 President Deluxe
64 Commander
66 Cruiser
37 Oldsmobile F37 4 Door
Thanks to all for coming.
Most people don't realize how many cars and parts there are in Ontario.
People also come for the usual great conversation, advice, knowledge & friendship.
Not you average, everyday car club.
Great pics, thanks for sharing!
Great little meet as always...tip of the hat to Paul. My count was an outstanding 17 Stude/Avantis and two Brand Xs, plus various modern trucks et cetera for hauling purchases to and from. I bought 13 framed Stude/Packard ads from Kevin...so he can no longer say I never buy stuff at Badenoch! (Actually I usually do pick up at least one or two things for the car there; this may be the first year I haven't.)
I'll be posting pix soon. There were two or three cars present I had never seen before...Dave W's '55 Commander HT, a lovely lichen-green '51 Starlight, and a really interesting red and white '54 Commander coupe riding high and mighty on a '68 Chevy chassis! I kinda wanted that one. Love those 53-4 C-bodies...

The 1962 Daytona with a 1964 Champ grill is an attention getter. I kinda like how the 'truck' grill looks in that car.
In the middle of MinneSTUDEa.
LOL. I also liked the 50s custom touches on that. Hood scoop, tailights, sky top, wheels, dingle balls, custom upholstery... If you're gonna do it, might as well get into character![]()

'Lookin' good, guys; thanks for the pics. BP
I forgot to acknowledge and thank Roland for helping me to set up and take down for the second year.
He is always helps out - for example, he put in lots of hours for the two years that we did the Canadian International Autoshow.
Thank you Roland!
Here are a few more pix from Badenoch...
Lovely stock '51 Champion Starlight
Very interesting '54 Commander coupe...rides a bit high because it's on a '68 Chevy chassis!
more shortly...

Finally met Dave Warren and saw his slick black '55 Commander hardtop "billboard"...
Another '55 is this spotless E7 pickup.

Great pics, Steve. That little $35 decal saved me lots (lol). Now if I had something on the rear that would keep people from almost hitting me. Twice, now, I've had to get out of the way of people not paying attention. Good to meet you.
