anyone from here going on the hot rod power tour this year?

Yes, will make the trip again this year. 1994 Caprice Wagon pulling a teardrop trailer.
It' a adventure for sure.

Roger,
How about posting a photo of Wagon and Teardrop. Thanks.
Dick

I changed my photo to include the teardrop. Have not figured out how to post a picture yet.

I need to be in Detroit on thursday before Power Tour, have family to see there. Are you going?

Roger

hoping to get to detroit for thursday morning to go to the heritage center

OK, I'll look for you on Fri. and Sat. I'm going to Warren to check in early, then go to the Linkenfelter collection.
I will be camping out by the Proving Grounds.
Have a safe trip.

Roger

im hoping to do the heritage center liingenfelter collection, the henry ford new automotive exhibit, detroit gran prix ,maybe the r e olds museum and the model t heritage complex . if your interested in doing any of the museum admissons are 2 for 1 so we could split the cost

I may come out and see you guys off

if you have never attended it is quite a sight. if you wanna come over before there will be plenty to do

hey old guy i plan on hitting the corvette museum in bowling green on wed am then heading up 75 to ypsilanta for wed night and rolling onto detroit early thursday am. if we could hook up for any part would be cool

I plan on being there bright and early Saturday morning. At this point I'm not yet sure if I'm going with the wagon or my 79 malibu. depends on the weather.

The long range forcast is calling for rain, so if it's rain I'll be there with the wagon.

Pat

i probably wont hit the venue till the afternoon. i figure i will maybe check out the henry ford museum

Oldguy, Here's a writeup on how to post pictures from elsewhere in the forum. It should help you. The key is that they CAN NOT be loaded directly from your computer, they have to be stored online somewhere, like at Photobucket, then linked.

It IS a very cool place, went there last year after Woodward.
I hear the car exhibit is open now, was still in progress last year...enjoy

I've been, now time for pictures, should you see your wagon speak up

this next one is a facotry LT1 T56 test mule that was sold a few years back at Auction

non wagons and non gm wagons

Great pictures Pat. Thank you

I'll have to post my pics up when I get the chance. OldGuy, I talked to you for a short bit at the tour. I was the guy who said he had a box wagon. Definitely think I might have to run the Tour next summer if I have the time... it definitely seems like it would be an awesome experience.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you Pat! Someday Id like to do the Powertour too, awesome to see so many wagons there!

Yeah that's alot of wagons! I wonder how many of them know about this forum...
I didn't see Old Guy's or the Blue 59 from Florida either.

Looks like it'd be a great time to go do...

Great pictures of the Wagons from the Power Tour 2012. I just logged on this forum and noticed my 91 White Caprice Wagon. You got some good shots of it. Thanks. It was a great show. The 4th one we have attended. Alot of great rides there.

the one from Ohio?

Yes. We live North of Dayton. We could not miss the tour this year since it was so close. My wife and I went to the 1st two stops.

cool, I was in the green 95 pontiac wagon

I am not sure what a 95 Pontiac wagon looks like....Do you have pictures posted of it?

That is the 1st 95 Pontiac Wagon I have ever seen....Very nice! I am going to Woodward this year also...I try to go every couple years. Are you going?

that's cause nobody has ever seen one!

yeah I'll be at woodward

Just picture a ugly 95 caprice in your mind and thats exactly what it looks like!

Maybe as it gets closer I will hook up with you at Woodward so I can check out your wagon...I may not be taking mine though......I would like to have my 73 vette completed by then.

I'll be in my 79 malibu classic

Whats up with the RMW driver's rear door and sail panel, but the Caprice rear door and side glass on the passenger side? bizarre.

Then again, I saw both a Caprice sedan with a 91-94 rear quarter glass on the driver's side, and 95-96 rear quarter glass on the passenger side, as well as a Caprice with a small mirror on the driver's door and a big mirror on the passenger's on eBay today.

that was a factory test mule, even has facotry installed t56 behind the lt1, this wagon is one of one and was sold at auction back when gm had to sell off some of it's assets.

So they put different side profiles on the different sides of the car so that they could......see which looked better?

not exactly, they spun it out on the track and slapped the driver's side into a guard rail so they replaced the damaged area with roadmaster wagon bits. the owner found the paperwork about that in the car

Ahh. That makes much more sense.

someone's longroof in the official video from Hot Rod.... about 1:53

Sharp Ride - Color scheme looks insanely familiar

Thanks for taking pictures of my wagon! And 59 wagon man, enjoyed your '59 as well (enjoyed it 2006 too).
