Welcome aboard the FGMCC boards, we hope you like what you see here and become a full fledged dues paying member of the club. rob

In 54 days and a wake-up our first members will start arriving in Carlisle for our 2024 Eastern Meet.

But whose car is it really

So banana-man, what did I ever do to you? rob

Yes I was. I am the Judge Of Elections at our polling place so I had to be up very early this morning. rob

The 55 Chevy was the first year of the Tri-five Chevrolet series. Fifty-Five, 55 and Double-Nickles all have the same meaning. That reminds me, we are now only 55 days and a wake-up away from our first members arriving in Carlisle to kick off our 2024 Eastern Meet. rob

Pennsylvania has stated the the state will start requiring the Summer Blend gas which will jump the prices here. rob

Scott, I have never heard that. I'm not sure what the difference in putting cruise control on an SS454 would make GM more liable than it would on a 350/402/400. It does not make any sense. rob

I found it....😇 rob

Is it possible there is only 56 days until some of our members start arriving in Carlisle for our Eastern Meet. Not only is it possible, it is absolutely true, only 56 days and a wake-up is where our countdown is until members start arriving in Carlisle. rob

those are neat, I had never seen them. rob

I apologize for not being clear. I was not intending for this post to be for kudo's being directed to the officers, admin's and moderators. It was only to point out how we don't see that kind of activity here. It is very hard for platforms like facebook to filter out those kind of people due to the large number of people using it. rob

While I would love to drive her across country I prefer to keep her as low of mileage as possible. rob

I don't know for sure on either of these but will answer from what my mind's eye may see... 1) I have never seen seat belt cups for the rear seat on any car. I would think since mostly children sit in the back seat it would be impossible to get kids to use them. Also, since I have never seen belt cups in the front on a bench seat car I would think the belt cups were only installed on a bucket seat car with a console as a storage place for them so they wouldn't slip between the bucket seat and the console. 2) As for the cruise control not being available on an SS. I have always heard this too but I have seen one SS with it. Like Aaron, I suspect it was dealer installed. I had always heard the issue was because of not sufficient due to the compressor. Something I wonder about also is since they both the load level system and the cruise control use vacuum to operate (not to mention the brake booster) the car could maybe not produce enough vacuum for everything to operate properly. rob

Well, we now know who is Member Number 75 but not just number 75..... We now have 76 members registered with me to attend. I have just added Tom Carter #75 and his sister Eileen Powers as #76, each bringing their own Monte. Saturday 8:55PM March 23rd I just added Member Number 77, Mike Mnich from Pennsylvania, his Monte sounds very interesting, looking forward to seeing it in Carlisle UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE Ryan Palmer has now registered with me and registered with the hotel. April 7, update...Member Kevin Low notified me he is coming to the Eastern Meet. He will be doing a room share with a member who already has a room. Since Kevin is sharing a room, we stlll have 1 room left in the club block of rooms at the Fairfield Inn and Suites. This brings the total number of members registered with me to a whopping 79 members. NEW UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE - April 21, update... I had heard from Terry Reynolds a few days ago. Awhile back he had told me he could not make it this year. He sent me an e-mail has now registered with me. Terry will not be able to be there the whole time but he is going to try to be there on Saturday. Terry usually only comes down for Saturday to hang with the club members. If I am not mistaken, John may have reserved the last room in our block at the host hotel. Don't worry if you would like to come but need a room. The Host Hotel is currently SOLD OUT but, I do have a backup hotel under contract for 15 rooms. Also I am working with the host hotel general Manager and they have told me if they get any cancellations outside of our block of rooms and we have someone who needs a room they will offer that cancelled room me for our group. With the registration of Terry Reynolds, we now have 81 members registered with me to attend the meet.
