1956 Oldsmobile 98
1940 Buick Special Business Coupe
What an incredible night for a car show in Lombard! So many familiar cars and so many to explore. I spoke with a Pontiac Catalina owner who said ‘perfect weather’ and I said I’d like it a few degrees cooler before I’d call it perfect – sure nuff, by 7:00 it had cooled down! The band was L.T.D. and click here for YouTube videos of some of the songs they cover.
I saw many familiar cars and finally spoke with Geno about his immaculate, unrestored two tone ’56 Oldsmobile 98 and I met John who owns a gorgeous silver 1940 Buick Business Coupe. Finally I learned about these two cars.. Many regulars attended whose cars I’ve featured and want to cover:
