Automobile Heritage Day - National City

     
 

 

The August 7th, 2005 National City Automobile Heritage Days car show in Kimball Park was well attended with almost 300 cars on display. Buicks did well in the classes they were entered. Joseph Ambrose won 1st in the Classic Car category with his 1937 Buick Limited limousine shown below as it made the parade tour with another 70 cars prior to the car show.

Most Buicks were strewn around the show field in individual classes were they competed against other makes and models from the same era or condition. Some local BCA members on the field included Jill and Brian Palhegyi, Father Sweeney, and John Harris. There were also a few non-BCA Buicks scattered about. Pictures of the Buicks on the field can be found below.

In the Buick Riviera Class (the one Buick-only class), Dick Sweeney won 1st place with his 1965 Riviera Grand sport, Richard Vargas won 2nd place with 1965 Riviera, and Dusty Ward won 3rd place with his newly acquired 1965 Riviera. Ward also has a 1956 Buick 2 door Riviera. One dozen Riviera's ranging from the 1963 series to a 1972 boat tail were on display.


Next Years feature car for the National City Show will be Chrysler Town & Country, celebrating 65 continuous years for that model series with the Chrysler name badge. The15th Annual National City Automoble Heritage Days car show will be held on the 1st Sunday in August of 2006 and the 1st 10 entries from any car club will be admitted with out having to pay an entry fee.
