Roll call to all the members whom are interested in getting together at MCACN.....

The show is Nov 17th and 18th.....Me and Mario are trying to get a tally of whom is able to meet.....

Drop a line here and I will include you in a private thread in which we will relay the specifics.

It is rare that we are able to get together outside of the forum and this would be a great opportunity to hang out and enjoy some good eats....

Justin

Ima tryin!!!!!

Yep, remember the red, white and blue. I'm thinking the dealerships removed them on the new vehicle's first oil change, still being under warranty and promotional sales, ect. that would have brought them back in the beginning.

I was mostly in the small time garages. 1974 I was at a Lincoln Mercury dealership. 1978-1980 I was working for a Dodge dealership.

Good luck on the show! Looking foward to the updates

KK, you’re showing your age; I don’t remember any free oil changes back then at dealerships. Warranty wasn’t too great either!

For those who are attending please take lots of photos and/or videos for those of us who are not able to attend can get a feel for the moment and to give Justin some additional memories of the event too as well cause I'm sure it will be a bit of a whirlwind for him.

Excited for you Justin! Enjoy it!

 

[The Rebel]

Congrats Justin! It's come full circle from post#1. Your Dad & family are blessed to have you. You've helped me enormously with my little projects by your devotion & attention to detail. While I can't be there in person I will be there in spirit with the Mopar Brotherhood.

I got the following response from the Convention Center on parking.

Hello Tim,



Yes, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center has parking on site. The parking garage is located at 9500 William St. The garage is located across the street from the convention center, between the DoubleTree and Embassy Suites Hotels. Our parking rate is $15.00 for a 24 hour period, no in and out privileges. The parking garage is open 24 hours a day, anytime you arrive is ok.



I hope this helps.



Thank you,

Humberto Perez
