If Phil Guilbault is able to get a trailer, we may, for the first time ever have all the Yenko deuce colors together. There's an outside chance that may also happen with the four colors of the Gibb cars. The folks from the local chapter, Eastern Iowa, have worked hard to make this a fun event for everyone. We hope to see you there.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Having all 8 colors together will be a major event, (could've happened last year at SCR7, but this guy with the sunflower yellow car..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif) It is theorized that that all 8 colors were never together at Yenko SportsCars in '70. That is because of the spring colors going to Hurst, and no beige, dark green, or silver cars were in the second order. Alan recalls that Colonial Chev. had all 8 colors at one time, we'd love to have a pic of that!

Records show that Colonial was the only dealer to sell at least one Yenko Deuce in each color. Fencl Tufo was close with at least one in 6 colors - unless we find out later that they sold a silver and a blue.

I should be arriving Thursday evening with my '69.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Can I have it ?

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

What's the best day to go,if only one day was possible to attend?
I figure 3&1/2 hours on I-80 to 380,so I'm aiming for it.

Sure, why not? The "experts" say it is not worth much. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Planning to get there sometime Thurs. as well.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Rick-I plan on going as well. Maybe we can pool it. Friday real early, drive back afterwards?? Is there a swap meet at this evant?

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

There should be around 30 vendors, from Chevy ll only, and J&W to some mom & pop swapers.(not that kind of swapping).I checked with the owner of the red Gibb car today to see if it would be ready, but sounds like it won't be, so we won't get all the Gibb colors. It does sound like that could happen at the reunion though.
Hey, it wasn't just yellow last year. We were missin silver too.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Are both days comparable,or is one day heavier then the other in attendance/parts/cars?

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

If you can only make one day, I'd say Friday would be it.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Looking forward to the show, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif we are leaving Wednesday.

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

My bad, silver was missing as well https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif I can't wait to take a nice pic of all 8 colors - that will be a wall hanger for sure https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

I will be there with a FG deuce friday afternoon. Earl

I talked with the chapter president yesterday. He said there's around 150 cars registered. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

Wow! That's a good showing https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

152, I'm registering sometime Thurs. AM. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

I arrived this morning to 65 degree weather and rain. Good thing the show has not started yet. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

If you have to pick one day make it Friday.

I plan to have the Nova Research tent set up (if it gets here). Everyone is welcome to use it to get out of the sun or just a place to hang out. I will be out taking pictures most of the time.

I will be taking pictures of all of the 3rd gen cars (and other years as I get time), so if you have any special requests let me know. I know Tom Williams can get custom posters of your car. Let me know and I'll shoot the photos for it.

YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY;

Re: Nova Nationals Cedar Rapids
 

65 Degrees? It's around 98 degrees here today - bring on the cool front, uh, wait - that means I have to drive through it tomorrow, not fun https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

We can arrange the pic https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Sounds like there is going to be a big show in Cedar Rapids.My daughter Nancy, Bob and Nancy Lionberger (with their hauler) and I are planning to be there early Friday morning. I will be bringing my Fathom Blue 1968 COPO 9738 Gibb Nova to join the group. We know some of you only by your names on the internet, but we hope that we can meet many of you in person. If you see Wayne, please tell him that we are leaving here early Friday morning.

Hope to see you all soon. Helen Gibb https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Wish I was there to enjoy the fun and sun. Spoke to Wayne today and he said the turnout was good. Glad to see Helen is bringing the COPO car and with all those Deuces and other great cars it should be a super event. Hope everyone has a good time and safe travels.
