Another great group of true survivors, thank you Steve for putting this together, and to your crew for their efforts. Again my favorite area of the show.

It's strange what you fall in love with at this event. I fell in love with the '66 Tornado.

As did I Tim! That gorgeous green cloth interior just reeled me right in.

Steve,

We had a Great Experience with you and your entire judging panel and crew….You guys do a Great Job…..Joe’s 12xxx mile 1969 Hurst Olds stood Tall. We will certainly be back in 2025 with another outstanding example.

Hi Dan,

Very much appreciate your kind words. The 69 Hurst Olds was a phenomenal vehicle. Look forward to perhaps a Buick? Regardless we will have the expertise and look forward to seeing you and Joe.

Thanks,

Very honoured to have been part of the eval team on both the 66 Toronado and Joes 69 Hurst Olds. Both outstanding vehicles that make our work easier. Thanks to Kurt Karch, Mr 69 Hurst Olds memory bank who knows all the assembly line part numbers by heart.
As stated to Jean the NPD collection Custodian the build quality of the Toro was amazing, literally the closed Olds would come to Hand Assembled cars in Quality. The paint was as perfect as cars coming off the assembly line today with much improved painting processes.

----Toronado's rule! I loved one thing especially on the Toro that Paul pointed out to me. When you looked at the 2nd O in the Oldsmobile emblem on the front it appeared a bit bigger than the 1st. It was a GM alarm (I think). Am I correct, Paul?....Bill S

It may have been Mitch,... who told me that is the hood release??

[Canuck]

It was a hood lock using a regular door cylinder replacing the O in Oldsmobile. It was clearly something created by a very clever person using standard coat hanger wire to lock or unlock the hood.
