Volvos at the Syracuse Nationals?

Hello Alex:

I live in a nice suburb East of Syracuse and was at the Nationals last year. There were a few wild PV-544's there and some later model wagons. Looks as if there will be over 6,000 cars on display and this is a great recreation area with plenty to do if you get tired of looking at cars. I did see a great looking 122 wagon last year that a guy shoehorned a Chevy 283 shortblock into. I drove it and it was incredible, much faster than the 71 1800E I had that I dropped a buick aluminum block 215 into.

Remember the Sunbeam tiger? My 1800 was faster and a real corvette killer. Too bad some girl in a big Buick lost control on and autumn day and ran into me head on while I was waiting for a light to change.

Keep in mind most of the cars are hot rods. Any Volvo you see will be tricked out and have a V-8. NOt a place for purists.

If you plan to come up let me know and I can recommend very new and reasonable accomodations not more than a 15 minute drive from the NYS Fairgrounds where the event is being held.

Regards,

D,

Sorry I took so long to reply, this is the first time I checked for a reply in a few days. I will be at the show on Friday the 18th, and I cannot wait.

I should have been more specific in my original post, actually I would be glad to see ANY Volvo there, and it must have slipped my mind at the moment but I think the one Volvo I really want to see is a 262C. Fingers crossed!

So sorry about the 1800, but what can I say except it was a Volvo and probably because of that you're here today reading this. OK, so maybe that's a little dramatic, LOL.

PS - Thanks for the offer on accommadations - I'm staying with friends who live in the Binghamton area (they're the ones who invited me). Like I said though, thanks! ~~~~ Alex ~~~~~~~~~ '98 V70 Volvo Pride! ~~~~~~~~~
