Last weekend was the Frankenmuth Autofest in Frankenmuth, MI. They follow the Good Guys rules for model year, so up to 1987 on Friday and Saturday. The street party Friday night and the show on Super Sunday are open on model year. So the photos are mostly 1st and 2nd gen. a couple of 3rds, one 4th, and some old Pontiacs I liked.

I also saw this at a local mall...looks like an old KITT ride that is still going strong.

Almost done...









I think this is about the best looking LS intake I've seen.

Fresh off the mobile chassis dyno...




And I made it home to the garage just before rolling to 58k miles.

That is Curt's car.

Oh no kidding. I'd have stopped and said hello if I'd have known.

[MP81]

Yup! He's always out running around in that car on Woodward.

[DynoDave]

I was going to make the crack that I didn't recognize his car not on Woordward with a police car behind it, but I decided to take the high road.

Our car season is starting to wind down. Cooler temps, colors changing, leaves falling. But there's still a lot of good car related activities to enjoy.

One of the the last for the year for us is the Pontiac Oakland Club International (P.O.C.I) Chapter 16 Michigan Widetracker's Fall color tour and Poker Run. This was our third year in a row attending the tour, and it was quite enjoyable. We started with cider and donuts and a tour of the private collection of a club member (quite impressive), an 80 mile tour through some beautiful Michigan countryside, picking up cards along the way. We ended the tour at our sponsor Ex-Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealer for dinner and a club meeting.

Just a few pics of the collection we toured.









A person could spend a lot of time here, but it's time to get to our cars, and get this tour on the road.

A few close-ups of some of the fine cars in our tour this year.

Picking up our first pair of cards as we leave. Good looking GP in front of me. Sadly, he suffered some damage during the tour (the only car that did, thankfully), being hit by a flying branch from a tree trimming operation in the ditch next to the road. It destroyed his windshield, but did not go through, and mercifully did no other damage to paint, trim, top, etc. Scary though.

I like the blurred trees in this one.
