...car. :rofl: Which reminds me - there is a U-code 71 New Yorker 2dr living about 30 min NW of me, on the way to Lafayette where the 2022 CATL stopped in. Met him about 10 years ago from the Yahoo C-body list (anybody remember that???). I've been meaning to check in with him, haven't...

Edited 9-18, to add a photo showing the three Illnoisian cars at the Clinton lake (yesterday, I posted quickly from my phone) — the L in CATL stands for « lake » after all. From left to right are @SGVert 's superb 1968 woodgrain convertible, @73 New Yorker 's shiny 1973 NYB, and Buttercup (my...

The CATL has started. Breakfast at the Old Route 66 restaurant in Dwight, IL.

Without a bright shirt or the Cicada, I'm sure you weren't the only one to not recognize him right away. Sorry we missed the CATL, but I'm glad at least one of our vehicles made it with Xenon.

So much so that, when I started the 2021 CATL two weeks ago, I did not immediately recognize @LocuMob on the parking lot as he was not wearing his trademark bright colors. Shame on me :( -- all the more so that he had made the loooong drive from Minnesota to Dwight, IL in order to complete...

Car looks great with the Magnums! The pinstripe really accents the lower moldings as well. Makes it look even longer than it is!

The 2022 CATL is now just two weeks away. @SGVert @sixpkrt @73 New Yorker @david hill @fury fan @71Polara383 @Mingo @ksc -- planning still to be there? The weather forecast, FWIW two weeks out, promises sunny weather and nice temps (75-80F depending on time of day and location). :thumbsup...

...miles, not bad for an untouched engine. Here are a couple of photos taken during this period. First is my Monaco on the night before the 2021 CATL Drive. There are plenty more pics of the car in the CATL thread. The CATL was three weeks ago. Yesterday, I drove Medina all the way to...

...driving that far south on Saturday, since they’re closed on Sunday. If passing through there on Sunday, maybe Michel can contact someone who works there meet us to let us in the gates. I hope there are a bunch of us going on this trip. It sounds like a really good choice for the 2023 CATL drive.

I made fun of him all weekend using phrases I'll leave him to reveal... or not... suffice it to say, I think Scott might have enjoyed working around me back in the shop days... his skin isn't thin and he understands direct speak.

Welcome. @cantflip knows what he’s talking about, so you’re lucky that he’s offering to help. Since you’re from Illinois, you and your husband may want to join the 2021 CATL in whole or (like some people do) in part. There will be at least 8 members and some of their friends in Crystal Lake.

Mark your calendars: the third CATL Drive (aka the 2021 Edition) is on! The first (2019) CATL ran from Rockford, IL to the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee and onto Racine, WI (for beers and car discussions with @70 Sport Suburban) in September 2019, with a stop on Lake Michigan's western shore...

As you know, I never enter a car into any concours — the only reason why I try to stay « correct » is for myself, not for anyone else. Indeed … I do look at my own car, and seeing a tidy period-correct engine bay is something I really enjoy. This said, driving is what it’s mostly about for me...

I’m still on for the event, but I’ll have to head home after lunch as there’s another family event I need to attend.

...that month. The car will likely attend a run that I will organize in the mid-Atlantic in the early fall. PS: The car I plan to take to the CATL (announcement coming soon, now that Volo is over; that'll be in mid-late September) is Buttercup. I may also bring Regina, conditional on a second...

By comparison, MB factory warranty in the mid 2000's allowed a qt every 600 miles BEFORE factory warranty would pay to address burning oil. In 71 that was good consumption and lots of folks checked the oil when refueling.

Another CATL event is in the books. Too bad @ayilar was called for work, and had to miss the annual driving tour, however Jeremy @furious70 did a great job navigating us through the route, and the selections on the choice of places to stop and back roads to drive on, both to and from St Louis...

Medina is ready to go on the CATL Drive tomorrow morning. Here she is, after I filled up her gas tank tonight and stopped for a bite afterwards. PS: I turned on the turn signal to show off the cornering light in action.

Thank you. That sounds like a great time, thanks for the invite. We have a pretty busy weekend but maybe we can join you next time.

I never answered the question about how far we go on Saturday - all the way to St. Louis is my thought. Stay down there, then work back on Sunday, stopping at the museums in Pontiac.
