I agree, all of the organizers did a great job.

Thanks John. We had a great time. We really enjoyed the tours and the car ran flawlessly. The trophy was a complete surprise.

Bill,

Sorry to hear you’re having car troubles. Your message sounds like you are not coming by some alternate means? We brought Jolie along with us this year so you two could get reacquainted. Maybe next time.

Peter,

The uncompressed seat cushion height is the same. The seat compressed down 5 inches or more when I sat on it. It now compresses no more than 2″. As a temporary test to see if decreasing the compressed height would help, I opened the bottom of the seat cushion and put a couple of 2″x6″ boards between the spring frame and the wood frame of the seat cushion. The 1 1/2″ pre-compression made a enough of an improvement that I went and talked to the upholstery shop. While I had the cushion open I noticed that the springs were quite rusty.

The first suggestion the upholstery guy made was to put the covers on a firm block of foam which I quickly vetoed. We discussed new, firmer springs and longer springs that would be partially compressed as well as putting blocking between the coils of the existing springs. The guy that did the work was not there when I picked the cushions up so I don’t know exactly what he did. The result was very good and changes the angle of my legs and makes it easier to operate the pedals.

Adding to what Stuart said, on our ’28 Series 36, I had an upholstery shop firm up the lower cushions. I am not sure exactly what they did, although new, firmer springs were discussed beforehand. It gives me about 3″ more sitting height which made a big difference in leg room. (I’m 6’4″”).

Tony,

Can you print e-mail attachments? I can attach the registration form as a pdf and send it to you.

Also, we tried to book an extra night at the YO before the meet and were told the hotel was full with another group. We had to make alternate arrangements.

I have to agree with both Tony and Greg. A LOT of Pierce-Arrows as well as other great cars. A few more photos from Monday’s tour.
