Eastern Regional POCI Meet

Last weekend was the Eastern Regional Pontiac Oakland Club International meet in Warwick, RI. India and I drove the coupe down in a caravan with Charlie & Rose's '37 and '48 Pontiacs. We made quite a parade; unfortunately it was all Interstate driving. A little hectic at times with the traffic, but we made it safely home and back with only a minor fan belt problem on Charlie's original, 38K 1937 4-dr sedan. I was amazed to find that the coupe got 17+ MPG running at an average speed of about 55 mph. Maybe that recent valve adjustment made the difference; it's by far my best mileage figure ever.

Here's a picture of the three cars:



I had tried organizing pre-1955 club members to get their cars out, but only six showed up, four of them from Maine and two from Rhode Island. This immaculately restored 1939 business coupe won both 1st place in Class B (the coupe took 2nd) and Best of Show. It's owned by Dave Thomson of N. Berwick, ME.



Dick Kisson's 1931 coupe, bought new by his aunt, took 3rd place.



Here's all of Class B (1926-1948):
