Re: Dayton Ohio Spring Meet Hotel Information

Hi Frank: Our reservations are made. I think you mean you will arrive on the 21st, not the 24th. The phone number for the central reservations didnt have the rate of $85 + tax, but had $99 + tax she made the reservation for me but told me to call direct to the hotel which I did and they changed the rate for me. We are looking forward to it. Will keep an eye out for future information.

Re: Dayton Ohio Spring Meet Hotel Information

Hi; Mike & Jack, et All,
Looks like I will be up there April 23rd. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Spring DURANT meet!!

I will bring some Locomobile information & Pictures, and hopefully can get help from the club members to help transfer a load of Locomobile parts from Jack C.'s trailer to mine!

Will also have a few Flint parts on board if anyone is interested in them? I could also bring a 27 STAR 6 Rad & Grille if someone is interested in it?

Looking forward to a great time up there after this very bad Winter, we all have been having! Amen.

Re: Dayton Ohio Spring Meet Hotel Information

Hello all,
I will be up there the night of 22 April, looking forward to meeting you-all and putting faces with names! I am bringing some Locomobile pictures and info. Also delivering a STAR 6 radiator.

Does anyone else need or Want anything? I have a pretty good 28 Durant Grille (poor plating)if anyone is interested and some FLINT parts. Also have a set of circa 29? Nash (wood wheel hubs, and hubcaps), and a mid 20s Maxwell Touring center section (with a very good complete Front seat)might fit a STAR? This (and more) came with my Locomobile parts, All not needed and very, very reasonable.

Lastly I have lots of 29 to 31 Chevy parts (and Comp. Roadster projects), a good rust free 34 Chevy 4Dr Std body (107" WB) and Tons of Flat Fender; 1947 to 51 JEEP CJ-2A/3A parts (you name it),also Military M-38 Jeep parts( M-38 Eng comp.& 24 volt stuff, and Misc Pts.). All very reasonable AND my Trailer is empty right now!

Again looking forward to seeing you-all!

Re: Dayton Ohio Spring Meet Hotel Information

Hi Lance.....

If you have a good radiator shell for a 26-27 Star or rear floor pan bring them along.

Also if you have any DVD's with info or pictures. Thursday night is "Movie Night" in the hospitality room.

I will be posting the agenda soon.

See you in Dayton.

Re: Dayton Ohio Spring Meet Hotel Information

Frank,
Hello, I will try to put some pictures on a DVD, not sure if I can in time. Most of these are copies from Web pictures, Ad prints, etc. I will try.

Sorry No Star floor section, and the STAR 6 part is sold already, just delivering it. But I think the Star 6 Rad was too big for your use anyway.

Actually only a few Durant Mtrs type parts mixed in with the Loco parts, and Tons of unknown stuff (i.e. 30 Chrysler Dash/Instruments, etc.). As I idenitfy it I will post with the club.
