Wow! Pretty awesome gathering Dan.. Your garage looks awesome. Again, sorry I couldn't make it. You know, I had to help out Mom and then I had a little scheduled gathering of my own. Not sure if this guy drives a Chevelle. But he's pretty cool. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[rockn69]

Dan, what a great gathering and what great weather we had. My hats off to your family for their hard work and tasty home cooked food. I want to be the first to sign on for next year. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Rixls6]

Dan,
You and your family really know how to throw a party. Great people, great food and oh, great cars too.
Perfect weather, a trip to Lombard after to fill the bank lot with `69 Chevelles, and just all in all a beautiful day. Nice way to celebrate your birthday, huh?
Wish I could have had my post car running in time, but next year it'll be ready, as well as a few other guys cars. Maybe you'll have to rent a place for the growing group of cars.
Thanks for a fun time.

[SS427]

Dan,
What finer way to spend your Birthday. Awesome gathering of cars as well as the family (your daughter is so cute!) and your extended family that was present. Hard to beat those kinds of gatherings. Hopefully some day we can host a gathering like that as I will now have the room. Thanks for sharing! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[GenOne]

Looks like a great time and thanks for all the pics!

[mockingbird812]

Dan - what a terrific party you had. Your photos are wonderful. Boy, that was one target rich environment for he '69 'velle hardware! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif I like the gift you got too.......perfect! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Chris396]

That makes me miss my old '69 Chevelle SS. Prettiest year in my opinion.

[Lemans69]

Dan,
Thanks for the invite, you and your family did a great job hosting the party. I had a great time, especially the drive to and from Lombard! Can we do this every weekend? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[mrtimstik]

Looks like a great time. That garage looks a lot cleaner than the last time I saw it. Best wishes on your Birthday.

[Xplantdad]

Were there any Chevelles left in the Chi-town area? Wow...you guys sure do birthday parties up right! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[ssl78]

Dan, great party, great people, and great cars. The cruise to Lombard was a great end to the day. Thanks and can not wait until next year.

[Verne_Frantz]

I LOVE the idea Dan! Looked like a ton of fun. It made me think of having a '62 Chevy party here. Say HI to Jody for me. We spent some time at the NIA convention in Indy recently! He did a great job of handling the drags at the convention!

A mighty fine looking group there, Dan - both vehicles and people! Glad you had a great day http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

What could be better than a '69 Chevelle gathering! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thanks for sharing. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Bill Rose]

Just a hypothetical... Would a 69 ElCamino be an outcast at this party? How bout if it was orange..... or and L-78.....or maybe both?

[mockingbird812]

I wouldn't be surprised!

[Bill Rose]

That would be a blast Dan! Just wish it wasn't a thousand mile trip.

Actually Dan, if you think about it, ElCamino's are technically post cars, with the full window frame doors?

[wheelhop]

Post-trucks would be a better term for them Bill

[bashton]

Wow, what an awesome gathering! Thanks for the pics and it is great to hear you had fantastic weather too.

My hat is off to you and your family for hosting such a neat gathering.

One question; where was the AMC parking area?
