Those two 66's are owned by Jody Schmeisser a friend and an avid collector of 66 Impalas. He also owns the twin black ones from last years Vettefest.

Well it was a great day at Vettfest, the best one I've ever been to. Saw all of my friends today...Dan Vasic, Darren Costello, Ken Tibor, John Plantania and last but not least Steve Bimbi. There were plenty of beautiful cars and some very nice displays but I'd have to say that again this year my friend Jody Schmeisser's display was numero uno! Jody really puts alot of thought into making his display and it definately shows....you be the judge. This year he brought a 1966 427 390 horse Caprice which he just finished a frame off restoration on, and a beautiful 1966 marina blue 427 425 horse SS Impala. Here are the pics....

Awesome car.. Wouldn't trim rings be standard/mandatory with the SS package, or did they not come standard on the "cheapie" SS post cars?

[Postsedan]

Joe,

Standard SS package did incluce the trim rings, however the original owner chose not to have them. If one could order -- paint, then asking to not install trim rings on any car...would be a no brainer.... JMO.

[m22mike]

Most likely there was a small credit for deleteing the trim rings ??

Were the rings even installed on the SS wheels from the factory, or were they tossed in the car for the dealer to install? Might have just been a matter of telling the dealer "Hey, I don't want trim rings on it" rather than actually ordering anything special from GM. I love frost green btw!

If you are talking about the one in the Nickey Display....It's a 8,000 Mile original car that Stefano has for Sale for $65,000

[ORIGLS6]

My trim rings came stacked in the trunk with brown waffle paper between them. When my car came in, I asked Herb Fox to do NOTHING to the car as far as clean-up. They did the dealer inspection but left the trim rings in the trunk and the window sticker in place. They did, however, polish it and put it in the showroom for a couple of days before I had a chance to get there for the pick up.

Mike....I tend to agree with you....none of us were obviously there in 1968 (except for Mr Cumby)...but, your explanation would have been the right thing to do.

Dennis....you were luckily enough to have lived in.... what we only dream about. Your explanation makes perfect sense. Perhaps this was standard procedure back in the day.

When Benny and Sam arrived to the show they were not happy campers, due to a small mishap with a nut that somehow loosened off the shifter....a normal occurance a Muncie Shifter. Got to use Lock-Tight... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

A huge thanks to Bob Ashton and crew for the great show this year, easily the best to date. Someone at the show mentioned to me in a conversation what a great show it was and what great cars that were there. I looked around and said, "oh yeah, there are cars here". The people are still the reason I come to these shows. Some of the best people and friends anyone could find and a reunion of sorts every year. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I need to thank Don and Rick from NOS Restoratons for getting my Chevelle ready for it's first judged show. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gifNo gold spinner award without their attention to detail.

As a special someone pointed out so clearly, I will be sporting a new shifter, floor mats and a few other new things next time you guys see her. A special thanks to Darren for making the trip to Johnny's Beef stand in Melrose Park. Thanks for the great weekend all you guys......Pat http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Double what BBBBenny and the Jets had said! Truly a great show with a killer L78 display! (Thanks Dan) Had a great time even if Just bad Joe and his mother Becky never stopped pickin on me. Only regret was that CheeseWhizz http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif and Cumby were MIA both nites for some bench racing and great dining at the Hotel and after in the lobby. Met alot of fine people and as always Darren was there for mine and Benny's needs, which included a battery for Bennys' truck cause the "dope" aahh I mean the good guy that he is, left his trailer lites and radio on. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Hopefully all the mid-west people enjoyed their Pa. potato chips and Philadelphia TastyKakes. Next year Stefano PROMISED to take us all to Gibsons for dinner on him. I thought that was real nice. Missed Gags and Howie too. Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys. Sam

[wheelhop]

Sorry, didn't mean it to be personal

[olredalert]

-------Another well deserved BIG thank you to Darren for Fridays feast. A truly nice guy. Im glad everyone liked my old car, the L89 Elco (74 to 76). That was one I never should have let go of, but hey,,,I made $1500 on it!!!! Although it was always an exceptionally clean, well cared for car, those guys really put the touch on it as the car simply looked fantastic. There were, however, far too many great cars to ever hope to pick a favorite. Thanks also to Bob A, his wife, and thier team for a really fun weekend..........Bill S

[DarrenX33]

All-

Thanks very much for the kind words. Its simply a no brainer and a pleasure to be associated with such a fine group of friends. I apologize to anyone I failed to track down, most notably Kwhizz. Ken I owe you big time.

Per my wife, next year I need to get myself organized a little better... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[L78Impala]

A big THANKS to Mark Webster. Mark great job putting together the BIG CAR display. It had a little bit of everything from a beautiful low mile Z24 car to a never before seen 409 x 400hp Biscayne. Truely a fun show. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

[DarrenX33]

You know its a great show when Billy brings his car out.. Great to finally see it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Congrats to bbbenny on the awards. We're pleased to have helped him along with his project. And thanks for bringin ol Sammy with ya. Amazing how well you two get along. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
Always good to see everyone from the Clary's, to the SCW group,to the local area folks like Darrin, Frank, and dad, and the Nickey crew.
We were very pleased, and honored to be able to park with Helen, and the Gibb folks this time since we brought the nbr 21 Gibb nova. I was almost like bringing home a long lost relative back into the family fold.
Also thanks to Mr Ashton for a very fine event. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Not to be a jerk but, shouldn't the display read "console with gauges" instead of "counsel"?

That Burnish Brown 69Z sure looks familiar, nice to see it amongst the best in the country! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[1969l78]

Dog Dish Caps are the way to go.

[Charley Lillard]

Who's brown Z28 was that ? Who restored it ? Very nicely done and the paint body was killer.

[Bob Hollinshead]

I performed the paint and body, the owner John Karvonen did all the drivetrain/suspension/and disassembly and reassembly. I was happy to be a part of that project http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif-no expense was spared, top of the line inside and out top to bottom.

[ORIGLS6]

I talked to John for a few minutes Saturday. Actually, he approached me and said he recognized me from the Gibb Show this year. VERY NICE Z! I think he said this was his first restoration. Love the color and unique combo of options. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Here's another look at the car.

[Salvatore]

Looks like John and Bob did a superb job! I have talked with John on many occasions and I know that even under all the killer outside work the inside, down under and around the corner is just as nice and correctly done. Maybe those boys in the upper peninsula (frozen tundra) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif of Michigan will start a resto business of their own. Great car John and even a better color. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Sam

------I have known John for more than a couple of years now and he is a great young (young to me at least) guy. The hobby will be left in good hands with guys like him coming along. He is about 12 hours from anywhere and that makes the level of his restoration all that much more interesting. I cant wait to see the L78 hes doing now as it will no doubt be an a## kicker!!!!!!!!!........Bill S

[nuch_ss396]

So nice to see the only '69 Z built with the standard hood http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Seriously, very nice car and an awesome color.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Can I have it ? That is a great Z.

[olredalert]

------Did you notice the lack of D80 as well. A very refreshing Z-car,,,,shown as delivered. Doesnt happen that often. If you watch E-bay you would think every 69 Z delivered came with spoilers and cowl-induction........Bill S

[Charley Lillard]

It was also a M22 car with a open diff.

[Salvatore]

Is John's Z in the Members Rides section yet? Attention to detail is second to non in my opinion. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
