This message board was well represented at the 2017 NIA Convention. The vehicles and the owners were truly top notch. Here is a list (if I missed anybody, let me know):
59Fins 67GOLD 367s Bill VP Arden Marquardt
Highlights:
59Fins - I believe he drove all the way from the Phoenix metro area! Bolero Red! Neat to see a Stereo Multiplex mounted to the left of the Stereo 8 Track! 67Gold - Fresh Paint and Body in Granada Gold! Convertible 4 speed Impala, in dash Tach and gauges! 367s - Wow! Fresh restoration on an SS427 with fiber optics and more! Judged class! Bill VP - Royal Plum 4 speed with a tri power set up under the hood! Torq Thrusts, too! Arden - Drove in from Sioux City in the 4 door sedan he bought from his grandpa!
Also got to talk to the original owner of a 67 Caprice with a 396 and F41. He stated that he wanted to order fender skirts, but they were not available with F41 because of the extra wide wheels.
If anybody has pictures, please post them in a response to this thread.
Thank you

I would like to contact the person who had the '67 facts and figures book at the seminar. I didn't get a chance to look at it. I had heard that there was a page in that book with the '67 Canadian colors. Can you post that?

Edit, Deleted the pics that did not show up, will try again, does not appear to be a size of picture issue, some would just not go, even when downsized to a real small size,(see add'l posts) pics are in no specific order, will try again, sorry if duplicates, or if I did not get anyone's car in, some pics won't go in no matter what I do, most pics taken on from iPhone.
Arden, I have some pics of your car during show and shine and down town, I have a some serious operator issue w/posting pics on this site, does not seem to be a size issue, so I am out of town, when I get back ( currantly out of town) , I will take a run at it again, a thumbnail won't even post on some pics, and others a full blown right off iPhone pics will post, it seems once you try and post a pic, and it does not take, it is done, it won't post at any size I'm sure if I read the "how to post pics" part (directions), I would probably learn something
For some reason, all pics I want to upload will not go, size factor or my antiquated computer? I don't know. some go full size, some won't go even as The week went so fast, as I left home on Friday, got home following Monday, drove my 67 SS from Greater Phoenix area (Surprise AZ) 1450 miles to Spearfish, Thank God for A/C and cruise control, I have owned my car a little under 11 years and have put approx. 11,000 miles on my car, 3000 was in that 10 days! With stops in Albuquerque both ways (Thanks Keith) I learned a lot, and items I will need for future plans, mostly small items, that would be a separate post.
We left Albuquerque Sunday afternoon, and first thing I seen when we turned the corner at Keith's was what appeared to be a weather front coming, we dodged the better part of it, I believe it rained once over the show week, and it was at night, so weather was good, turnout was not as I had hoped outside of the 67's since it was the 50th year anniversary I assume because of lack of leadership in past? I am not sure or care, I hope the turnout is better next year in Dayton, I realize from being involved in other "Car Clubs" through the years, that everyone is different, getting the young involved seems to be key, as we get older it is rare to see younger guys, I am sure because of the costs involved with our cars, there were several younger guys there I met, it is good to see them involved and be as knowledgeable as they were. I'll try some more pics, but my time is limited. always is...
sorry guys, the program will just not me upload more
Hi Bill, It sounds like you had a great time! I wish I could have gone. Thank you for all of the pictures and the hassles of posting them. We really appreciate it! And we are looking forward to more.
The 8-track faceplate cover --> I'm also interested in either an NOS one, or suggestions/leads on getting mine restored. Thanks again!!Denis 1967 Impala SS Sport Coupe 396/TH400/12 bolt. Marina Blue (South Gate built) 1967 Impala SS Convertible 327/TH400/12 bolt. Ermine White (St. Louis built)
