Just testing the waters to see if anyone is out there.
| View Full Version : Portland, Oregon? cmgrafmc 05-16-06, 05:53 PM Just testing the waters to see if anyone is out there. gdwriter 05-17-06, 12:21 AM I'm an hour south of Portland in Independence (across the Willamette and about 10 miles southwest of Salem). I get up to Portland fairly often and would certainly make the drive for a meet. I also have a '64 Chevy Impala and take it to a number of car shows in the Portland area during the spring and summer. There is a group of forum members in Seattle (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-owners-meets/72998-seattle-area-meet-information.html) that had a meet scheduled for last Saturday, with another on May 27. I'm planning to attend that meet, so if any Oregonians want to caravan up I-5, send me a PM or e-mail to gary@gdwriter.com. __________________ If I had known this is what friends are for, I would have signed up as an enemy! — Ethel Mertz http://www.gdwriter.com/images/ethel.jpg cmgrafmc 05-17-06, 06:52 PM I'm an hour south of Portland in Independence (across the Willamette and about 10 miles southwest of Salem).

I bet I've seen you around without knowing it. I go to the different car shows most every year. We had a gorgeous '61 Impala that my uncle built for us before he went into the Corvette business. We sold it a couple of years back, sadly. Let me know when you're planning to come up for another one, I'd love to see the Impala in person. gdwriter 05-18-06, 11:47 AM I bet I've seen you around without knowing it.

Let me know when you're planning to come up for another one, I'd love to see the Impala in person. I missed most of the car show season last year. The bolts that mount the pulleys to the harmonic balancer sheared off on Memorial Day, and I didn't get Betty back on the road until August (long, ugly story). I'm taking Betty to a show at Western Oregon University (http://www.wou.edu/student/club/business/carshow.htm) in Monmouth (right next to Independence) this Saturday. The next show I'm attending in the Portland area is Cruisin' Sherwood (http://www.cruisinsherwood.com/) on June 10. Look for the green four-door hardtop Impala with the big yellow Lab. __________________ If I had known this is what friends are for, I would have signed up as an enemy! — Ethel Mertz http://www.gdwriter.com/images/ethel.jpg XxCBONExX 05-24-06, 09:43 PM Im in Portland. You uhh, wanna fix my 91 seville for me? (just got it) gdwriter 05-25-06, 12:00 AM Im in Portland. You uhh, wanna fix my 91 seville for me? (just got it) Believe me, you don't want me fixing your car. You think it's broken now, just wait. I'm pretty much the opposite of Mr. Goodwrench. But there are lots of people on this forum with good information and advice. I've learned a lot. __________________ If I had known this is what friends are for, I would have signed up as an enemy! — Ethel Mertz http://www.gdwriter.com/images/ethel.jpg DLE 07-07-06, 10:08 AM Whats up guys. I'm in Vancouver, WA, but work in downtown PDX.. Lets have a meet somewhere in Vancouver or Portland. I'm down. :thumbsup: Old Goldy 09-07-07, 12:12 AM Hi, I'm in Aloha, just got my first Caddy in May. I bought it for my daughters to drive, but I love it too. It's a gold 1986 DeVille Sedan -- hence the name, Old Goldy. It's in remarkable shape, just a few minor issues that I'm working on. Was searching the internet for a new passenger door mirror when I saw this site. Anybody know how to put the roof lining back up? Goldy has bubbles in places and it's getting worse. Thanks for any ideas Dale gdwriter 09-07-07, 12:27 AM Hi, I'm in Aloha, just got my first Caddy in May. I bought it for my daughters to drive, but I love it too.

Thanks for any ideas DaleI'm not sure, but I think the headliner can be re-glued or replaced. An automotive upholstery shop should be able to do it. If that's too expensive, I know a lot of people just use thumbtacks or staples. Looks a little tacky, but better than having the headliner drooping onto your head. Good luck with the car, and :welcome: . There's lots of helpful and fun people here. djvirus 09-09-07, 04:04 PM I am in Newport, OR, and just got my first Cadillac - an 04 SRX. I would be up for a Caddy event. I actually work at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, so if you guys want to put something together on the coast, we have a great even room I could donate the use of. Let me know if there is any interest! Harlyn LS1Mike 09-11-07, 10:35 PM I am a little further north, Bremerton (Seattle). I get down there from time to time though. I bought my RV in Eugene.

However, to each his own... 96BIG_BODY 02-08-08, 02:03 PM anybody else on this site from the portland/vancouver area that lowrides? Jesda 02-12-08, 12:06 AM I will gladly come to a Portland or Seattle meet. gdwriter 02-12-08, 12:38 AM I will gladly come to a Portland or Seattle meet.Damn, we need to have one then! OPEC 03-04-08, 04:07 PM anybody else on this site from the portland/vancouver area that lowrides? I've just picked up a mint '72 Deville. It's all original, so not technically a lowrider....but cool as shit anyway. It'd be fun to meet up on a sunny day and chat. baskalade 03-04-08, 10:34 PM Live in Portland!

It'd be fun to meet up on a sunny day and chat.You should bring it to one of the many classic car shows in Portland in the spring and summer. I bring my '64 Impala to some; if I know of a show in the area I'm attending, I'll let you know. OPEC 03-05-08, 07:10 PM Sounds good on the shows later this summer. I'm going to need to get a tune up done on the thing soon. Any recommendations on shops? I know anybody can do timing, points, ect, but i'd like to start a relationship with a good shop, preferably in inner SE. Thanks. 00slsseville 04-19-08, 07:53 PM im up here in tacoma wa. any meets planned for the summer. either in WA or OR? im down either way onebadsls 04-29-08, 03:30 PM I got a 93 seville I am having a problem getting fuel to the carb, does anyone know someone that I might beable to take it to without paying my left testicle to. I just replaced the fuel modular in the tank and it started up the next day, and then drove fine for three days and went out to start it yesterday, and it started and then died. Any suggestions. tagrp 04-30-08, 07:11 PM I'm in Hillsboro onebadsls 05-07-08, 07:57 PM Im in lacenter Wa, got my car all fixed ready to roll out. Im down anytime let me know. OPEC 05-09-08, 03:32 AM Hey good to hear back from ya'll. We should find a reason to get together before too long, no? Coupla questions: who do you guys use to get work done in town? I've been going to majhor murray, who are really good, but really expensive. I wonder if there is a cheaper place for simple tuneup type work ... i just break shit too much when i work on W myself. Also, anybody ever had a classic appraisal done in town? Thanx BTW--W is the name of the car, cause he comes by at night and fills her up. fleetofcads 05-27-08, 09:06 PM Im in Portland. Love to get together with others in the area this summer. http://www.fleetofcads.com | |
