Brochure – Updated 2019-02 MIDWEST CITY OKLAHOMA BUICK NATIONAL MEET JUNE 12-15, 2019 Make plans now to... Get your kicks at the Buick National Meet Registration forms are available in this brochure, on the Bugle cover wrap and on the BCA website: www.buickclub.org Here are 8 excellent reasons why you should plan to... Get your kicks at the Buick National Meet Midwest City, OK • June 12-15, 2019 1 BUICKS, BUICKS AND MORE BUICKS The Buick National Meet is the largest gathering of great vintage Buicks in the country and that’s what you’ll see! All makes and models — some in need of repair, others perfectly restored, some jazzed up with muscle, others as original as it gets, some driven and some trailered. All of these cars have one thing in common: The owners love them and we, at the BCA, welcome any and all of them to the BCA meet in Oklahoma! 2 MEETING OLD & NEW FRIENDS This is the one and only time the BCA has a national get-together to be with old friends and to celebrate our mutual interest in vintage Buicks. It’s also a great opportunity to make new friends and learn about Buick models you might not have previously been interested in. How about offering a new member a ride on one of the driving tours or invite someone new to have dinner or a beer with you? Give a kid at the meet a chance to sit (or ride) in your vintage automobile. This short time together each summer is all about FUN - so come join us in the celebration! 3 TAKE YOUR VERY OWN VEHICLE If you want to have your car judged by people knowledgeable about Buicks so you can find out what might be corrected at some future time — this is a GREAT opportunity to do just that. If you have worked hard and spent money to make your Buick the best it can be, want to have it judged, and hopefully win an award — GREAT! And if you only want to relax, sit beside your car under an umbrella sipping on a cold drink, gabbing with friends all day — that’s GREAT too! 4 SWAP MEET EXTRAORDINAIRE There will be a vast amount of old Buick parts that are for sale in the swap meet portion of the meet. This might be the largest selection of old Buick parts for sale at any meet anywhere, so come prepared to shop and buy! 5 BUICKS WERE MADE TO BE DRIVEN (on tours) TWO driving tours are offered that require only two things: a car and a driver. Wednesday’s tour is a short drive to the historic town of Guthrie, Oklahoma’s first capital. You’ll find restored Go for the cars, return for the friendships and fun Registration forms for the 2019 National Meet are available in this brochure, on the Bugle cover wrap and BCA website: www.buickclub.org heritage buildings and unique vintage shopping opportunities.

Neon signs, old gas MIDWEST CITY stations and bucolic scenery await you, so bring your car and some friends and experience the “Mother OKLAHOMA Road”.

  • The Oklahoman 9 Must-See Attractions at OKC Museums to Look for During Spring Break Brandy Mcdonnel 19 March 2021
    The Oklahoman 9 must-see attractions at OKC museums to look for during spring break Brandy McDonnel 19 March 2021 9 must-see attractions at OKC museums to look for during spring break Spring break has sprung for many schoolchildren, and families looking for safe local outings during the pandemic shouldn't overlook the many museums in the the Oklahoma City area. Assuming that coronavirus guidelines are in effect, museums are safer than almost any other indoor environment, with a risk of COVID-19 transmission lower than in supermarkets, restaurants and offices, Hyperallergic recently reported, citing a study from the Berlin Institute of Technology in Germany. Although many central Oklahoma museums have impressive special exhibitions on view for spring, their collections also boast treasures on permanent display that can be seen any time these landmarks are open — and they should be seen in person to be fully appreciated. 1.

Hill Collections Endowment and the Pauline Morrison Ledbetter Collections Endowment. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is rightfully renowned for its expansive and beautiful collection of Dale Chihuly glass art, but it also became home two years ago to this stunning large-scale work by celebrated African-American painter Kehinde Wiley, who famously painted Barack Obama's presidential portrait. Wiley is best known for recreating paintings by iconic masters but replacing the European aristocrats, saints and generals with people of color, especially young African American men, attired not in ancient finery but in current fashions like puffy jackets, hoodies and sneakers.
