Wow ! What a difference a day makes !

Mother Nature was forecast to cooperate for today's activities. And all was bright and sunny when I arrived at the track on Saturday morning. I had arrived at the track before most of the AACA show cars. So just like last year, I headed to the speedway to check things out first. Unlike yesterday, the Car Clubs areas were packed today.

Victory Lane Corvette Club.

A beautiful 1965 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

1994 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

I've always liked the C4 Corvette, and would love to have one. This car was displayed with the original window sticker, build sheet, and a letter from Chevrolet.

Accurate sign is accurate !

1988 Chevrolet Corvette.

This was a beautiful car with 56k original miles.

Across from the Victory Lane Corvette Club was the Mid-Atlantic Oldsmobile Club. In a sea of old muscle cars and antiques, the Silhouette minivan looks a little out of place. But this one was quite nice looking.

1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible.

Several engine options were available for a 1967 Cutlass. I'm thinking this is a 330 CID V8 that makes 320 hp.

This is a rare car, being one of approximately 7,793 made that year.

1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S.

The Olds Cutlass was available in several levels of trim. The F85 was marketed to entry level buyers. The Cutlass, which included the Cutlass S model seen in the photos above and below, represented the mid-level. The Cutlass Supreme was positioned a step above the Cutlass S. Next was the dedicated high performance 442, which began life as an option package in 1964 for any mid-sized Oldsmobile that wasn't a wagon. It became its own separate model in 1968. Above that was the halo limited production Hurst/Olds.

This car is a V8 Holiday hardtop coupe, which was the most popular Cutlass available in 1969 with 66,495 sold that year.

1971 Oldsmobile 442.

This is a modified car that now features a 486 CID V8 that makes 560 hp.

1965 Oldsmobile 442 Club coupe.

This was the second year for the 442 package, which was introduced late in the 1964 model year.

For 1965, a new 400 CID V8 replaced the previous year's 330. Power output rose to 345 hp, (which was up from 310 hp in 1964). But the big news was that torque had jumped from 355 ft-lbs in 1964 to 440 ft-lbs for 1965. Also new for 1965 was availability of the Jetaway 2-speed automatic transmission, which this car has.

Thanks to a significant marketing blitz, coupled with having a full model year to work with, Oldsmobile 442 production soared to 25,003 cars for 1965, a far cry from the 2,999 cars produced in 1964.

1965 Oldsmobile 442 convertible.

Just like the hardtop next to it, this car is equipped with the new-for-1965 400 CID V8 that makes 345 hp.

This car seems to be highly optioned featuring a/c, power windows, and the 2-speed Jetaway automatic transmission.

Of the 25,003 cars equipped with the 442 package sold for 1965, 3,468 were convertibles, making this car quite rare.

1966 Oldsmobile 442.

According to the display sign, this car now sports a 455 CID V8 under the hood.

1968 Oldsmobile 442.

For 1968, 442 production reached a new high with 33,607 produced that year. Like the previous 442, the original 400 this car had when it left the factory has been replaced with a 455 CID V8.

1987 Oldsmobile 442.

According to the display sign, the 12k miles shown on the odometer is original. This is quite a rare car, being one of 4,208 442s produced that year, and one of 1,916 equipped with the option al T-Tops. This was the last year for a rear-wheel drive 442.

1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale convertible.

This is a rare car, being one of 7,181 produced for 1975.

1968 Oldsmobile 442 convertible.

From 1964 - 67, the 442 was listed as an option package that was available on various Cutlass models. But in 1968, the 442 became its own model with a dedicated set of style codes.

The standard 442 engine was a 400 CID V8 that made 350 hp when equipped with a manual transmission, (automatic transmission cars had 325 hp). A mild "Turnpike Cruiser" option was available and featured a 290 hp version of the 400 which was fitted with a 2-bbl carburetor and detuned to run on regular gas. Cars with the W30 Outside Air Induction option were rated at 360 hp.

This car has the 325 hp standard engine because it has an automatic transmission.

This is a very rare car, being one of 5,142 442 convertibles produced for 1968.

1977 Oldsmobile 442.

For 1977, the W29 "442 Appearance and Handling Package" consisted mainly of exterior and interior trim upgrades, a few suspension tweaks, and the slant-back front end treatment. The top engine option was now a 403 CID V8 that made 185 hp. Yes, a manual transmission was available, but only with the anemic 260 CID V8 that made 110 hp.

Behind the Oldsmobile club was the Xouisite Car & Truck club. Several of the cars on display were from Godspeed Motors, a Charlotte area exotic car dealer.

2018 Mercedes AMG GTR, asking $149,995.

According to their website, this is a heavily modified car that makes around 700 hp. The odometer shows 44k miles.

2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, asking $182,995.

This is a current Aston Martin model, which was introduced in 2018.

Curiously, the CarFax shows a "minor accident"

Power comes from a 5.2-liter twin turbo V-12 that makes 715 hp.

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead, asking $128,995.

The Phantom Drophead Coupe was produced from 2007 - 2016 in very limited numbers, which can be expected given its $330k price tag.
