78 GMC Royale on display

[Bob Dunahugh]

Had it at the Muscle Car Corvette Nationals last week. A huge indoor show. Had a counter at the door. 3473 people toured it. And had some of my COPO Yenkos delivered there also. The GMC was a big hit. In the past I've had GMCMI show boards/banners up. Didn't get that part of the display up this year. Would have been nice to have got that done.

Good job, Rob. Talk about an ambassador for the GMC. Keep up the good work.
Guys like me know how important these activities are. Never, ever let
anyone tell you otherwise. "Illigimitimi non-carbarundum". Call anytime you
want to talk. You and Linda enjoy Thanksgiving.

Bob, don't know where the "R" came from. Guess my android phone decided you
needed a name change. Sorry about that.

Someone asked about the show. In a privet e-mail. As to the numbers of spec=
tators, cars on display, and what's the nature of this event. I was told t=
hat just over 63,000 spectators showed up. At $35 each. The 3473 was the nu=
mber that went inside our 78 Royale. Have show photos if interested. I got=
the GMC, and Yenkos to Chicago on Wed. Came home on Mon. It's the biggest=
indoor show in North America. This year. There were 462 cars. From 39 stat=
es that were on display. It's a by invitation only show. You apply to ente=
r. I know of car owners that have been applying to get in for years. The c=
ars that get in. Need to be rare, high dollar cars. You have to have docu=
mentation that it a true example of what it is. No clones. As to how a 78 G=
MC Royale got in a show like this. The Yenkos that I race/show. Are extreme=
ly rare. High dollar. 6 figure cars each. And yes. I'm crazy for racing th=
ese at high speed events. I'm not big into shows. Been getting invited, a=
nd participated for years. About 7 years ago. I was asked to attend. But ju=
st wasn't in the mood. So I said no. My 69 Goodyear tire test Yenko was the=
only one built in 69. They wanted it there that year for a special display=
. So I told them. That I'd bring the 69 Yenko. If they'd have the GMC in th=
e show. Very reluctantly they said yes. It's been a big attraction ever sin=
ce. And yes. The bottom gets detailed. I know of 6 GMC's that have been bou=
ght because of my showing it at this show. And thank you for the comments.=
