Default Gettysburg 1980

Going through some early papers (still downsizing) and found these. Think this was printed in "Old Cars Weekly", but whoever clipped it clipped the article only:

We camped in a campground just outside of Gettysburg. Don't remember the name of the campground.

I am a KSC member and my wife and I helped at this convention. I also had my '59 Bonneville and '69 Trans Am in the show. We had been to the 2 previous ('78 and '79) POCI conventions and, along with the other chapter members, were anxious to host our own national event.

The wife and I were there with our 73 Grand Am. It was her first POCI convention.
