Buick Club of America: 2014 Buick Heartland Regional Meet

If you were in the Minneapolis area this past weekend, you may have passed by the 2014 Buick Heartland Regional Meet held at the Crown Plaza host hotel in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The show ran August 7-9, 2014. The Buick Club of America (BCA) invited Buick enthusiasts to participate in a swap meet, car corral and 100-point judged show with 11 classes.

For this show, we saw Buick models from the 1920’s all the way through the 1980’s, some stock, some custom, fully restored, fully original or some in the process of restoration. Most important, all are driven!

Registered car owners went on a driving tour to the famous French Lake Auto Parts on Thursday with literally acres of vintage Buicks.
