The 2008 Widetrackers Spring Dustoff

Approximately 85 cars turned out for the 20th Annual Widetrackers Dust-Off Car Show at Springfield Oaks County Park in Davisburg, Michigan. The Committee Members and show volunteers did an excellent job preparing for the show. There were many new cars this year that had never attended a previous show. It's always great to see such variety of Pontiac, Oakland, and GMC cars and trucks at the show each year.

Special thanks to General Motors Heritage Center and Custom Auto Services for their support with displaying 5 show vehicles. The 1909 Oakland was a real hit along with the VERY FIRST Pontiac, a 1926 coupe. Also displayed were a 1966 Catalina 2+2, a 1969 Trans Am, a 1979 Trans Am Camback (only 2 of the station wagon-like vehicles were ever built and the other is in private hands. What a great group of cars and an even better group of participants and spectators!  Thanks to all that braved the cool and wet weather and came out. It was a great time for all. We look forward to seeing you again next year!!
