POCI Convention

POCI Convention

Here are some pictures from the 1998 Pontiac Oakland Club International Convention held in Sturbridge MA the week of July 13-17, 1998

Unfortunately I couldn't get pictures of all of the cars that were present. They aren't pictured in any particular order..just whichever ones I got to first :) The cars pictured are some of my favorites that were there. If you were there and your car isn't pictured feel free to e-mail any pictures you have to me.
If you spot any errors on a car's model or year let me know and I'll fix it..I was going from memory :)
Wish some of the pics came out better but I'm no professional photgrapher..and my scanner is getting old :(
