Boats by the River (BBTR) #10

[Georg/BBTR]

What startet out as a crazy late night Facebook group idea in 2016, turned into the largest C-Body show in the world. And yes, it is still for 1969 to 1973 Fuselage C-Bodies only.
For the 10th edition of BBTR, 66 (new record) of the fullsize sedans, hardtops, convertibles and wagons showed up in the little village of Erden, located in the Moselle valley, Germany. This time we had participants from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Germany, plus enthusiasts without a C-Body from the UK and the USA.

Next year we will celebrate the 10 year anniversary (2016-2026) with a special photo shoot. But for now, enjoy the photos:

So awesomely great to see all of these beautiful cars in one place, at one time, looking better than new, "knowing where they are". Which means THEY know how significant it is to see their family members together again.

I'm GLAD the event has grown in numbers and hope it continues to grow!

Thanks for the pictures! Keep up the great work!

Thank you again for having me, and I hope to welcome you in turn on this side of the pond. It is a superbly organized event, with super friendly folks.

PS: love the fact that you organized the photos by brand, very nice indeed!

This is just soooo awesome! If you had shown a picture of someone eating a bratwurst with a tankard of beer I would have broke down crying! This event is now #11 on my bucket list!

Was there an actual count of the number of cars there? It would be - sad - if there were more C-bodies there than at Carlisle.

I would consider going - if they included the slabs..........

Yes, there were 66 Fuselage C-bodies on site and I guess that’s more than at Carlisle.

And no, we will not include other C-bodies, as we are running out of space anyways.

Yes, maybe only 30 - 40 Fusey's at Carlisle. Probably 100 total C-bodies if you count the 300's that were parked (for some reason) in a separate location away from the C-body group.

You have an impressive collection of cars (and owners) in your group. It would be nice to have an event like that here in North America for the C-bodies.

Having officially reached old age, my memory fails me more often now. It was a maybe 8 or 10 years ago somebody on this board (maybe in the Chicago area) did just that but I think it was for all C Bodies. Can anyone remember the guys who did that?
