In addition to the appearances in the table below, there's
Claremont Cruise Nights (March through October)
This is a really down home cool car show right in the heart of the Claremont Village.
They are held on the 2nd Saturday of the month (from March through October) 5:30 - 8:30PM
and Gary usually attends.
At the end of the show, the winning cars line up behind his Buick
and parade several times around the main streets with siren, lights,
and of course the Highway Patrol theme song blaring !

A Neil Young Encounter
by Gary Goltz
|
| Neil Young - Gary Goltz (1996) |
|
| David Crosby - Gary Goltz - Sharon Goltz - Graham Nash (2002) |
|
On Thursday, September 12, 1996, I went to see a concert of my favorite singer/song writer "Neil Young" at Irvine Meadows, in Irvine, California. My friend suggested I drive the Broderick Crawford Special, as he had heard Neil was a nostalgic Buick fan. After the show, I was allowed to park my Buick next to Neil's tour bus.
The tour bus itself was a tribute to classic Buicks. It had two 48 Roadmaster roofs mounted on the top, with a 48 Roadmaster grill mounted on the front, and 61 Buick tail lights mounted on its rear. It also had a set of 54 Buick portholes on its side.
After a short wait, Neil came out of the stage exit on his way to the bus. Upon seeing my Highway Patrol car, he paused to admired it with a true Buick lover's glow in his eyes. I played the Highway Patrol theme song through the car's P.A. system. This brought a smile to Neil and the estimated 30 people that had gathered around. I then switched to a new Neil Young release. With the cars mike in hand, Neil began singing along to his CD over my car's P.A.!
After pausing for a few pictures, Neil was on his way. It was a moment I will always remember.
A year later I was at another Neil show this time wearing a tee shirt that had the picture of us on it. When I got to go back stage after the show Neil walked past me and looked pretty tiered. I yelled out to him and he initially said “hey man I’m ready to call it a night”. But then I said look at my shirt to which he glanced down and immediately got a smile on his face saying “I remember you and that cool Buick”. I asked him to sign the shirt which he did while I was wearing it. I told him the problem was now that he signed it I couldn’t wear it anymore since I was going to have it framed!
In 2002 I got to go back stage at a show of the compete group Crosby Stills Nash and Young my all time favorite group.
For those who may not know, Neil's song Long May You Run is a tribute to his 48 Buick Roadmaster hearst he called Mort. It the one he was driving in Los Angeles back in 1966 when he ran into Stills and formed the Buffalo Springfield.
I have since further dedicated the song to my Buick, the Broderick Crawford Special too.

This car was bought in July 2005 by Albert Okura - owner of the Inland Empire restaurant chain
Juan Pollo's in California.
He also purchased the little Route 66 town of Amboy on eBay several years ago with the intent of making it a road tour destination. |

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CAR1954 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 2 DOOR POST SEDANby Russ LindenlaubThis story is about an authentic replica of those '54 Oldsmobile's used by
the California Highway Patrol, and enjoyed by so many of us in the TV series. It –
like its CHP counterpart – is a Super-88 2-door post sedan with the mighty
"Rocket 88" 324 cubic inch 4-barrel engine and standard 3-speed
