There were four cars in the group, a LaSalle 4-door hardtop, a LaSalle roadster, a Biscayne, and the Cadillac Brougham town car. The LaSalle 4-door looked like the most restorable car of the group. These pictures must have been taken in 1989 (twenty years ago!) as more of that group were printed in Old Cars Weekly. The Cadillac Brougham town car was sold and restored into a running car. The Biscayne and LaSalle roadster have been partially restored and shown at Pebble Beach. What has happened to the LaSalle 4- door? Do you or any of the CLC members know the status of this car? Bob Eng Sioux Falls, South Dakota PS: Thanks for the great newsletter every month. Bob, Thanks for the great pictures and for all your support over the years. Personally, I do not know what happened to the LaSalle 4-door. Hopefully someone reading this newsletter will have information on the car. If I hear anything, I will let you know. Talk with you later, Vince Visit us on the web! 3 www.clcpotomacregion.org Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle August 2009 2009 CALENDAR OF EVENTS DATE TIME EVENT LOCATION CONTACT INFORMATION Aug 8 10:00 am – 35th Annual Metro Chapter Montgomery College Cory Correll at 240-686-0229 or Sat 3:00 pm Buick Club All-GM Show Rockville MD [email protected] Aug 8 10:00 am – 4th Annual CLC Western Legacy Village at Cedar 216-374-8787, 440-785-0453 or Sat 4:00 pm Reserve Region Legacy of Lyndhurst OH www.westernreserveregion-clc.smugmug.com Cadillac Show Aug 14-15 5th Annual Cruize-In and Millsboro Middle School 302-934-8718 Fri-Sat Big Car Show Millsboro DE Aug 11 – CLC National Driving Tour Dulles Airport Marriott Sandy Kemper, Co-Chairman, 301-585-0897 Aug 16 “Capitol Cruising” Dulles VA [email protected] or Tue-Sun Hosted by the Potomac Steven Sisson, Co-Chairman, 703-724-7652 Region [email protected] Aug 16 8:00 am – 24th Annual Francis Scott Key Rose Hill Manor Joe Bart at 301-898-1041 Sun 3:00 pm Antique Car Show Frederick MD Ken Wilson at 301-695-6581 Aug 17 7:30 pm – Potomac Region Snyder’s Willow Grove Vince Taliano at 301-258-8321 or Mon 9:30 pm Monthly Meeting Restaurant [email protected] Linthicum MD Sep 6 10:00 am – Vern Parker’s Spring Hill www.vernparker.com Sun 3:00 pm Street Dreams Car Show Recreation Center McLean VA Sep 12 9:00 am – 13th Annual CLC Hampton Suttle Motors Tom Bottoni at 757- 538-1518 Sat 3:00 pm Roads Region Car Show Newport News VA or [email protected] Sep 13 8:00 am – AACA Sugarloaf Mt Airy Rob Burchill at 301-371-0654 Sun 3:00 pm Mountain Region's Fireman's Park 40th Annual Car Show Mt Airy MD Sep 19 8:00 am – 34th Annual Edgar Rohr Manassas Museum Richard Porter at 703-590-4512 or Sat 3:00 pm Memorial Antique Car Meet Manassas VA http://local.aaca.org/bullrun/ Sep 24 7:30 pm – Potomac Region Capitol Cadillac Vince Taliano at 301-258-8321 or Thu 9:30 pm Monthly Meeting Greenbelt MD [email protected] Sep 26-27 Norwalk Festival Car Shows Berkeley County Youth Chris Breeze at 304-267-3140 or Sat-Sun and Concerts Fair Grounds [email protected] Martinsburg WV Sep 27 Valley Forge Region's Peddler's Village www.vfrclc.org/upcoming_events.htm Sun Annual Fall Meet Lahaska PA Sep 30 - Gates open Fall Carlisle Carlisle PA 717-243-7855 or Oct 4 daily www.carsatcarlisle.com Wed-Sun at 7:00 am Oct 7-10 Opens at AACA National Giant Center http://local.aaca.org/hershey Wed-Sat 7am Eastern Fall Meet Hershey PA Oct 7 6:00 pm – AACA Night at the Museum AACA Museum www.nightatthemuseum.org Wed 10:00 pm Hershey PA Oct 17 8:00 am – City of Rockville Rockville Civic Center 240-314-5022 or Sat 4:00 pm Antique and Classic Car Show Rockville MD www.rockvillemd.gov/events/carshow.htm Oct 17 10:00 am – 9th Annual UPS Classic Car, UPS Facility Jim Lanham at [email protected], Sat 5:00 pm Truck and Motorcycle Show Laurel MD 301-390-9085 (home), 301-741-3721 (cell) or 301-604-4579 (office) Oct 24 10:00 am – 3rd Annual Potomac Day Falls Rd & River Rd 202-438-3553 or Sat 2:00 pm Classic Car Show Potomac MD [email protected] Oct 25 9:00 am – Capitol Cadillac/Potomac Capitol Cadillac Diane & Henry Ruby at 301-894-8026 or Sun 3:00 pm Region Fall Car Show Greenbelt MD [email protected] "Celebrating Capitol Cadillac's 75th Anniversary" SEPTEMBER 19TH: 34th Annual Edgar Rohr Memorial Car Meet - Manassas Museum 9101 Prince William St Manassas, VA - Antique vehicles through 1984, street rods, "HPOF" vehicles through 1974 (free registration for all pre-certified HPOF's this year) - Swap meet and car corral - 160 show cars in 2008 - Rain or Shine - Sponsored by Bull Run Region, AACA - Free spectator admission and parking (across street) - In historic Old Town Manassas, with nearby shops, farmers market, 6th Annual Old World Festival, and Sidewalk Sale - Registration: $10 before 9-14-09, $15 thereafter - Info: Richard Porter, (703) 590-4512, [email protected] - Website: http://local.aaca.org/bullrun/ Visit us on the web! 4 www.clcpotomacregion.org Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle August 2009 Save the Date!
