05_Faulkner

Well, it was a good thing that David Rothman placed our order for great weather early, because we certainly got our fair share of sunshine! While there may have been raindrops in the neighboring area, not a drop was felt as the VFR converged on Faulkner Cadillac in Trevose, PA for the first dealer show of the season. FORTY region cars were on display, including nine Emeritus vehicles. Almost one-quarter of the showfield was 41 years or older - amazing!

It has been over a decade since our last outing at Faulkner. We hope the dealership was pleased - certainly the membership had a great time. The food and the laughs and camaraderie were plentiful. Folks took the time to show off some of their wintertime handiwork - new paint or upholstery - or maybe nothing new at all! Although, as I said hello to a fellow member that I haven't seen all winter, I was greeted with a laughing "GOD, I HATE old cars!" Yes, old iron can be temperamental, but the day at Faulkner chased away those wintertime blues and kicked off the 2005 Dealer Show season in great style!
