The National Weather Service had called for on-and-off showers on Saturday, 19 May.  However, the threat didn’t deter owners of two dozen vehicles from appearing at Eckenhoff Cadillac in Jenkintown—and since seven of those were emeritus cars, that might just have set an all-time record high percentage among those exhibiting (if anyone has either the records or a sufficiently long memory to confirm or correct this, please speak up!).

Those exhibiting spanned the latter two-thirds of the 20^th century, ranging from 1931 to 1996.  As has become something of the custom, the showroom was populated by those of greater vintage: namely, Bud Coleman’s ’40 LaSalle, Andy Jacoby’s ’39 V-16 imperial limousine, and Woody Rohrbach’s ’31 V-12 roadster.  Sidebar: Andy Jacoby should get the day’s “I need to be triplets” award, since he exhibited no fewer than three, count ‘em, three vehicles!  He set the bar on getting an “A” for effort.

To crown the day: Woody Rohrbach achieved well-deserved emeritus status with his ’31 V-12 roadster!
