The weather forecast for the end of the week ending Friday, 16 May, was none too good. Miraculously, Friday's rain gave way to a clear, near-perfect spring Saturday for this second version of a city car show.

Just as they had in 2007, Ron Hux and the entire staff of Delaware Cadillac spared nothing to provide a first-class venue for this, the VFR's lone dealer show for 2008. Part of that effort: an e-mail blast and a postcard mailing preceding the event, which combined to pay major dividends. No fewer than 39 cars showed up. That total exceeded the inaugural by roughly half a dozen, and included no fewer than 16 day-of-show registrations. The region picked up two more members on the spot, and has started recruiting a few more (thanks, Delaware Caddy Club, for coming out and providing some much-needed examples of contemporary Cadillacs to the show field.)

Thanks to photographers, Rich Hartkorn and John Barry, for their contributions!
