One of the pleasant problems associated with success is answering the question, “what do we do for an encore?” Maybe one of the best answers to that is to keep doing what you’ve been doing and don’t argue too much with success. Anyhow, that’s the model used in the joint venture between Delaware Cadillac and the Valley Forge Region for the last few years for this dealer show, and it seems to have paid off handsomely.

Saturday, 30 May was a day of nearly perfect car show weather—always a bonus for late May, when incendiary temperatures and / or tropical humidity are always possible. While participation this year was off a bit from the ’08 edition—a total of 30 vehicles were on display—there were a number of mitigating factors (e.g., the relatively late date; heavy competition from other events; the non-appearance of a local independent Cadillac club) that can be indicated as contributory. That’s the bad news, such as it is. On the very sizable good news side, the showroom had a quintet of head-turning Cadillacs covering, in effect, the entire lifespan of the dealership to date (if one is willing to stretch the definition a bit). And as a major plus that no fewer than four first-time participants (all from Delaware, one might add!) expressed interest in joining the club, which evinced interest was followed by the (e-)mailing of packages of information on membership.
