Since the earliest day of its existence, the Raritan River Region, CLC has always looked up to its big sister, the Valley Forge Region.  In the early days the two regions even shared a dealer show at Colonial Cadillac in Trenton NJ.  During the following years both regions have enjoyed a duality of membership.  It hasn't always been easy to travel the distances involved, but this diversity of membership has always lent an air of excitement to their events. 

The RRR proudly announces an event in a geographically convenient location.  Gold Coast Cadillac-Hummer is located just north of the intersection of Interstate 195 and NJ 18 in Oakhurst NJ.  This ultra modern dealership is proclaimed to be the largest Cadillac Dealer in the world.  In addition to this being our inaugural event with Gold Coast, this will also be the RRR's first attempt at class judging.  All in all, it should be an memorable event.

First and foremost the RRR extends a warm and open invitation to all the members in the Valley Forge Region to join us for this important milestone.  Just as we shared our first dealer show, we would like to share our first real judged event.  

Commemorative dash plaques will be presented to the first 100 pre-registered cars in attendance.  Every one is encouraged to attend.  Non-Cadillacs are welcome, and will be peer judged.  There will be plenty of trophies for the deserving vehicles. 

Entertainment will be provided by Scott Giaquinto.  We ask all cars on the show field be accompanied by a working fire extinguisher.  Registration by August 30, 2010 is $15.00;  at the gate $20.00.  Registration opens at 9 and closes at noon.  Judging for Cadillacs begins at noon.  Peer judging for non Cadillacs begins upon arrival.  Awards presented at 2:30.

Congratulations to ROB & CHEVONNE ROBISON.  Their stunning and unique 1942 Cadillac was featured in - and on the cover of - the May 2010 issue of The Self Starter.  The article features the history - and painstaking restoration - of this rare piece of Cadillac history.

...and BOB CRIMMINS contributed a great article about one of the last junkyards left in New Jersey!  Get your May 2010 Self Starter and take look.  By the time you read the article, most of the cars in the photos will be g-o-n-e to the great car lot in the sky!

The Valley Forge Region members joined by members from the Carolina, Potomac, Central Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh Regions of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club gathered in front of the 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan for a formal Adoption Ceremony on Sunday, November 15th at the AACA Museum. David Rothman, Chair of the Adopt-a-Car Program, officiated.

After a brief description of the car’s special features and specs, the formal proceedings began when David said: “We have gathered here to witness the adoption of this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan by the Valley Forge Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club.” VFR president Marty Watkins was called forward and was asked: “In the name of the Valley Forge Region, will you adopt this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan.” After receiving his affirmative reply, the Valley Forge Region was declared the adopter when David continued: “By the powers vested in me by the Museum’s board of directors and as Chair of the Adopt-a-Car Program, I hereby make it known that this 1931 Cadillac Town Sedan is adopted by the Valley Forge Region.” He then presented an Adoption Certificate to the VFR president.

A second Adoption Ceremony took place in front of the 1905 Runabout Model E Cadillac. Bill Edmunds, founder and past president of the Carolina Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club, accepted the adoption of the car in the name of the Carolina Region – CLC. An Adoption Certificate naming the Carolina Region as the adopter was presented to Bill Edmunds.
