2017 Cadillac LaSalle Club Meet-Tyson's Corner, VA

A few photos from a great Cadillac show - couldn't count them all but I heard over 400 cars.

Including Betty White's Seville from the AACA Museum and an original Eldorado Brougham.

any 1912's? or early 1920's at the show?

Quite a meet, it was the Cadillac-LaSalle Grand National with many magnificent  restorations on site.  The lone '53 supercharged Eldorado was there, with outside pipes scabbed against the fender, and in my opinion looking much less attractive than those on the SC '37 Cords.  I was surprised to see that some Cadillac restorods were included.

It was an excellent show, but the number of early cars

was VERY small.  There was a 1903 Cadillac, then a 1914,

and then a 1929.  Those were the only cars from the 1920's

or before, and they were nicely lined up in chronological order.

 

There were quite a few Cadillacs and LaSalles from the 1930's,

however.  Perhaps more so than at other clubs, the C.L.C. members

appreciate more recent antiques, with even cars of the 1970's and

1980's coming out in good number.

Was a great show, if a little warm. The guest speaker at the Awards Banquet was the President of Cadillac. Among other things he talked about Cadillac's entry into the self driving car market. He said he drove from NYC to DC for the show in a Cad equipped with the latest self driving technology and never once touched the steering wheel. All in all a great meet. We were there with a '59 convertible, one of maybe 25 59's on display.

I posted a few more photos in the Cadillac section of this Forum too.

Great show!  Well planned and the hotel was very convenient for meetings, activities, registration area and right out the door to swap meet and car show.  Kudos to the host regions!
