As we close out the season of driving and showing our cars, I want to thank everyone who attended our Spring Car Show at Sport Cadillac and/or the other region events throughout the year.  You are helping to keep the old car community alive!

Thanks to the members who brought their cars to the City of Rockville show.  For the first time in recent memory, there were more Cadillacs and LaSalles than Packards at the show.  Thanks to Chuck Piel for promoting the event.  It really paid off this year.

Our Cars & Coffee events have been a huge success.  Christopher Winter has done a great job of planning them monthly in different areas of the region.  On Sunday, October 16, we likely held our last one for 2022 at the beautiful Manor at Silo Falls in Olney, MD, followed by our monthly meeting.  About six cars and seventeen people attended. As with other places, the host facility provided the coffee and donuts.  The fall weather was great.

At around noon, eight of us went inside for the lunch meeting.  One of the topics of discussion was the venue for the region’s holiday party and possible dates for our 2023 Spring Car Show and Automobilia Auction at Sport Cadillac.  Most liked the idea of having the holiday party at Silo Falls.  As a result, Christopher will discuss with their management.  Also discussed at the meeting was Fall Hershey.  Then, around 2:00 pm we thanked the staff and left with our bellies full and smiles on our faces!

With the holiday season upon us, JoJo and I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Hope to see many of you soon.
