The automobiles of Joe Puleo ('59 Fleetwood) and Jay Raskin ('56 convertible) were observed on the Main Street of Somerville during a Friday night cruise. Mr Puleo and Mr. Raskin were not observed - however, our spy did not investigate the local Italian eateries looking for said car owners.... Photograph by Andrew Miller/Courier News.

Report: 07-25-09 OBR

Our spy (Code Name: "Meorge Gaslow") reported that Cadillacs and their owners were a-plenty at the Old Bridge Cruise on July 25. Apparently, Bob Crimmins drove Dearborn's finest in an attempt to go incognito. He was still recognized. Our spy also noted that Bob Rankin, Andrew Monahan, and RoseMary Spicuzza were spotted. And congratulations were hearty, as RoseMary brought home some more "bling" courtesy of Shadow's appearance!

Report: 07-26-09 MPR

Our spy (Code Name: "Med Tandalakis") snapped this picture of Chuck Lopez sitting behind the wheel of Bob Crimmins' 1955 Coupe. Bob was invited to show his car at Monmouth Park Racetrack, and Chuck stopped by to say "Hi!" Chuck is a prize-winning jockey (and former RRR member) who is often featured at Monmouth Park!

Report: 08-07-09 OBR

Our spy reports that the Cadillacs ruled the Old Bridge Cruise Night on August 7. Our spy (Code Name: "Meorge Gaslow") managed to covertly take a few pictures with his camera disguised as a hoagie. The show featured 7 lovely Cadillacs: 1960 4 door sedan, 1955 Coupe de Ville (Bob Crimmins'), 1956 Series 62 Convertible (George Maslow), 1980 Coupe de Ville, 1979 Sedan de Ville, 1929 4 door Sedan, and 1980 Coupe de Ville. RRR Members attending this beautiful non-Cadillac event were Bernie Cooney, George Maslow & Bob Crimmins. Our spy also reported that George Maslow was seen leaving with a new piece of gold hardware, awarded for automotive excellence! Reports corroborated by Spy, "Mandy Monahan".

Report: 08-23-09 LID

Supporting our fellow regions is important and towards that end Rose Mary Spicuzza, Andrew Monahan, Bob Rankin and Bernie Cooney traveled to Hicksville, Long Island on August 23rd to support and attend the Long Island Dream Boats Show. Caravanning in Rose Mary’s ‘78 Coupe DeVille and Bobby’s ‘80 Fleetwood they encountered good weather and the camaraderie of our Long Island friends.

For Rose Mary the trip added a pleasant surprise, her ‘78 Coupe DeVille took a 3rd Place Trophy! Congratulations Roe!
