Bomb's Away! Lead East 2009
by RoseMary Spicuzza by Joe Manna
   

 

Our Region Events Coordinator, Joe Manna, is always on the prowl for interesting things to show our members.  His two latest finds come from the H.A.M.B. (The Hokey Ass Message Board) featured on www.jalopyjournal.com  For starters, Joe highly recommends these two threads (you can view without joining the the message board)

 
Cadillac Cruisers - LOTS of pictures of great modified Cadillacs
 
Cadillac Concept Cars
 

 
Big changes are happening with our friends in The Professional Car Society.

The Official Message Board of the National PCS can be found here.

Also, please visit the new website for the Northeast Chapter (NY, NJ, PA).

Both sites are filled with very interesting info - and I'm sure you'll soon be a fan of hearses, ambulances, flower cars and limos!

 

 

  Even the Cluck U Chicken knows - Cadillac & LaSalle Night was a big hit!
 

 

Local “RRR” Referrals

Through discussions at our October meeting, we thought a compilation of local vendors and service people who have assisted us with our vehicles would be useful to all.  There are many vendors we have had good experiences with that we have shared with our fellow club members through questions and conversations.  The thought is to compile a quick list we can share with all.  This could include general repair shops, body shops, local vendors, specialized vendors by production year, some guy who has a bunch of inventory in his garage that is always in good shape and well priced, etc.  Any business that is local that you would recommend to a club member is the goal for this list.  The template, below, is what we would like to include in our directory.  If you have a vendor you would like to include, please fill out the information request and email or mail it to Ted Mandalakis.  We will distribute the compiled list in the near future.

          Company Name:
          Street Address:
          City, State, Zip:
          Owner/Contact (if known):
          Phone Number:
          Website:
          Their Specialty: (electrical repair, exhaust, etc.)
          Vehicle Years Serviced (if specific):
          Additional Comments:
          Recommending Club Member: (your name)

Our first confession:  Rocky's Eldorado, by Ralph Messina

 

 

The response has been pretty good!

Have you ever seen those pictures in your local newspaper, showing someone in an exotic location holding a copy of the paper?

Well, the RRR is going to do the same thing!

We are looking for pictures of you wearing your RRR hat or shirt in some location other than Central NJ!  Going to the Grand Canyon?  River cruise on the Nile?  The Poconos? Maybe you met somebody famous while wearing your RRR logo?  GREAT!  Take your RRR stuff with you and get your picture taken!  You might get your mug featured on the web or in the next Caddy Corner!  Send your pictures to The Webmaster!
