RRR-CLC News Page

Not so long ago, Bernie Cooney had a bright idea. Let's visit the home of THOMAS EDISON and then have lunch at the renowned IRVING'S DELI. And while we're at it, let's invite the New Jersey Region AACA to come along. Modern cars are welcome, but antiques are certainly welcome, too.

In typical Bernie fashion, the plan went off without a hitch. The tours - the house and garage - were great. And lunch was delicious!

The Raritan River Region is proud to announce the publication of the Cadillac Color, Upholstery & Accessory Database. This database covers the years of 1940 through 1979 and is available in Excel spreadsheet format.

We are indebted to RRR member and Director, Ralph Messina for his efforts to compile this extensive database covering our favorite marque.

We also thank Paul Allen, Lou Commisso, Jim Eccleston, Tom Hall, Hill Jenkins, Mike Josephic, Warren Rauch and Jim Salmi whose contributions were numerous and invaluable.

Visit the Database, here, and enjoy! Comments and questions may be directed to Ralph Messina at RalphM@rrrclc.org

2010

The following reports have been submitted by a region spy (spies?). He (she?) has been attending local cruise nights and shows and reporting back to Headquarters on the activities of various RRR members. So far, our anonymous informant(s) has provided these reports, including photos. Reports have been DECLASSIFIED for public viewing.

Report: 04-24-10 OBC

At the Old Bridge Cruise, numerous RRR members were sighted including Andrew Monahan, Bob Rankin, Rosemary Spicuzza, Bernie Cooney, George Maslow and Bob Crimmins. A good - but chilly - time was had by all. At the end of the night, a large black and chrome object appeared to race down Route 9. Not quite a flying saucer, as it never left the ground. But it certainly did get a lot of attention.

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.

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!

No doubt you enjoy reading Caddy Corner. Have you ever considered writing an article for an upcoming issue? Articles don't have to be long - a few paragraphs is fine. Ray will certainly help with the editing and "word-smithing", too! Articles can be about any Cadillac or LaSalle related topic....for example:

	The acquisition and/or restoration of your car.
	A technical article.
	A maintenance article (engine detailing, leather or vinyl care).
	Your significant other's perspective of this crazy hobby.
	A summary or commentary of an RRR event you attended.
	News about modern Cadillacs.

The Raritan River Region Merchandise Factory has been working overtime, cranking out all sorts of great region merchandise.
