And on Sunday the 29th
The Seattle based Pacific Northwest Chapter Cadillac LaSalle car club's All Cadillac and LaSalle Picnic was on the main street of Ruston Washington. The town welcomed the club and by closing their main street for the PNWCLC Picnic. It is a quaint area with a tree lined street & vintage homes. There was a few craft booths and music on the lawn. Participation in having your car judged was optional.
FLASH John Guest of Federal Way gave up on his red/charcoal '91 that suffers from rodents getting to the wiring and some issues with his fuel injectors. No Hard Top. I understand he just gave it away..

At the Vancouver Island Chapter of the Cadillac LaSalle Club's 7th annual show at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse Provincial Park. One of the largest Cadillac car shows in Canada (plus one LaSalle); this year total appearances were in the high 70 count. A 1914 made an appearance and many post War Cadillac cars of all types are there - customs, ambulances, hearses, vintage, classic, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, and newer models. With excellent weather for the weekend assured by the organizing committee, convertibles were in good attendance. The host committee did excellent work with plaques and a charity barbeque all to support a worthy cause. Our Patty C won best in class with her '93!
