The San Diego Region
CLC held its annual Regional National Sunday, September 19, 2010, at
Ventura Cove Park on beautiful Mission Bay in San Diego. The Las
Vegas and Sonora Regions were strongly represented, enticed by the
welcome cool waterside temperatures, a welcome break from the
sizzling heat of their home turf. Colin Christe of the Las Vegas
Region delighted attendees and spectators alike with his 1917
Cadillac Touring Car. Not to be outdone, Mel Martin of the Sonora
Region showed his stunning 1929 Cadillac Dual-Cowl Phaeton.
A pair of 1939
LaSalles was a welcome sight on the show field, introducing
passers-by to a marque many had never heard of before. Some
personal favorites included a Rosewood 1960 Fleetwood with matching
interior, a breath-taking 1958 Eldorado Biarritz (with all its
vanities intact!), and a cheerful blue 1971 Eldorado Convertible
with white top and interior, whose owner brought it all the way from
New York State by way of Phoenix.
Congratulations go out
to the San Diego Region, and especially to events coordinator Gary
Sisk, for putting on a wonderful show and a great day. We look
forward eagerly to next year! |
