That green 60 is stunning in that color combo, anyone know who the presenter of it was. Fantastic car, Ray.

Wow, I gues what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas especially with regards to the Grand National. Do the results get posted on the CLC website ?  I was surprised that there aren't any results available yet.  Or does it normally take several days before the results and winners get posted ?  Or is it a secret ?

Hey Fred, did you happen to get some pictures of the nice pair of '47 coupes?  They were sitting side by side - one was a 6107 series and the other a 6207.  It was nice to be able to see the differences up close and personal like that.

Also, there was a nice 63 series 1961 4-window sedan, with the wrap around rear window.  When was the last time you saw one of those?  The color coordinated wheel covers in '61 and '62 just made those cars sparkle!

The Sunbelt collection was also spectacular.  Had to have been about 150 or so convertibles of many, many makes ranging back to the early thirties.  And, a whole separate building with probably eighty some closed bodied cars.

I'm not surprised that some people never connected with each other.  The hotel was enormous-practically a city in itself.

The host region did a great job, and they deserve our thanks.

Any V-16's

[Jeff Hansen]

Lynn, no it is no secret.  We will publish the results on the CLC Web site shortly once everything is audited and verified.

Rusty, there was one V-16 present, a 1939 9059 Formal Sedan.  He took second place in Primary Class 8.

Also, I have created a section in the Photo Gallery for the GN.  I will upload some of own photos there as soon as I can get to it although that may be a few days.  Sorry, my days and nights are filled at the moment.

Call Tom Murray in NJ. I know he had a good time riding w/ us on the Red Rock Tour. My '67 DVC did good & my '54 CDV did great!
I like judging cars indoors much more than Cherry Hill. I knew you would miss me!

I am anxious to know how many 59s were there as well as what 59 body styles were represented? Also were there any 57-60 Eldorado Broughams there? Thanks, Charles D. Barnette

Hi Charles
There were eleven 59's, the lineup started as follows from north to south the cars were heading west.

59 Eldo Biarritz
59 Series 62 Convertible

59 Series 62 Convertible
59 Sedan De Ville
59 Fleetwood
59 Eldo Seville
59 Truck (converted from a Coupe De Ville)
59 Sedan De Ville (heavily modified)

I can't remember the 11th one, but I will post some pics soon, The lineup was great a lot of fins. My 59 Convert got its first senior award. There were also 3 60 converts 2 Eldo's and one series 62.

Also there was on 57/58 Eldo Brougham but it was heavily modified with a V12 engine.

It was an excellent meet, there was always something to do, I don't think I slept more than a couple of hours per night.

Thanks Steve for that report. Congratulations on your award, your car deserved it. A 59 Cadillac truck you say! Got to see that. Looks like we need to get our EBs more visible though. Charles
