FINZ Editor New Zealand

Greetings from The Cadillac La Salle Club of New Zealand (Inc.)

Hello everyone. Find attached is your latest FINZ Magazine for: MAY 2022

Latest Covid update in NZ – Omicron remains very active in NZ with NZ Health reporting, currently approx. 60,000 cases and 649 deaths. Govt. mandates continue to ease BUT mask wearing, and hand sanitizing are still highly recommended. We are now entering winter and health officials are very worried about a Covid/Influenzas combination together with measles and Whooping Cough amongst children. Due to Covid, child vaccination rates are way down as low as in the 60% range for some demographics. Fuel costs due to the Ukraine War are at all-time highs. Around NZ$12-14 for an equivalent gallon and over NZ$200+ to fill the Caddy..... ☹

To our Global readers via the US CLC website www.cadillaclasalleclub.org in many parts of the world climate changes are reflected in floods, fires, droughts, tornadoes, blizzards  notwithstanding another cycle of Covid (mainly the Omicron variant) is resurging in some countries yet decreasing in others. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

In this month's issue:

•   Details of your FINZ Magazine securing another Golden Quill Award! Well done to all contributors for making our mag being recognized on the 'Old Cars'  World Stage!
•   Another Kiwi Cadillac on this month's cover!
•   Part Two of Touring the USA in 1957!
•   Reminder to book your accommodation for our 49th AGM/ Cadillac Nationals to be held 3rd – 6th November (Omicron permitting!) in Gizzy (Gisborne)
•   More of Ian Currie's old US old-car hunt photos from the past
•   Do you recognize anyone in this, yet another long-ago Taupo AGM photo?
•   Lots of fun items and catch-up news from around NZ and the globe
•   And as always, plenty of colour

As always, I'd love to receive your Cadillac adventure stories and photos together with a few words for publication. Email them to me at finzmagazineemail addresses not permitted If it is a particularly 'large MB shot' it has a greater chance of appearing on the front cover especially if it has character or a bit of flair. KIWI Caddies for consideration for the front cover. Email me yours now!

Until next issue, stay Covid and Omicron-safe out there!

Yours sincerely
