*  * The Cadillac Big Meet 2008 : a double celebration ! *  *

The 5th Cadillac Big Meet at Schloss Kremsegg, Kremsmünster, Austria
Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The European Cadillac Big Meet in Austria has been held since 2004 with ever growing success, both in number and quality of the cars at the show.
Last year, it’s safe to say that we had one of the most exciting Cadillac- and even car-related weekends we have ever experienced !
Also the cruising tour on Saturday, the day before the meeting, was one big success, and one of the nicest ever, if not the nicest. So now our job is to surpass your expectations for 2008 â€" our fifth edition and perhaps the most exciting one yet.

This year, we are looking at the Cadillacs of the Sixties as a special theme, and these cars, from a befinned 1960 to a sweet 1969 are welcomed in a reserved area at the Kremsegg castle park.
Of course, we once again would like to welcome all the fantastic Cadillacs of all other types as well, fully restored or all-original, old and new alike, to come to visit the Kremsegg Castle this Sunday the 24th of August 2008.
So, come by with your nicest Cadillac car and join us in celebrating our fifth meeting.
In order to emphasize our growing success and establishment as the Cadillac Meeting for Europe, open to all enthusiasts from Europe and beyond, we have adopted the name Cadillac Big Meet for a few years now, and we hope you will join us in Kremsmünster !

But the exciting news doesn’t end there â€" we will once again have a lot of new things going on, there will be more car presentations during the day and as usual there will be lots of things to see and do for kids from all ages…

On Saturday 23rd of August, the Kremsmünster event kicks off with a cruise through the scenic countryside. Participation is limited to 30, and it is once again going to be a cruise to never forget, this time accompanied by an evening Dinner and a Boogie Woogie Show, which will be repeated on Sunday as well.
So, register early for the cruise!

But the big day will be Sunday 24th when Cadillacs meet in the Park of the Kremsegg Castle. All years are welcome and we expect a great turnout for our first lustrum!
Important to note is that everybody is welcome, no pre-registrations are necessary (except for the Saturday cruise of course).
There will be a separate VIP parking place on the event area for all visitors arriving with other American cars.
The Big Meet is also free for visitors â€" good to know if your Cadillac is being restored, or if you still haven’t come across that dream car you’re lusting after…
This proves to become an even more exciting show, once again more Cadillac collectors will be present, and the participation of Cadillac clubs from several surrounding countries has been guaranteed.

Auto Günther, our main sponsor, will have all the new Cadillacs on display and you can testdrive one of these new babies.
You can also win a Cadillac for one whole day!

Kremsmünster is located about 30km southwest of Linz, Austria.
