The Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region will be participating in the 2016 Washington Auto Show, which runs from January 22-31 at the Washington (DC) Convention Center. The highlighted area on the map shows our designated space. We are looking for classic Cadillac & LaSalle enthusiasts to stop by and see the cars on display and learn about our club!

Thanks again to Daniel Jobe for arranging a booth for us at the 2016 Washington Auto Show. Thanks to Franklin Gage, Randy & Susan Denchfield and Chuck & Debbie Piel for getting the booth set-up yesterday. We are in Hall C next to the Jeep display, which has a full-blown obstacle course embedded in it.  We are ready for the show's opening tomorrow!

We have four cars on display:

• Charles Gillet's 1931 Cadillac V-16 All-Weather Phaeton
• Randy & Susan Denchfield's 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Club Coupe
• Mark E. Brodsky's 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
• Chuck & Debbie Piel's 1967 Cadillac Deville Convertible

It is a nice assortment of eras, colors and body styles.

Thanks to the volunteers who will be staffing the area including Franklin Gage, Sandy Kemper, Arianna Tuwiner, Chuck & Debbie Piel, Sam & Karen Jackson, Dan Ruby, Harry Scott, Larry Lane, Randy & Susan Denchfield, Chris Overcash, Denise King, Bill Harrison and Mike Kerwin.

Hope members can attend the auto show.  It runs from Friday, Jan 22nd - Sunday, Jan 31st.

Wish I could come down to say hello but not with this snow storm!  Hope to see everyone in the spring

Hey Tim, the show runs for 10 days (over two weekends).  Everything should be cleared by next weekend.  Hope to see you then.

What a nice display and idea to be featured at the Washington, D.C. Auto Show! Hopefully, it will get more members for your region and spark more interest in the Cadillac brand!

Vince, local news just announced that the Auto Show opening  is delayed until noon Monday. Snow total updated to 24-30 inches. We don't handle snow real well in DC. Everyone stay warm and indoors.

Hi Lynn,

I saw that.  Good move, especially since the Metro system will be shutting down starting later today thru Sunday. 

Be safe. 

Vince

Our space at the 2016 Washington Auto Show was ready for the show’s opening on Friday, January 22nd. But then the snow arrived, 30+ inches in some areas, forcing the opening of the show to be delayed until Tuesday, January 26th. When the show did open, attendees were greeted by four classic Cadillacs on display: Charles Gillet’s 1931 V-16 All-Weather Phaeton, Randy & Susan Denchfield’s 1949 Series 62 Club Coupe, Mark E. Brodsky’s 1966 Fleetwood Brougham and Chuck & Debbie Piel’s 1967 Deville Convertible, in addition to the volunteers who staffed the area including Franklin Gage, Sandy Kemper, Arianna Tuwiner, Chuck & Debbie Piel, Sam & Karen Jackson, Dan Ruby, Harry Scott, Larry Lane, Randy & Susan Denchfield, Chris Overcash, Denise King, Bill Harrison, Mike Kerwin and others. Thanks again to Daniel Jobe for arranging a booth for us, to Franklin Gage, booth coordinator, to the volunteers who staffed the booth and to the owners of the vehicles on display.
