CLC Florida Reunion

[Big Fins]

What gives? Did anyone show? Are y'all having too much fun to post at least a few teaser pictures? The excursions must be wearing everyone out.

I had to miss 90% of it due to work requirements. Thanks, Navy! 

I will be down in Melbourne this morning to see and meet some of the group. Hope everyone is having fun!

Yes we have been busy talking with each other and not taking pictures. I has been a good time and I am so glad I finally got to meet some people in person from here.

BTW NICE 69 Fleetwood!!!

[Big Fins]

WOW! Great time! A fairly large group came over. I saw some old friends and met some new ones.

Thanks for that Mark. You can bring yours next time.

Very nice car John.


I have pics but its a process for me to get them on the computer to post.

Only one Cadillac (73 pace car) at the Mecum museum, and none at the Don Garlits museum. There were some ad the NPD museum.

I wasn't expecting any really at a 'Muscle Car Museum', but he did have some nice vintage cars there. I'm pretty sure post pix of those here would be out of line and like Mike said, transferring them from the phone to the laptop is a pain. I just don't do forums on that little screen.

Were there a few Cadillacs brought by members to the hotel for a little private show?

Thanks

I always get too into looking and always forget to take pictures.

Yes, thanks for posting the pics!

I took north of 600 pictures. Many were posted to my Facebook page then shared to the 63/64 Cadillac Facebook page which you can see at this link: https://www.facebook.com/6364Cadillac

Here is one picture from the National Parts Depot car museum:


Here is one picture that gives a glimpse inside the expansive Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum:


Here is one picture of dozens of engines on display at the Don Garlits Drag Racing  and Auto Museums:


Here is one view inside the Don Garlits Auto Museum:



Here is the lobby/entrance of the American Muscle Car Museum owned by Mark Pieloch.



Here is the main collection of 375 + cars (150 with less than 300 miles) at the American Muscle Car Museum.



And one of our Big President Glenn Brown, who even gets dwarfed by this collection!

Thanks to Richard, Lynn and Jason for the pictures of the CLC Reunion tours.

WRT muscle car museum, true, but a 1959 Skyliner is NOT a "muscle car" nor was the Sunliner nor were the several 80s "non muscle cars" there, including a Dodge cobra whatever with some 120hp from the mid 80s.

Through the 50s and 60s, especially the late 60s, our Cadillacs had more HP than many so called "muscle cars" of the era - unless the other car had the top optioned engine.

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

There were many "non-muscle" cars but the quality was uniformly excellent and it is claimed that each vehicle can be driven at a moment's notice. Ample paved areas allow cars to be driven without ever having to be taken out on public roadways.

I will also say thank you to the event organizers including Cynthia Rutledge, Ronnie Hux, Tim Coy, Dave Leash (great shirts & hats - GM Club Apparel), Cadillac Motor Car Company for hosting the Wednesday dinner & reception and the First Lady of Cadillac Events Marsha Redman. 

We had a blast.  Loved the museum & private collection tours, appreciated being able to see our CLC friends again, staying in an excellent hotel venue (free drinks from 5:30 to 7pm plus a hot buffet breakfast) and everything else that made it a great time.
