Upcoming Events for 2020:
Cadillac Clinic! Saturday, January 25, 2020 from 11:00 AM til about 3:00 PM
Once again we have been invited to meet at Cadillac of Lake Lanier in Gainesville, 2355 Browns Bridge Rd, Gainesville, GA 30504. Please note that Marty Pecora, our dealership partner, will be bringing in one or more of his mechanics on a Saturday to help us lift our cars. Generally these are diagnostic projects, intended to show us how to look for issues and to help us make a To Do list for our collectible Cadillacs. On occasion we might have the opportunity to actually perform some work, like a brake adjustment. But mostly you will get up under your car and let folks who know more than you do to explain what they are seeing: Loose bolts, sources of leaks, wear on tires and suspension parts, etc. We will try to get four or five cars up on the lift, but it depends on what we are looking at. If you are selected for a spot in the lineup, please plan on bringing either a box of donuts or a box of coffee.
Self-check list. Please download and fill out the checklist by clicking the button, below. Your careful consideration will help us plan for the most activity for the most participants. First come, first served, although we reserve the right to organize the work in order to make the most of the lift and mechanics’ time. Send your checklist to Doug for review. He’ll let you know which order your car will be in.

February 1st: Chili Cook-Off: Peach State CLC always has a great turnout for our annual DAVE COMSTOCK chili cook-off. We counted nearly 50 members and guests last year. We usually arrive about 11 AM, although some get there earlier to help our host, Dick Peden, to get set up. We arrange a food table so it’s ready as the crockpots march through the doors in the arms of the chefs. We typically have about a dozen pots of chili heating up, filling Dick’s showroom with that welcome aroma. We’ve been really fortunate that most of our February dates have been bright, sunshiny days. Dick’s parking area will be lined up with classics and of course there’s all those #1 muscle cars and classics.
The chili is always terrific! We will let our judges go first, to sample all the batches. We rotate judges so we don’t have any cheating… 😉 Congratulations to last year’s (2019) winners:

- Mac Randall won Top Prize (with gifts of cooking utensils) with a red chili he’d never prepared before this day. Congrats Mac!
- Laura Coakley made a terrific white chili that everyone adored.
- Mark Nichols also brought a white chili that was popular. His crockpot was empty before the lunch was over.

It’s for motor vehicles only. As always, we will assemble at the Twin Oaks Shopping Plaza, 2853 East College Avenue, Avondale Estates, GA, 30032. The parade will start promptly at 2:30 PM. The Avondale Estates Police Department will lead us through the residential areas. It is acceptable to carefully throw wrapped candy to the kids who turn out to see the vintage cars. We ALWAYS get a terrific turnout of people on the curbs. The parade will end at a designated area blocked off of the cars and people, where light refreshments will be provided by the host club, the Early Ford V8 club. Area residents are invited to join us at the park for a closer look. There will be fifty or more cars from the AACA, Model A Restorers Club, Early Ford V-8 Club, Peach State Cadillac Club, and other antique car clubs. The Avondale Estates Homeowners Association is very supportive of this parade. It’s in their newsletter, and it’s on their website. Please wear your name badge and introduce yourself. We look forward to seeing you! Questions? Contact Lamar Hart, Easter Parade Chairman lamarhart@outlook.com (770) 496-9928.
May 1-3rd: Annual SPRING DRIVING TOUR to Warm Springs, GA — details coming soon!
June 9-14: Annual Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National in Kansas City, KS. Meet Registration opens online on January 10th, so don't delay. Hotel can be booked now.
Peach State CLC Members…
Our beloved former board member and activities guru, Lee Dunn, passed away unexpectedly last September. We participated in large numbers at the memorial service Lee’s wife Mary Jean hosted in Waleska on September 21, 2019. We miss Lee dearly, but we’re happy to report that Mary Jean is doing great – her health is coming back in leaps and bounds. She resumed driving on January 22nd after seven months of restrictions since her own heart issues last summer and fall.
As you make your plans for attending the Cadillac & LaSalle Club’s Grand National meet in Kansas City, KS this coming June 9th through the 13th we hope you will consider one stop along the way: Mary Jean is having a graveside service and a reception on Lee’s birthday, Sunday June 14, 2020 in their hometown – Bradford, Illinois. If you check out of the Grand National hotel on Sunday morning, June 14th, you can find your way to Bradford, IL in a little over six (6) hours, just in time for the service. This side trip would take you somewhat out of your way from the direct route home to Atlanta, but we think it would be well worth the extra six or so hours getting home, even if you have to spend the night in Illinois.
In case you want to check it out, here are the arrangements:
If you have questions, please send Doug Bailey an email and he will get you the answers. Doug’s email is: jdouglasbailey@bellsouth.net
