LENNY'S GARAGE

3/21/2016

1 Comment

 
New member Bill Overend sent it along. There are two ’57 Series 62 Cadillac convertibles in there, and the owner claims 58 cars in all. They look to me to be all survivor cars, in original, unrestored condition. A treasure trove of old time parts and signs, and a place any gearhead would LOVE to explore for days on end…

A very unusual collector.  He hasn't detailed any of them.  They are a gold mine for some future collector, particularly with the stock pile of parts.  THIS is an interesting collection!   https://player.vimeo.com/video/139358538

NEWS FROM THE CHIEF JUDGE

Changes in Judging Rules – Now & 2017
By: William C. “Bill” Anderson, P.E.
 
The Cadillac & LaSalle Club Board of Directors approved a program in January 2015 authorizing significant changes in the judging of cars at CLC National Events. The Judging Committee is hard at work developing the procedures to implement these changes.
 
2016
The judging at the Grand National in Las Vegas in April and the Fall Festival in September embrace some of these changes including:


  • Cars entered in Touring are not excluded from a first place prize or forced to compete in the Primary Division if they score more than 92 points.
  • All judges’ scores are counted; no longer are the high and low judges’ results excluded when determining a car’s score.
  • Judges can collaborate with each other when judging cars.
  • Judges must attend a 2-hour seminar for training the day before cars are judged.
  • This is the last year for the Senior Division and the Senior Classes; in 2017 they will be included in the Primary Division.
 
2017
More changes will be phased in with the 2017 Grand National and Fall Festival Events including:


  • Cars up to 2007 can be entered in the Touring Class
  • Two different judging forms will be used in 2017 for Primary and Touring Divisions – one for cars in 1966 and before and different form for 1967 cars and after.
  • All cars that receive the required points for an award will receive that award regardless of the number of cars qualifying for a particular award.
  • Cars entered in the Primary Division can win a Senior, Senior Wreath or a Senior Crown award the first time they are shown if they achieve the points required – Senior Crown 99 to 100 points, Senior Wreath 97 to 98 points, and Senior 95 to 96 points. The medallions and adornments will continue, but there will be new trophies for these three Senior Awards. A special award will be awarded to Senior Crown cars that obtain 98 points or more when shown after achieving the Senior Crown prize..
  • A Specialty & Unique Division has been created for concept cars and special models, such as pickups and station wagons.
  • Modified cars will be judged in four classes – Hot Rods, Restomods, Mild Customs and Radical Customs – using procedures and judging forms specifically developed for them. First, Second, and Third prizes will be awarded in each class.
 
I will expand upon these and discuss other changes and topics related to judging in future News From the Chief Judge. If you have questions, please contact me.

The Franklin Museum

3/2/2016

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the Franklin Museum of Tucson.  Private collector, now passed, left a foundation of about 25 cars in three buildings.  Franklin produced cars 1902 - 1934, continued to build their air cooled engines, mostly aircraft, but including the engine for the Tucker, into the 70's.  Note some of the 50 fins on each cylinder in the engine photo, big part of the cooling system which also included a compressed air system over the engine.  Engines were 6, 8 & 12 cylinder, a four cylinder attempt failed.
 
These were extremely well built cars and were priced a slight notch below Cadillac.  Museum had several custom bodied cars, mostly chauffeur driven town cars, but also a couple of speedsters.  Several early models included a 1904, which I had seen running at the Tubac Collector Car Show a few weeks ago.  Early models had front hinged hoods.  It's a small museum but well worth a visit if you are ever passing through Tucson.
 
And then I have purchased the car in the last photo to go autocrossing with my son and grandson (in grandson's Lotus).  Had it hauled to Tucson today to Olde English Creations for some work before shipping it home.  1960 Austin Healey "Bug Eye" (or Frog Eye to the Brits) Sprite, full race, 1275 cc bored to 1350, fresh engine and many other components.  Last trip on the track was 1984.
