November
Saturday,
November 13: Milton
Robson auction by RM in
Gainesville
GA.
A group of Peach Staters is
hoping to snag some seats to this important auction to watch the
proceedings. Mr. Robson
is close friends with PSCLC member Dick Peden, and we have been to visit
the car collection several times. It
will be a nostalgic trip to watch Robson liquidate his cars, his building
and his property. RM’s web site says that admission will require the
purchase of the official auction catalog ($80). The
catalog admits two to the preview, a reception and the auction… $150 gets
two into both days, and registers them to bid. More on this activity as we
get closer to the date.
Questions or comments? Call Martina Butler at (678)

festive event!

This Month's Member Picture Gallery Car
Belongs To:
Paul and Gloria West - Marietta, GA
1986 Cadillac Fleetwood 75
Series Limo
Paul and Gloria West are the proud
owners of this 1986 Fleetwood ’75 Series Limousine.
Invited as guests to the exhibit of
Truitt Cathy, founder of Chick-Fil-A, we made the winning bid at a silent
auction held in March 2009.
The exterior is dark blue with dark
blue landau top, power moon roof and boomerang-shaped antenna. The
interior has dark blue rolled and tufted upholstery, additional jump seats,
air conditioning, courtesy lights and privacy sliding windows.
Although we did spend some money to fix
a few things, this has been a fun car to drive, and we’re enjoying being
a part of the Cadillac LaSalle Club.
I
need your car for the Members Picture Gallery!
Send me an email with picture(s) and a
small description of your car and I will post it here on the web
site. LHS36@aol.com
