July 2009
July
11, 2009
: Dalton
Cruise-In
In June we cruised to Tucker, had lunch, and lined up on the street for
their big cruise-night. Great fun. So, we decided “let’s try it in
Dalton
!” We have at least ten members living north of
Woodstock
, and five of us closer to ATL. We figure
Dalton
is within reach for 15-20 members and their Cadillacs. Let’s show ‘em
what a lineup of Caddies looks like! The Cruise-In is in downtown
Dalton
,
North Hamilton Street
. It goes from 5:00 to dark. Saturday July 11th!
The PLAN: Meet at 1:45 PM
for lunch at the Cracker Barrel off I-75 in Cartersville. Exit #290 in
Cartersville. Rally at the restaurant, eat, leave about 3:00 PM and caravan
up Highway 41 together. Arrive in
Dalton
by 4:00 PM.
Directions: Head
toward downtown
Dalton
(in Dalton Hwy 41 is called
Thornton Avenue
). Go east on
Morris Street
.
North Hamilton Street
. is two blocks east of Hwy 41. Parking begins there and goes north
on
Hamilton
for four or five blocks on both sides. They have had as many as 200
cars. When the front street is full, people park on the side streets as
well. We need to be there early! Eats and Drinks: The Dalton Depot is
right in the heart of town, within easy walking distance from anywhere at
the Cruise-In. There are also three or four other bars and grills. Bring
a cooler if you want. Questions?
Before July 11th, call Stan at home (770) 973-7387 or mobile (404)

The July 2009 Member's Picture Gallery Car
Belongs To:
Emerson Duke of Greer, South Carolina
(Emerson is the Club's Technical Advisor)
1941 Cadillac Series 63
(Each month a different Peach State CLC member's car will be
featured. So, take a digital picture of yours and send it, along with
a brief write-up, to the Web Page Designer)

Emerson's 1941 Series
63 Cadillac (7341973) was shipped Feb 10, 1941 to Capitol Cadillac Co. in
Washington DC. Finished in color #61, a two-toned Fairoaks and ElCentro
green, it had a base dealer cost of $1155.60. "T" was the addition of
Hydramatic (first year in Cadillac) for $95, dealer cost. The radio and
antenna was an additional $43, day-night mirror $2.25 and a "back up
light loose" for $2.50. The back up light on this car IS different
from the published Cadillac unit for 1941. What happened? Was there a
shortage? We may never know. There was another unknown option for $6.35
(Trico windshield washer? - the jar was evidently allowed to freeze and is
not there, along with the strap around the bottom), fog lights at $9.75
(since removed), shipping at $50.46, "EOH" (heater, special
steering wheel and economy axle) at $50 and "adv" at $18,
bringing the total dealer cost to $1442.06. The consumer MSRP was $1695
without options - a profit margin of 32% that today's dealers would covet!
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
