For a planned make-up of an October rainout, the group met Saturday the 7th of November at the Sonic Drive-In on Highway 92 near Trickum Road in Woodstock . We had hot dogs and shakes, chicken sandwiches and fries – what else would you do at a drive-in? Chuck, the owner-manager, said he was a Cadillac guy himself. Chuck invited the club to make his two Sonics our regular meeting place. He offered us ice for our tours and meetings (in exchange for us using his place as a rallying point). Next time we give him a try, we will get his membership application on the spot!

By 1:00 PM we were ready to depart: Lee and Mary Jean Dunn (’57 sedan, Geraldine); Frank and Martina Butler (’64 Eldo convertible, Big Blue); Sandy Partridge (’76 CDV, Monica); Jack and Donna Hurley and son Eric (recent vintage Cadillac); Bob and Judy Winchell (’76 Mirage); and Doug Bailey (’66 SDV). Lee led the way up I-575 about an hour to the Panorama Farmer’s Market. It was a popular place! In the lot were scores of motorcycles in groups of eight and ten, and a LOT of families out exploring a beautiful Fall afternoon in the mountains. We of course received a huge dose of much appreciated “Thumbs Up!” And a few road hogs with little concern for the stopping distances our big cars need…  Inside the packed farmer’s market, we loaded up with apples, apple butter, pies, and fudge. Back in the cars by 3:30, Sandy led us on to Blue Ridge , another hour out Rte 515. We lined ‘em up near Main Street , then fanned out to explore. Main Street is a narrow, quaint thoroughfare lined with coffee and gift shops. After an hour or so sipping coffee and spelunking for a bargain, we gathered at the Serenity Garden Café for – what else? – a serene meal. Lobster bisque, crab cakes, pasta dishes, even fish ‘n chips. An enjoyable and peaceful dinner among good friends…

About 6:00 PM we got back in line and Sandy led us to the Swan Drive-in for a first-run release of Jim Carey’s “A Christmas Carol.”   Sandy had worked out a special spot for us with the management, so we were “front and center” for the show. Little did we old timers know that there’s a new practice at the old drive-in these days: You BACK YOUR SUV into the space so the kids can bunk out AND watch the movie! I saw parents facing the food court, backs to the movie, while their kids were camped out in the back of the vehicle… We watched the movie the old-fashioned way, nose first, in a lineup of Caddies that were undoubtedly the envy of all the adults in the audience. The kids? They were probably scared to death by the ghosts of Christmases past, present and future! It’s a good flick, and one I want to see without headlights flashing on the screen.

Most or all of us left the theater after the first movie, facing a two-hour drive home. The Winchell's got out ahead of us and we never saw them again (although I know they made it home safely). The Dunn's and Hurley's split off for Waleska. Frank and Martina were left in our wake, as Sandy and I tooled merrily home averaging about 65 mph on 515 and I-575. I was home by 10:30, and I assume the others were close to that as well. The word I got was that all the cars performed flawlessly.

I believe I am joined by ten others who offer our hearty thanks to Sandy for arranging and leading our marvelous Fall tour of the north Georgia mountains and movie theater…

The Annual Peach State CLC Spring Driving Tour:  April 9 - 11, 2010

You don’t want to miss this trip!

2010 DRIVING TOUR

Autos and Architecture in Alabama

April 9 – 11, 2010

 

Think you know Alabama? Think again! Join us for a glorious drive through northern Alabama: see historic towns in the Tennessee River valley like Gadsden, Decatur and Florence, Alabama; see amazing architecture by world renowned architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Paul Rudolph; drive through Alabama’s Lake district and visit Huntsville, the birthplace of America’s aerospace industry.  Alabama has 20th Century modern homes and buildings that are awesome; we will go inside art deco and Frank Lloyd Wright houses. Lake Como in Italy has nothing on Lake Guntersville. And every highway we take is scenic with old houses, roadside architecture, vintage cars and classic junkyards galore. We’ll stop at some vintage car dealers, visit historic houses and eat authentically delicious southern cooking and Alabama barbecue from local cooks which chain restaurants could never touch.

We plan to leave at 8:30 a.m. on Friday April 9 and return on Sunday, April 11, 2010.  Details of the driving tour and signup sheets will be posted on our web page.

Our event chairman is Terry Bird

 November 2009 Member's Picture Gallery Car Belongs To: 
Alan Grist of Ringgold, Georgia


1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible


(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)



 

My passion for Cadillacs began as a youth with the TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard".  Each week I looked forward to seeing Boss Hogg's big white Cadillac convertible.  I bought this, my first Cadillac, in the summer of 1986.  I spent that summer restoring the car and have enjoyed it ever since.

 


 

 

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
