Cadillac/LaSalle show headed for Carefree

CAREFREE – Get those Cadillacs polished up, there’s a show in town.

The Desert Region Cadillac/LaSalle Club is hosting a car show from 9 a.m.‑3 p.m. in the town center March 25. There is no cost to attend.

“It’s a way for everyone to get their cars out,” said organizer Jay Breeze.

There were about 30 cars registered in the show last year with about 17 registered as of last Wednesday.

“They’re notorious last‑minute registers,” said Breeze, adding no LaSalles have been registered as of yet. Only Cadillacs and LaSalles are being accepted for this show.

The show also helps raise money for charity, specifically, The Ronald McDonald House. There will be a raffle held in conjunction with the show for two Cadillac bicycles with proceeds going to the charity. The winners do not have to be present to claim the prize.

Breeze owns five Cadillacs, his prize vehicle being a 1961 Flattop with a wraparound back window, one of only about 4,800 made.

LaSalles were designed by General Motors as a companion car to the Cadillac. Priced slightly cheaper than the Cadillac, the car was in production from 1927 to 1940 before being discontinued.
