What commenced out as a petite car demonstrate at Findlay Cadillac has blossomed into a colorful annual gathering of classic machinery drawing thousands of fans. The 12th annual Cadillac Through the Years is set for Sunday at Town Square Las Vegas.
Scheduled from eleven a.m. to five p.m., an estimated sixty to ninety classic Cadillacs will be placed along the streets of Town Square Las Vegas, six thousand six hundred five Las Vegas Blvd. South. When you throw in the fresh Cadillacs along with this year`s brand-new modified division of Cadillacs, it`s effortless to see why the display draws thousands of fans every year.
Introduced in conjunction with the Cadillac and LaSalle Club of Las Vegas, Cadillac Through the Years will include drawings and giveaways while also hosting bands that will play during the event. The classic vehicles commence in one thousand nine hundred two and showcase one hundred fifteen years of classic Cadillacs. The addition of the modified division will attract a junior audience.
“It`s truly amazing what has taken place with Cadillac Through the Years,” Findlay Cadillac General Manager John Saksa said. “The showcase is colorful, it`s educational and having it at Town Square Las Vegas is brilliant.”
Key, too, is the fact that Findlay Cadillac has seen a definite increase in sales at the dealership with attention peaking as each Cadillac Through the Years nears.
“I have been to almost every one of them,” said sales manager Jason Clouse. “They`re absolutely unbelievable and very well assembled considering that there are classic Cadillacs along with fresh Cadillacs. It`s neat to see how people react to both the classics and the fresh vehicles. We actually have 7- or 8-year-old kids looking at the cars.”
Past Cadillac and LaSalle Club of Las Vegas President Colin Christie will bring two Cadillacs to the showcase including a one thousand nine hundred seventeen convertible and a one thousand nine hundred twenty eight sedan.
“This is a labor of love,” said Christie, who took an early retirement in two thousand one after working for General Mills for thirty five years. “I joined the Las Vegas Cadillac LaSalle Club and commenced looking for a car.”
Another very interesting vehicle that will be on display is a one thousand nine hundred forty Cadillac Series seventy five that was reportedly possessed by the legendary Howard Hughes.
Dealership marketing and promotions director L.J. Corset, a drummer who has performed for fifty five years, has invited some of his close friends from the Las Vegas entertainment family to stop by and perform.
“You never know who might showcase up,” Corset said. “Just to name a few, the King of Diamonds, Rob Garrett, the nationally acclaimed Neal Diamond tribute artist; along with R&B artist Bobby Wilson, the son of the late, fine Jackie Wilson, will also be performing; and Paul Shortino, one of the rock starlets from the Las Vegas headlining display ‘Rating the Rock Vault` at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino, will be stopping by to say hello.
“Rumor has it that my good friend Chris Phillips, alias Zowie Bowie, will be making an appearance, along with several other Las Vegas celebrities. Cadillac Through the Years is flawless for prominent entertainers.”
