Lake Country Cruisers February 2022 Car Show

Published on February 19, 2022March 22, 2022 by corvettes

Dateline: 2.18.22 – After weeks of mostly crummy weather, what a delight it was to have a classic Winter-in-Florida beautiful day. By around 1 pm it actually started to get to be low-80s warm, yea, just the way we like it!

Using our military-grade crowd-estimator, the data showed that Dick and Marilyn’s 1931 V12 Cadillac was by far, THE crowd favorite! They had more people around their car than anything else. This big beast of early 1930s Cadillac luxury is a visual feast!

I’d venture to say that most of the crowd hasn’t seen a car such as this in a long time, if ever. I know it wasn’t easy getting this old beauty to run, but Dick, you got it done. Hope to see your old Caddy again soon. Continue reading “Lake Country Cruisers February 2022 Car Show” →

Bring Your American Flags This Saturday!

Let’s Festoon the American Legion With American Flags!

Dateline: 2.10.22 – Hey Cruisers, this popped into my head the other day, and it will be SO EASY to do.

The Highlands County area has a rich car culture, especially considering how rural it is here. “Car Culture” as we know it, is a uniquely “American” creation and we are all part of it. (yes, we like foreign cars too)

Lake Country Cruisers has the perfect place for American Car Culture, the Lake Placid “American” Legion, Post 25. And we always start our show with our 11 am Pledge of Allegiance.

So, if you are planning to be at this Saturday’s Lake Country Cruisers Car Show, BRING SOME AMERICAN FLAGS!
