There is always a lot to see at the Pomona Swap Meet, but in my opinion, never enough vintage Cadillacs. There is a group who shares that sentiment and will change that for us at the upcoming March 4th meet.  They are the Cadillac Kings – Inland Empire Car Club and they will be attending as our Featured Car Club.  They are a group of individuals who share a common enthusiasm for Cadillacs from the 1940s through the 1970s and they will be showing off some beautiful examples ranging from daily drivers and Sunday cruisers to award winning show cars.  As with most car enthusiasts, there are always a few projects in the works as well.

The Cadillac Kings Car Club’s members have more than 60 vehicles in several chapters in California, which include their main chapter, Los Angeles, as well as San Diego, Inland Empire, San Jose, Orange County, Long Beach and Antelope Valley.

Cadillac Kings enjoying a day together

There is also a chapter in Albuquerque, NM, which may be making a road trip soon to attend the club’s next big event; Cadillac Kings Spring All Chapter BBQ/Meeting, which is hosted by the Inland Empire Chapter. The BBQ is held on Saturday, February 25 at Fairmont Park in Riverside, CA, where the club plans to hang out with the other chapters for some good food, fun stories and a great time.

Many of the club’s members are regulars at the Pomona Swap Meet and as a club also participate in the Route 66 show, Dr. George Memorial Car Show, Mooneyes Xmas Party Show and many others. The car shows give them the opportunity to talk and enjoy the company of other people who share their passion for these great “sleds” and at the same time, contribute to the charities that are the beneficiaries.

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a member of the club you can meet them on the Main Aisle of the Vintage Show/Sale section on March 4th or attend a club meeting held the 2nd Sunday of every month at Jersey’s Pizza, 985 Kendall Dr., San Bernadino, CA. The club members pride themselves on not having a lot of rules, but rather enjoying a club that is for the members, where everyone has a say in events, issues and meetings.

Cadillacs ready for a cruise
