A Citroen Looking for a Home

I saw this the other day while driving down Peirmont Road From Creskill to Tenafly, NJ. It's a 1950's Citroen DS! Truly one of the great cars of the last century: it was ahead of it's time in so many ways. This one is sporting a big dent in it's rear door. The owner say's he needs to sell it because he no longer has a garage to keep it.

The Trophy Winner at the Bergen Museum's 2005 Car Show

The show came off great! About 30 cars showed up. The President of the Bergen Museum was very happy with the whole event and is already talking about next year's show. We will pick a date for 2006 in a few weeks.

I'll post more photos from the show as I get them developed. Feel free to post any suggestions for the next car show on the 'message board' to the left (launches slowly).

Car Show in Paramus Sould Be Great!

It's really coming together now. Big news is I think some cars from The Greater New York Citroen and Velosolex Touring Club will make an appearance. I spoke to one of the co-founders this week and he seemed pretty excited about the event. (There is an article about the club in this month's "Hemming's Sport Car and Exotic Magazine.") So far, about ten car clubs have expressed some interest in coming to the show.

In case you are just tunning in, I am organizing this year's Bergen Museum Car Show to be held on September 18th at the Bergen Mall in Paramus, New Jersey. It is part of the Bergen Museum of Art and Science annual Music and Art Festival. It is open to all makes, both domestic and import. This is my first car show. I have contacted many New Jersey/New York car clubs and have gotten a very warm response from most of them. How many actually turn out for the show remains to be seen but even if we get just a few cars from each club, it will result in a real nice show. I can't wait til the 18th!

If you would like to show your car at the Bergen Museum Car Show, you can contact me at davidjdiller@yahoo.com or just leave a message here in "comments." (Just remember cars need to arrive at the Bergen Mall no later then 9:30am)

Hope to see you there!
