CATHARINES – Owning a nice big classic car is great, but it has its drawback. “One of the bad things about owning a big car is you always have to clean it,” said Cuttell, who was busy Friday afternoon dusting off her 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz at the 17th annual GM Show ‘n’ Shine at the automaker’s Glendale plant. Cuttell was one of just a little more than 400 classic car enthusiasts who attended the event. , resident said, adding that she also is the owner of a 1957 Chevy Belair. “I’ve had the car for three years,” she said, adding that the bright red coupe is driven regularly to shows such as the GM event. It’s a car he has owned since he bought it brand new in Canada’s centennial year. “I just had to paint it once about 13 years ago,” he said, adding that the paint job restored the car’s original black finish. And he still drives the car regularly in the summer, he said. Most of the cars at the show were GM nameplates, according Todd Barclay, a member of the show committee. “We have Chevys, Pontiacs, Buicks,” he said. But there was more at stake than just simply showing off vehicles, Barclay said. “They’re ranging from most radical, best Chevy, best Buick and more,” he said. Source: www.niagarathisweek.com
