Mark your calendar for the first ever “Big Three” Meet at Laguna Niguel Regional Park, shelter 4 on Sept. 22nd. LCOC and the Cadillac & LaSalle Club will be joining the Southern California Imperial Owners, Inc. for a day of cars, food and fun! 

We hope that with the success of this first joint meet it will become a car club staple of the fall calendar every year! Who wouldn’t want to share a laugh or two with owners of the traditional top-of-the-line American classics? All Lincoln, Continental and Zephyr owners, family and friends are welcome. But reserve early because space is limited. Contact Marc Hampton at marc_hampton@hotmail.com, or Nanette Clark at nanetteclark@att.net and let them know you’ll be attending.

The Imperial Owners have invited us to their January BBQ in Palm Springs for the last few years, and the event always gets rave reviews. This year they’ve invited us, as well as the CLC, to their BBQ in Laguna Niguel. Click the link below for flyer and details.

Big 3 Flyer

Do you long for life before ZIP Codes or when Studebakers were still being built? Then your memory extends past 1963 when ZIPs and Beatlemania began,  Studebaker production ended and astronaut Gordon Copper flew the last Project Mercury mission. But for one day at least here’s a chance to awaken your inner ’60s time warp at a fun event this September. 

The Lincoln and Continental Owner’s Club – Western Region is cordially invited to attend the Savanna High School’s (Anaheim, CA) 55th Reunion Car Show at the Brea Mall, Brea, presented by the first graduating class of Savanna High School, on Saturday, September 29, 2018.  The exact location in “the second largest mall in Orange County” will be available at a later date. No pre-registration required; just show up.   Come at 8 a.m. for car placement, coffee and doughnuts. A “guest participant” trophy will be awarded to the favorite guest’s car by “people’s choice” balloting.  Members may contact Marv Wendt for additional information. I can hear that Beatles music already!

Attention members of the Lincoln and Continental Owners Club Western Region: Your board of managers is pleased to announce that the annual Wine Country Picnic and Car Event has been scheduled for Saturday  October 13th at the Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma.

Our own Jim Finley has been coordinating with winery personnel to make this another outstanding social activity for our club members. Anyone from LCOC  or the region regardless of location and their family and friends are welcome to attend. Here is your chance to  get your  non-member friends  who are interested in Lincolns  or perhaps own one  to join the fun.  Jim is coordinating all reservations so you will want to contact him right away to enable food and wine planning and a companion car activity to be completed in a timely manner.

Last year’s picnic was a huge success with LCOC able to bring our own food and enjoy the ambience and wine from Sebastiani.  Cost to members is still being evaluated. Check this space often for details and more news as it develops.
