A technical glitch that had LCOC’s Western Region Website offline for about a week has resulted in the registration deadline for the Oct. 1 Big 4 American Luxury Car Potluck Picnic joint event being extended to Sept. 21.
Although this event has been very popular this year, as in the past, there are still some spots available, so get those classics ready for a great day of good food and tire kicking with friends.
The Big 4 Picnic is also open to club members and their family and friends who wish to socialize, but not display their collectable cars.
The picnic management rotates among the sponsoring clubs. This year LCOC is the lead organization assisted by the Southern California Cadillac & LaSalle Club, 2 Packard Clubs and the Southern California Imperial Owners, Inc.
