If you happen to own a Cadillac, pay attention, as you may help set a world record come August 17th of this year.
The small town of Barton, Vermont is setting a huge goal to host the world’s largest Cadillac parade ever assembled, which needs at least 103 Cadillac models to participate in a ride that will start at the town high school and end at the Orleans County fairgrounds. But like everything these days, there are a few hurdles.
For one, it will cost at least $7,500 plus travel expenses to have a Guinness adjudicator verify the record. Such required coin usually requires a sponsor, and while some tentative fundraising is currently in place, there are no guarantees their efforts will be enough. And though General Motors has been approached to help put together the event, no decisions have been made yet. If they do agree to fund the verification expenses, the company will get the naming rights to the 145-year-old grandstand at the county fairgrounds, along with the fuzzy feelings of making a dream of Barton possible.
So, if you want to be a part of possibly the largest Cadillac meet ever, visit the Orleans County Fair webpage for more information.
**Update: You don’t need to be a resident of Vermont to participate in the Cadillac parade.

Lorie Seadale, chairperson for the Orleans County Fair World Record Attempt for the World’s Largest Cadillac Parade in Vermont, August 17th, 2011.
I have been contacted by a representative of Cadillac. They are on board and supporting this event for the Guinness Records Fees. A BIG THANK YOU to Cadillac!
If you own a Cadillac you won’t want to miss this event! This is the first time this record has been attempted in the U.S. The current record (current as at the date of this note) is: A total of 102 Cadillac cars participated in a parade at the Cadillac Oldtimer Festival held in Leimuiderbrug, the Netherlands, on 18 August 2002.
Our event IS open to anyone from anywhere! We will also be hosting a Cadillac Car Show following the parade to the fairgrounds. Trophies will be awarded in the following Categories:
*Oldest
*Traveled the most distance to be here
*Peoples Choice
*Orleans County Fair Presidents Choice
*Leland Family Ancestors Choice
These trophies will each be one of a kind custom made for this event and sporting vintage Cadillac hood ornaments.
Also, to make this parade as festive as possible, and in keeping with the spirit and patriotic values with which Henry Leland lived his life, I have added to special awards categories:
*Most Festive Display of American Pride
*Best Dressed ~ Vintage/Period Clothing for Drivers and Passengers
The last two trophies will be VERY unique, custom made sporting vintage 1900’s
Cadillac moto meter hood ornaments.
Polish up that Caddy and come to Vermont for August 17th.
