Cascade Classic Rally & Tour - CCR&T

09/20/2026

Here is a story that follows up on our dinner discussion last weekend.

About $570 billion worth of cars is set to change hands between now and 2040. What does that mean for the collector market?

Thank you to our 2026 dinner speaker Brown Maloney who opened his collection to us and Ken Kelly of the Kelly Antique Car Museum for being a part of our CCR&T event this year. Visiting unique private car collections and hearing from passionate owners like Brown and Ken add variety and special opportunities to view automobiles we seldom see in person.

Several months ago I submitted our event to Bring a Trailer BAT. I forgot to check it until now. They did a nice event listing for us. https://bringatrailer.com/event/cascade-classic-rally-tour-sequim-wa/

One of our 2026 CCR&T stops will be at the historic Dungeness Schoolhouse. Unfortunately, it will not be open for tours but we can look in the windows! You may be aware that Liz and I live in a school converted into our family home in 1993.

Participants in the 2026 CCR&T have been sent their pre-event Packet via email. It has a full schedule and instructions on where we will meet for the orientation on Friday, September 11th. Let me know if you did not receive this.
