Welcome to Airstreams Return to Cadillac II
On June 29, 1966, the 9th International Rally was held in the small town of Cadillac, Michigan. A whopping 2828 Airstreams gathered for a week just south of the Wexford County Airport and was said to be one of the largest rally. According to WBCCI/WBAC Historian, Bob Peplinksi in an article written for the Blue Beret in February 2018:
“The nearly 10,000 attendees doubled Cadillac’s population for the duration of the rally! The rally theme was ‘Funderland’ to highlight the promise of fun in all of Michigan’s wonderlands, including lakes Cadillac & Mitchell, just a short distance from the rally site.”
