Orleans County, Vermont, includes the hometown of Henry Leland, who founded both Cadillac and Lincoln. So, it comes as no surprise that in an effort to create some publicity for the upcoming county fair, organizers hope to achieve the Guiness World Record for the largest parade of Cadillacs.

The New York Times reports that the idea was the brainchild of Lorie Seadale, who decided on giving the record a try after reading the the current record was just 102 cars. The idea also appealed to Leland's great, great nephew, David, who still lives in the area.

"Since there is a record, we feel it ought to be in Vermont," he told the Times over the phone. "It is a great opportunity to recognize some of his accomplishments."

The parade is set to hit Route 5 in Vermont on August 17, and by all accounts the record should fall. There are about 3,200 Cadillacs registered in Vermont, so attracting the number will likely not be a problem.

Cadillac itself has also gotten involved in the parade, as they have said they will put forward the $6,500 it takes to have a Guiness representative come and authorize the record.
