I know it has been awhile since I sent out a newsletter, I have been busy but enough about that. I am looking forward to this week.
This week I am attending the New York Auto Show and will have a lot of pictures and videos of the new Cadillac Converg. I hate the name but love the idea of a practical Cadillac. If you can call it that, to me it’s a Chevy Volt in disguise – we will just have to wait and see if it ever goes into mass production. By the end of the week I promise I will have pictures and video.
UPDATES ABOUT THE 1959
There has been some facts about my last post about the 1959 Cadillac with the tv. It seems that this Cadillac is not what it was made out to be. As you can see from the responses on the post about the 1959 Cadillac. It seems to me that the nice folks over at the Imperial Palace got wrong information also. I have been corrected about this Cadillac from a few places. One Car-nection.com Cadillac database and the Cadillac Lasalle forum also had a post about MY wrong info. I can only post what I saw on the sign. This car seems to be something else then what that sign says.

Every once in a while I stumble across a vintage Cadillac that makes me jump up and say Wow. As you have seen on the main site there is a picture of a 1935 Cadillac 370-D Fleetwood Torn Cabriolet. This Cadillac sure did get my attention.
It was a jet glossy black piece of machinery that just screamed classic. The Caddy looked like it just came out of a show room floor. The big V-12 was the thing that provided this baby with a ton of power.
From the medalion near the car it said it won numerous awards including the 2005 Palm Beach Concours d’Elegance winner, 2003 Ameilia Island 100 Years of Cadillac, and the 2004 National Senior Grand First place. Like I said this car is a dream.
The car is currently sitting at the auto collections show at the Imperial Palace casino in Las Vegas. I was out there in early March and actually comped to see all the classic auto’s that are on display. There must be over 100 of them there at all times.

You may even see a picture of me, I couldn’t resist standing next to this classic.
