I get comments from all over the world that
I would love to share with you all. Most are thankful for all the information
that is here and some want to share pictures.
Hi Vinny
I love the site, I own an 81 Deville, one of those ones with the 368 fuel
injected, and econo system. It still needs a paint job, but I have been
restoring the old girl back to her former glory. Tomorrow, weather
permitting, I will be taking it out for it's first run since it has been
certified, insured and plated again. There may be a few bugs to iron out,
since it has been sitting for 7 years, 2 of them with me owning it and
fixing it up. I will send you some pics of it soon. Thanks.

I have found a 57 Eldorado Brougham. Body
number off the the Fisher plate is # 384. I was amazed to see it, I knew
nothing about the car until this afternoon. It belongs to someone I know and
may go for sale in the future.
It is an un-restored car from California. No visible rust, the interior is
in nice condition, the bat-wing air cleaner sits on the twin 4-barrels.
The stainless roof is impressive.
The owner has others, including a Series 60 car with twin bullet tailights,
maybe a ' 58.
I just wanted people to know that # 384 has been found, you can put it down
as alive and in good shape.
From New England,

Hi Vinny....I just bought a 62 Deville to
restore and found your site through Google, but wanted to share a FANTASTIC
parts site that I found. It's
www.rockauto.com. Well laid out and I am NOT affiliated with them, just
found the parts that I needed including part numbers. All you members should
know about it, but I don't know how to "get it known".
Thanks

My name is Tony, I've just joined your club. I have a 1974 Cadillac
hearse.I didn't keep it a stock car, I've done some hot rod mods to it. I
also have a 67 coupe deville, that one will remain mostly stock. I don't
have any pictures to add just yet (our camera is acting up). I do have
pictures of my hearse on my myspace(www.myspace.com/deadsled74 ). there are
pictures of my 76 and 74 on there. I've driven hearses for the last 11 yrs-
and I can't imagine driving anything but an old Caddy!

Hello Vinny,
I’m a
Cadillac enthusiast from
Mexico and I would like to share some
pictures of our 50 and 52 cadys that my wife and I are restoring. I saw some
excellent pictures from the site that are very interesting to follow the
correct way to rebuild the cars.
Thanks and
best regards.

Hey Vinny,
Thanks for your e-mail newsletter & I think your site is the BOMB!! I just
purchased my dream ride; a 1972 Coupe de Ville. My Pops had one when I was
younger and I just loved the thing; told myself that one of these day I must
own one. Now I do! I got it from the second owner and he didn't even drive
it that much. The beast only has 76000 original miles on it. The first owner
bought it new from a dealer in Carmel, CA. as a third vehicle and drove it
very little(on weekend I have found out, I was able to contact the original
owners Son and found this info out) He passed away and the car sat in
storage for 8 years before the second owner bought it with plans of
cutomizing it. Well, 8 months passed and he found that he already had enough
custom collector cars and very little time, so he offered it to me for a
song(just $1050; which was just a token ammount since this guy is like a
millionaire) anyway its mine now and it seems it was meant to be. I'm
looking to do a bit of resto work on it, not much is needed, the body is
straight with no dents or scratches/nicks. The paint is original brown that
im not really a fan of and plan on repainting, also I'm going to put a new
top on it(got a quote of $5-$600), the interior is in good shape(tan
leather) except for the back seat where the 1st owners dog liked to ride.
Some scratchs but no tears; which brings up a question of what color should
I go with on exterior or what would be the cost of reupholstering. I do want
to keep it as close to original as possible, but then again I'm not a big
fan of the brown. No 22s, no air-bag suspension, no candy paint, no big-box
pavement pounders(get my drift?). I hope that I can meet other classic cadi
owners around my area (Lake Tahoe,NV.) to cruise with and hope also to talk
with other owners about theirs and get advise on the resto matters.
Keep up the good work,
Enjoy'n the ride.....Derek Miller
