Cadillac needs a Restoration

By

1968 Cadillac Calais

This is not the way a Cadillac is suppose to spend its final days. Up near Seattle Washington “Bud O” a Cadillaccountryclub member let me know about this poor Cadillac that needs some love.

I hope there is someone out there that can make this 1968 Cadillac look like it once did. It looks like it needs a full restoration.

“At first glance, I thought this car had been underwater, what with it’s myriad water-based lifeforms clinging to its seals and all. Heck, there are even visible signs of green slime inside the windshield.”

See more or get in touch with the owner here.

On another note drinking and driving doesn’t mix

With July 4th right around the corner I don’t have to tell you that people will make the mistake of going to a BBQ and having drinks and then getting into their car and driving. This is a story that will just make you say HuH and she did it in a Cadillac which makes matters worse.

1950 Cadillac Deville Pictures

By

Sorry I havent been posting much lately. I took a trip out to Las Vegas where it seems that every other car I saw was a Cadillac. Besides doing some slot machines I was busy taking pictures.

I have had the honor of looking at some new pictures lately. William from California sent in some pics of his 1950 Cadillac Coupe Deville. She sure is a beauty.

It seems that more and more people have been contacting me lately with classic Cadillac questions. I don’t know the reason but I am glad that more people are restoring these Caddilacs back to their original form. It makes the site easier to work on when I have new people writing in.

On another note did anyone see the guy that drove his car from Chicago to New York on one tank of gas. He called his style of driving hypermiling or something like that. It was on the CBS early show. He claims that if you go slower and don’t use the brake as much you can save a lot of gas, but it causes you to get to your destination slower. Guess if you are not in a hurry it is a good thing. With the price of gas nowadays it can help save some money by trying it. You can see more here http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/19/earlyshow/main4107075.shtml

Vintage Cadillac Finds a New Home

By

I love it when there is a connection and a Cadillac finds a new home because of the site. Well it wasn’t all because of the site but we helped out a little here are the details.

Deb from Las Vegas went to a car show in Henderson Nevada and brought her Camera along (actually she never leaves home without it) anyway she took pictures of all the Cars there including a white 1964 Cadillac Hearse.

She is featured this month on the Cadillac Country Club homepage if you want to see this beauty. She was seen by Kaz of our sister site www.caddychat.com when Deb placed up some pics here Cadillac Hearse

The Caddys name is Miss Lilly and she is currently being shipped from Henderson Nevada to Austrailia. That is so cool, a new Home for a classic model hearse. All the way on the other side of the world.

Looking for some Vintage Cadillacs

I have been contacted by a Cadillac Dealer in Conneticut that is looking to put together some sort of meet up for the anniversary of the dealership. If you own a classic and want to participate shoot me an email and I will forward you what little details I have now. Could be lots of fun.
