I just saw the trailer for the new movie staring Beyonce Knowles that is coming out in December, you may be wondering what that has to do with Cadillac. Just bear with me for a second, the movie is called “Cadillac Records”.
Although the trailer is short there is a bunch of old Cadillacs in the movie. It looks like some late 1950’s Cadillac’s to be exact although it was hard to tell from the trailer. The basis of the movie is about musicians selling so many records you can afford a Cadillac. Since the movie is all about stars like Chuck Berry and Etta James the movie will be filled with Cadillacs from this era.
It will be worth going to see this movie just to see all the Cadillacs.
I am sure there will be a lot more interest in restoration of classic Cadillacs in the near future when the movie bring attention to what great cars these Cadillacs are.
In the next post I will have some more pictures of Cadillacs from the 1950’s as I am receiving a lot of picture request lately which is a good thing.
* On a side note I am looking for someone to take pictures at the Los Angeles auto show, If you are in the area and plan to attend please send me an email.
Good flick & cool Cadillacs- Vinny! Thanks for that. & to think my Dad had a ’56 Dark Navy Blue 4-door, now in the “where is that now” catagory. Hmmm.
Kavash that must have been a beauty, life is full of what ifs though, nothing you can do to replace the original one but maybe you can find one on ebay someday.
When I was 15 years old a friend of my dad came to visit us with his 53 fourdoor Cadillac.It had about 1000 miles on it .We were going to town five of us in this car and he made me drive it as he had not drove on muddy roads before .This was one big experince for me as all I drove before were tractors and a modle T .The thing that bothered me most was that I could not hear the motor running . The bottom of the car would drag on the bottom when the ruts got too deep .and there were four back seat drivers telling me and this new wonderfull Cadillac what to do .I have always liked Cadillacs ever since .I will be sure and see this movie george
