1957 Cadillac Pictures From New Zealand

This week I want to feature 1957 Cadillacs. I got the urge for this Cadillac year after Wayne from New Zealand sent in some beautiful pictures of his 1957 Cadillac that is restored to original condition. Here is Wayne’s email to me along with a page to the rest of his pictures.

Hi Vinny,

I bought this 57 Cadillac in March 2010 which was imported to New Zealand from the US. I have done a lot of mechanical work on it to bring it up to a road worthy state. It is totally original apart from the wheels and is in excellent condition. More photos to follow. Hope to hear from more Cadi fans.

What Year Is This Cadillac

By Vinny O'Hare

Got an email last week from Michael in Sweden who asked for help identifying the Cadillac that his father owned when he was a kid. I will include two pictures of this Cadillac. Michael seems to think it is a 1949. I am not so sure after doing a little research I am thinking its older. The front bumper does not match a 1949 757 passenger or at least I can tell. Michael remembers that the Cadillac has 4 doors.

Please help Michael try to figure this out. Leave a comment and take a guess if you want and I will help him find out what it is. There is no wrong answer and we can use all the help we can get.

Cadillac Forum

Our Cadillac Forum is slowly getting more action. I was hoping it would take off faster but it isn’t going anywhere and I am pleased with its progress. If you haven’t joined yet come on over and join in on the fun. I hope to see you there soon. If you see a category that should be there I am all ears. I want it to be the best Cadillac Forum on the internet.

Road Hogs Book Review

By Vinny O'Hare

From time to time I get books to review in exchange for doing a write up, the other day I received a copy of Road Hogs by Eric Peters to review and I am very impressed. The book is 160 pages filled with images and information all about the big cars of the day. Once I opened the book I couldn’t put it down. Although the book isn’t all about Cadillacs the amount of Cadillacs in the book is a lot. There are over 165 color images of these big cars with many of them Cadillac. Needless to say I was very happy.

The author certainly has a passion about big cars from the 1960’s and 1970’s, the decades that GM built this big cars. The Cadillac on the cover really tells you what the book is about. Like I said above this book is filled with Cadillacs. There are pictures and information on Cadillac Eldorados, Eldorado Biarritz, Cadillac convertibles, Coupe Devilles, Sedan Devilles Fleetwood sixty or 75 limo’s.

The Eric’s passion for big grills and big V-8 power is evident in all the cars he picked out to write about, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am a fan of these cars also so I enjoyed seeing them. I actually learned a few things that I didn’t know. Some of the other cars he writes about are the Pontiac Catalina, Buick Electra, Buick Riviera, Chevy Monte Carlo, and one of my favorites the Chrysler Cordoba.

If you want to buy the book you can order the book through Amazon and when you do our site makes a buck or two which helps pay for our web hosting. Road Hogs: Detroit’s Big, Beautiful Luxury Performance Cars of the 1960s and 1970s.
