Classics

Many times readers send me in stories of their Cadillac and how they bought it and restored in and such. I love the stories as they are all personal and unique to that person. Some people like to spend their kids inheritance on a 1959 Cadillac. Can’t say I blame him at all.

With many jobs being lost here in the USA it is nice to see we are actually exporting products to China. Just read a story about Cadillac selling Cadillac SLS and CTS Coupes. You may find this interesting as well. Selling Cadillacs in China.

Since we are talking about Cadillacs and being built I found a site online that has a great picture of the Cadillac Motor Car Company from 1908

If you were lucky enough to catch this car show it must have been great. On Sept 12th the Soboba Casino held its third annual Low Rider Car & Bike Show on the Soboba Indian Reservation brought top professional and amateur custom car clubs in Southern California, USA.

If you like classic sunny summer days, hot cars, beautiful automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, live entertainment, good food, and lots of cold hard cash being spread around, then Soboba was definitely the place to be for Soboba-style family entertainment in Riverside County. Check out the 1940s Cadillac. It looks like a great show to add to your list if you live out in California.

Speaking of Car shows in California Corona Del Mar Car show this past weekend that had many many classic cars.

I have been on a kick lately finding classic Cadillacs either for sale or up for auction. This one is one of the best I have found as it is a 1903 Cadillac. This car is in the best shape I have seen for an early Cadillac model. it has a 6.5 hp, 98.2 cu. in. horizontal single-cylinder engine, two-speed planetary transmission, solid front axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and single chain drive, dual differential-mounted brakes. Wheelbase: 72″. It really is a beauty and I will be watching to see how much money it goes for.

I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend!   I just saw an event in the Baltimore -Washington DC area that I would like to attend. The Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region are having a gathering of Classic Cadillacs at Capitol Cadillac in Greenbelt Maryland on Sunday October 24th. They have two events a year and this fall meet up is featuring Fleetwoods.

Just taking a look around the site it looks like a great event, you can read more on the Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potamac Region website. I will have to look at my schedule and maybe hop on the Amtrak for the event. I love Fleetwoods, last year we had a beautiful 1957 Fleetwood featured on our site.  Since then every time I think of Fleetwood’s now I think of that beauty. If you are in the area I suggest you take in the event it looks like a lot of fun. For directions and more details visit Capitol Cadillac of Maryland. I hope to see you there.
