New Cadillac

1950 Cadillac Deville Pictures

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

Cadillac at the 2008 New York Auto Show

By Vinny O'Hare

Yesterday I went to the 2008 New York Auto Show and am I glad I did. I learned more about the new Cadillac’s then I could have imagined. I took over 400 photos and did some sort videos that will be up on the site in a short while. Actually some videos are already up over on www.caddychat.com in the video section.

It seemed to me that Cadillac has been using their brains a bit and coming up with some stuff that is amazing. They had the concept car the “Provoq” which runs on hydrogen and electric ONLY. It even plugs right into your house or it charges with the solar panel on the roof. I think the Provoq is going to end up replacing the SRX at some point.

I chatted with almost every rep that Cadillac had there and let me tell you these nice people really know the features on these Cadillac’s. They were very nice to me and not because they had to be if you know what I mean.

The front grille opens and closes to let air in to cool the hydrogen cells. The bottom of the car is sealed off and so is the hubcaps. It really was amazing to watch the presentaion on this Cadillac. I think if they released it today it would be a hit and I am sure we would have more hydrogen stations by public demand.

The other model they had on display was the CTS concept Cadillac which has a huge powerful engine. Sleek styling and more features then I can remember. I liked the doors the best as it was keyless.

I wish I had the time to upload all the pictures but that will take a few days at the least.

Inside the 2008 Cadillac CTS

On this blog I want to try to keep up with what the New Cadillacs are up to as well as show some cool vintage Cadillacs. I try to make everyone happy and that is tough. This one is about the 2008 Cadillac CTS. I am sorry if you are a vintage Cadillac guy like me but I can’t control myself this Cadillac is Hot.

When I first read about the changes that Cadillac was making to the CTS I wasn’t sure what die hard Cadillac fans like me would think. After all the CTS was already a hit with anyone who ever got behind the wheel and pressed down on the gas pedal and felt the power that this little Cadillac has had.

The optional packages is what makes this Cadillac stand out from other midsize cars like the Acura TL and the Infiniti G. Being a Cadillac fan I am slightly bias towards Cadillac’s. I think what Cadillac did was take a cool looking power filled CTS and made it better which I didn’t think was at all a possibility.
