Cadillac Information and Errors

By

I know it has been awhile since I sent out a newsletter, I have been busy but enough about that. I am looking forward to this week.

This week I am attending the New York Auto Show and will have a lot of pictures and videos of the new Cadillac Converg. I hate the name but love the idea of a practical Cadillac. If you can call it that, to me it’s a Chevy Volt in disguise – we will just have to wait and see if it ever goes into mass production. By the end of the week I promise I will have pictures and video.

UPDATES ABOUT THE 1959

There has been some facts about my last post about the 1959 Cadillac with the tv. It seems that this Cadillac is not what it was made out to be. As you can see from the responses on the post about the 1959 Cadillac. It seems to me that the nice folks over at the Imperial Palace got wrong information also. I have been corrected about this Cadillac from a few places. One Car-nection.com Cadillac database and the Cadillac Lasalle forum also had a post about MY wrong info. I can only post what I saw on the sign. This car seems to be something else then what that sign says.

New 2010 Cadillac SRX Video

First off I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. It has been a while since I sent out a newsletter. That will change in the new year as I have a bunch of stuff being planned. One of the big changes is the newsletter system itself. We will have a new look and feel around here in a few weeks. Lots of stuff behind the scenes going on right now.

Over the weekend I was able to see the movie “Cadillac Records” and besides being a good movie I was amazed at the amount of Cadillac’s in the movie. It was fun trying to identify the years as they drove the cars around. There had to be about 50 different ones used in the movie. Lots of Cadillac’s from the mid 1950’s were used, it was fun watching the tailfins get bigger as the movie went on. I suggest you try to see the movie.

Now on to the new stuff, I just found this video on the new 2010 Cadillac SRX which looks like a combination of the old SRX and the concept Provoc.

I have been making some changes over on www.Caddychat.com also. There is a new blog/newsletter being installed. I am getting a lot of questions over there and the site is screaming for some interaction. I have added a new gallery on the site that needs some tweaks but you can go there and see some classic Cadillacs. I will be going out to Las Vegas next week on vacation and I am looking forward to visiting the Imperial Palace car show and see what new Cadillac’s are there.  Maybe they will even have a pro car there like the ones that our friend Earle sent us Cadillac Pro cars. Big thanks to Earle for sending these in. Speaking of car shows if you know of any good shows that have a bunch of Cadillacs send me an email vinny(at)cadillaccountryclub.com

Cadillac Records: Vintage Cadillacs

By

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.
