I am still out in Arizona and a few weeks ago I had this flatbed truck pass us on the highway and I was wondering what it was exactly. My memory is so bad when it comes to Cadillacs pre-1960 it is bad. The thread we had where we had to guess what Cadillac we had before sparked a lot of attention and everyone seemed to like it. Lets do it again.

At first I didn’t think it was a Cadillac but when I blew up the picture it clearly has Cadillac spelled out and missing a few letters.  The round lights under the headlights is what is throwing me off.  What do you think it is? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

 

It is 11:30 on a Sunday night and I am watching a rerun of Chasing Classic Cars on the Velocity channel. They are getting ready to show a 1931 Cadillac V12 Sedan. I went to YouTube and found the video so everyone can enjoy what I am watching as I write this.

I am also starting to enjoy the “Hard parts the Bronx” on the Speed Channel. It makes me wonder what is your favorite car show. Leave your favorite show in the comments.

I was just going through my pictures and I came across a 1906 Cadillac. I saw this at the Auto Collection show a few years back. I have been doing some research on it and I don’t know for sure if it is an actual 1906. Click on the picture for more details and more pictures including one of the sign that was in front of the car.

Here is a video of a guy that is restoring Al Capone’s 1927 Cadillac.I found it very interesting. Will be waiting for his follow ups.

If you are located in the Oregon region you may want to become a member of the Horseless Carriage Club of America – Portland Region Group They have a bunch of classics and there was even a 1912 Cadillac spotted there. Looks like a bunch of fun.

Just saw a 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood for sale on craigslist for only $4000. It has 98,000 miles. click the link for more details.
