Cadillacs at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2013

By

I just returned from the Barrett-Jackson auction where I watched the BatMobile sell for 4.2 million dollars. The energy in the room was amazing to say the least. We were way in the back and we couldn’t even see the car on the stage as there was too many people in our way and on the stage. I was lucky to meet Joe Fortuna who was working the Cadillac Club, Sonoran Region booth. Joe and I have been exchanging emails and it was nice to meet another Cadillac fan that reads our newsletter. Thanks for your hospitality Joe! It was my pleasure talking Cadillacs with you.

I just wanted to share some pictures with you that I took at the show. It was my first Barrett-Jackson auction and I was amazed at the size of it all. I was not expecting so many exhibitors, especially not in the car niche. There was mattress companies and handbags (which we bought one).

I was surprised that the car brands had new cars here. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting it but I had to take a picture in front of the new Cadillac XTS.

I know it has been a long time since I updated the site but as you know the Hurricane kind of changed my life. I am typing this from Phoenix Arizona where we rented a home while I rebuild the old house. My girlfriends daughter lives out here so that is why we rented out here. I go back on Monday to start the rebuild. Thank you for all the emails! The support we received was overwhelming to say the least.

We just got back after spending a week at a conference in Las Vegas. As you know I love going to Las Vegas so I can go to the Auto Collection show at “The Quad”! The Quad is the new name for the Imperial Palace casino. I just love taking pictures of the classic Cadillacs and sharing them with you all.

This time they had a beautiful 1961 series 62 Cadillac convertible that was smoking red hot! It was by far the best looking Cadillac that I have saw in person. While I took like 100 pictures I took the best 2 to show you for now. I will make another post with the rest of the pictures. This Cadillac had the original jack and spare tire. As I was taking pictures one of the staff came over and let me get some close up pictures. Thanks Ken

I will be updating with more pictures as soon as I can. Since the hurricane took away my old laptop I have no way of updating the main site for now. That will change soon!

Heading to Barrett-Jackson

While I am in Phoenix for the weekend I am planning on heading up to the Barrett-Jackson auction one of the days. They have a strict policy about photographing the cars but I am sure I can sneak one in from my cell phone.  Maybe I will get lucky and run into April Rose in the Speed Social Garage!

Hurricane Sandy

Hi all

Sorry I haven’t updated the site in a while. As most of you know I am located in NYC and got hit hard by the hurricane. We had almost 5 feet of water throughout our one story home.

We fled the house with our pets and the clothes on our back. We are waiting to hear from insurance.

I have lived in this house for 44 years and it took two weeks to throw away everything we own.
