Our 100th Post on Cadillacs

I just noticed that we have broken a little milestone – This is the 100th post that I have sent out to our club. It seems like yesterday that I started this site but I guess time has flown by. Out of the 100 post I would probably figure 90 of them were from members with helpful suggestions and with pictures of their Cadillacs and such. For that I am grateful.

Cadillac Record Breaking Parade

This event is quickly coming up and I just wanted to send a little reminder out about it again. We have at least 2 members bringing their Cadillac that I know of. I am still not sure if I will be attending so if you do go please take some pictures. The record breaking attempt was even covered in the New York Times yesterday. I am really pulling for them to break the record. If you are planning on going leave a comment on this post so maybe you can meet other members of the club.

What Are Dagmars?

The other day in an email a member asked me what Dagmars are. This caught me by surprise but the more I think about it since our site has a big international readership it may just be a term that we use in the United States. Back in the early 1950’s when tail fins were getting bigger so was the front bumper.

On the bumper there were usually two “Dagmars” on it. They were the bulb like things that stuck out and also resembled a woman’s breast. They were nicknamed Dagmars after an actress of the day that was known for having large breast. For more information on this I send you over to Wikipedia. What are Dagmars?

New Look Here

I had my friend Leslie from Lesrubadesigns expand the banner to make it wider to cover the whole header. The old banner size showed a lot of white around it and to tell you the truth it has been bothering me for a long time. Thanks Leslie it looks great.

Our Next Newsletter

In the next few days I plan on sending another newsletter as our friend Earle just sent me some new pictures of his Cadillac and it sure is sharp. You may remember Earle from his 1978 flower car. Well the flower car has a new companion. I will try to get the newsletter out with pictures in a day or so. I have been slacking with newsletters lately.

1957 Cadillac Pictures From New Zealand

By Vinny O'Hare

This week I want to feature 1957 Cadillacs. I got the urge for this Cadillac year after Wayne from New Zealand sent in some beautiful pictures of his 1957 Cadillac that is restored to original condition. Here is Wayne’s email to me along with a page to the rest of his pictures.

Hi Vinny,

I bought this 57 Cadillac in March 2010 which was imported to New Zealand from the US. I have done a lot of mechanical work on it to bring it up to a road worthy state. It is totally original apart from the wheels and is in excellent condition. More photos to follow. Hope to hear from more Cadi fans.

Put A Cadillac In Your Living Room

Cadillac Sofa — Will Your Wife Let You Put THis In The House

I just came across a cool thing for Cadillac fans. The real question is will your wife going to let you buy this and put it in your living room. I have no connection to the people selling this, I just thought it looked cool and wanted to share it with you all.

From the description it makes me want to get one but I know Debbie would have me sleeping on it every night and that is just not a road I wish to take. Be sure to ask your spouse if it is ok before you end up in an argument.

From the site – “Looking for some cool retro furniture to fashion your game room, bar or house. This Cadillac Sofa should do nicely. Available in black, pink (Elvis Fans!) and red, this wacky resin creation is molded from a real classic 1959 Coupe de Ville Cadillac and has real working rear lights. Turn on a James Dean or Marilyn Monroe movie and sit back and reminisce about the good ole days!”

Here is the link if you want to see pricing and stuff on this Cadillac Sofa.

Long Island Car Show

Tomorrow is the make up date for the NY Auto Fest car show in Port Washington because it rained last Sunday. Odds are I will be there, I don’t know if I will get there at 9am when it starts but I am going to try. Like I said last week if you are planning on attending drop me an email and we can hook up and say Hi.

Justin Bieber’s New Cadillac Escalade

Looks like another Celebrity has bought a new Cadillac as Justin Bieber was seen driving a new Cadillac Escalade. Not that many of our members care about him but I think it is cool whenever a celebrity chooses to buy a Cadillac and help the brand. Of course I would rather spend my time talking about Rita Hayworths 1953 Ghia.

How You Can Help The Club

I often get asked in E-mails if there is anything readers can do to help the club out. If you are using social media at all, like being on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ you can help by placing a link to the site either in your profile or Just copy and pasting the newsletter on to your wall for others to enjoy. At the end of every post on here you will see some buttons to Tweet it out or share on Facebook or even to give it a + on Google. I would appreciate any help we can get so share away.

If you need any help with this just send me an email and I will explain further, The more Cadillac fans we get participating the better the club will be.
