It Lives!

I went out today, rolled back the cover, put the battery in, pumped the gas a couple of times and then started up my Caddy. I put the top down and then took it for a quick drive around town which reminded me why I like it so much, driving season is here! Here is a picture in case any of you have forgotten what it looks like:

Congrats on the drive. That photo is the affluent '60s for sure.

Tom, it certainly does feel affluent when you drive it. This car and my old 450 SEL are probably the best highway cars I've ever owned, you can cruise at 100+ all day long and the ride is smooth. This one does edge out the Benz but only because the top goes down.

Back when Cadillacs had style!I still remember being impressed with the
sales brochures,when they were new.

Looks great - Something that big - I presume the license tag is its Zip code.

BTW we live in a house made in 1940 and you couldn't possibly put one of those (or even a car from the 40's) in the garage. why is that?

Wife had a 78 4 door when she was a real estate broker, when she retired I bought her a new Eldorado and it was a beautiful car to drive, I loved that car! Had it for 10 years. PJ

Mine is the last series of Caddy I really like. I do like the fact that you can trace many of Cadillac's current design cues to this series.

How many gallons to the mile does it do at 100 plus

Over 100 it becomes around a 1 to 1 ratio.
