Ah, i see, that explains it! I like most American cars but Cadillacs are my passion! I've owned most model years over the last couple of decades, current one is the 57 'vert which we just did the Sweden trip in. I also just bought a 54 Coupe which i'm picking up next week.Clivey wrote:Not particularly into mopes, just like Chargers. My first car, the one I was firsrt legal to drive on the road in back when I was 19 was a 55 Coupe de Ville. White with green Hollywood Glamour interior. Was originally a primrose yellow car with dark green roof. Lovely old motor but it had a 56 365 rather than the correct 331 cui lump. It was a great car. 4 inch white walls. really looked the part. A mate of mine who lived round the corner had a peppermint green 55 coupe de Ville and a wrecker white series 62 conv. Both were hacked to make one good covertible. Another of the gang had a beige 56 eldo seville which he swapped for what was then probably the best 59 coupe de ville in the country. No. plate 00 59 00. Black car with black / white interior. ANOTHER mate down the road had a pink 56 series 75 limmo. We were all on the rocking scene but as with most things I get into I got very anal about the cars. Another guy I knew had a red 54 CDV with black roof. There were a lot of good tidy fifties yanks in Harrow then, and of course the yellow 69 Charger which ignited that passion for me. So I suppose yes, I know my Caddies. Have always loved them. Standard of the World (or so they told us)
However i am looking for a real nice stock restored Cuda, i part owned one of the Kingston cars back in the early ninties and have always regretted selling it.
