General Discussion / Re: Wanted: CLC Escalade Owner...

I would really, really love to see an Escalade Chapter happen and would be first in line to sign up. As the owner of a 2002 Escalade EXT (first year EXT) and a 2013 EXT (last year EXT) I have always hoped someone would step up.  I feel whoever does will have a very successful Chapter!

General Discussion / Wiring

Last post by Clifton 77 - April 26, 2024, 08:36:49 PM

Good evening I have a 1977 Coupe Deville that I put a 1980 368 engine in. My wire harnesses on the 77 is a lil different. It doesn't have the round connection for the distributor and it's missing the plug that runs under the air compressor that goes into the engine. Can I bypass these or what do I have need to do.

I have the huge portrait of Floyd D. Akers, founder of Capitol Cadillac in Washington DC, that hung in the dealership. I'd like to have it donated to the museum only if it's hung up in the museum and not placed somewhere in a storage area. He was a very prominent man with very close ties to Alfred Sloan & Cadillac Motor Division. He supplied many cars to the White House and dignitaries.

I believe I bought them from CPR Cadillac Restoration Parts.  Give them a call and see if they still have them.  https://cprrestorationparts.com

Cool historic story - I think it pertained to the original Dewar Trophy. 

During the Detroit Riots in July 1967, Cadillac received a phone call from an elderly lady living in Detroit. 

She wanted someone from Cadillac Motor Car to pick up a trophy she had in her possession. 

It was Wilfred Leland's widow (2nd wife) and I believe Ansel Sackett was the person who went to retrieve it.
