In Southern California, East of Palmdale, in the desert, on Hwy # 138, near Littlerock is a very large Cadillac "graveyard". It has acres of old Cadillacs. Most are complete cars. There is no sign, no phone number shown. It is all fenced in. Does anyone know what this yard is about?
I have seen the yard.... I am told that the entire yard belongs to the Cadillac King in Sylmar, CA on San Fernando Road and he stores all his "extrra" car there
Herman,
Thanks for the incite. I drive by there every month and am amazed at the number of Cadillacs there !

It is hard to imagine the enormity of this Cadillac junk yard, mostly 70's and later cars, but there was some 50's stuff as well. When I went to California to pick up my '41 Cadillac, we passed by this place and our mouths fell open. We drove about 1.2 miles up the cross road before coming to the end of the yard. To give you some perspective, here is a Google earth picture of the place and a couple other shots..... it is unbelievable.

Glad you put that up there. I was trying to find it, but couldnt.

I used this and it went right down to the cars.

No wonder they have everything there! I buy hard to find parts for my limousine there. Great photos!
Does anyone have the exact cordinates on where this is.? I was trying to find it on google maps but wasnt sure where to look, also does anyone know how to get ahold of the owner at all?
Just type in "cadillac king" palmdale, ca and it will take you right there in google maps.
Regards.

If it's the Cadillac King I've dealt with before, they're in Pacoima. It's a very small yard, I'm guessing that this desert yard is their main facility to scavenge parts. The web-site is under construction (it desperately needed it).

Awesome thank you Chris for the insight, any idea how to pull up yard on google maps like previous people have mentioned i type it in and i just get like a regular road map view. Im excited about the info you gave me. Im desperately tryig to find a set of wire wheels for my 90 rear wheel drive brougham. Maybe he can help.
In hte upper right of the map view in Google Maps there should be a box that says "Satellite". Click that to change to the earth view.
