Title: Neighborhood Cadillacs
Post by: Abe Lugo on March 22, 2020, 01:31:15 PM
I took up more jogging since this started.  Might as well post posts of Cadillac I see in my neighborhood.

It is interesting to discover what lurks in normally closed garages.

have you had a chance to talk with the owner?

Plus, when one jogs, one gets into a rhythm, and the body rises as the body moves forward, thus one gets the chance to look over peoples fences and sees what is hiding behind these said fences.

Do it while walking, and one would have to stand on tip toes to see, and then get arrested for peeping.

I was just hoping for a thread of Cadillacs in Driveways or on the street.  Post them, if you got them

Agree. I see many more people out walking. Many are cleaning out their garages. Found a 68 Cougar and a 68 California Special. Maybe someone will discover my 72 Eldo!

Up here in Down East Maine, we've 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground, so our pretty  toys are still snuggled up in garages out of the winter weather.  I'm counting the weeks until we get some warm weather up here. In the meantime post those pictures of "driveway finds" while you fortunate folks enjoy the southern warmth.  Happy day, James

You mean like this?

Notice the condition of the driveway.  8)

Guess what's under the cover for a prize (see bottom pic), first 1 or 2 correct guesses only and not if you are on my Special High Intensity Training list.  :P

Hello all,

Nothing spotted in my neighborhood recently, but I'll guess Mike has a blue '95 Brougham under the cover.

A friend recently sent me this photo of his neighbor's driveway in Ft. Lauderdale.

Whoops!  Let me try that again to save many of you from getting sore necks.

Sorry, I thought that'd do it.  Maybe with one 90 degrees too far to the left and the other 90 degrees too far to the right it events out?

I've got a random car spotting thread on the Buick forum I frequent.  Here's the Cadillacs from it:

Thanks for the post Lucas. I have yet to get out more this week.  Maybe we will  adjust out jogging route.

Not my family's, unfortunately, but The neighbors up the street when I was growing up in Hollywood, CA.

no random Cadillacs around here RN, but.... 'waiting in the garage'

times change.
these 2 cars are within just a few inches in length & width of each other, yet...

for some added fun on the thread here, i took a couple quick pictures of pics out of an old family photo shoe-box.

i was too young to know details on the gold Cadillac ('70?) other than likely was a car my Aunt drove while she was living at my Grandfather's house.

the blue/white 1973 Cadillac SDV is circa 1976/77 ? after a snowstorm parked in my Mother's carport in South burbs of IL. although i was only around 12/13yo, i did have all the equipment from Sears (wrenches, socket set, timing light) and used to maintain the car (tune-ups, oil changes) and constant detailing of the white leather interior along with regular waxing and occasional Blue Coral treatments for the paint. I actually started the detailing work on family cars at age of 7.

The gold Cadillac is a 1969 Fleetwood Sixty Special or Fleetwood Brougham. The wreath and crest on the front of the hood rule out any DeVille or Calais models.  The gold color is "Shalimar Gold", one of the most popular colors in 1969. Your aunt had excellent taste in cars.

Good morning Charles,  IDH all the details, could have possibly been my Great Aunt actually had that one. but yes, I'd love to have that car now. I also recall when very very young, my Mom dated a Fireman who drove a white Cadillac coupe. I think may have been a '65/'66 (i remember the very straight, rectangle/box shape) Calais. He used to put me on his lap to help him steer and operate the turn signal lever. when not 'driving' i would sit up high on the center armrests of that Cadillac and several more DeVilles & Eldos to come over the years in the family.

thanks much for checking in with this great info on the Cadillac :)    Mark~

Is this a Cimarron?
I think of a T. rex seeing a chicken.
The T. rex would say to the chicken, "Yes we are related but what happened?"
