HI all,

New to the forum.  I was raised in a family that had its share of Lasalle and Cadillac cars.  I have never owned a large car like this but now that I have reached retirement I think its time to have one of my own.  Dad would be proud of me I think! In any case the cars that I rode in as a child are naturally the type I would most like to have.  My dad had only one convertible out of the group so that is what I would really like to find but a 2 door was next in line.  If anyone knows of where a 50's or early 60's might be lurking please let me know.  I could also have mentioned he had a couple of Chrysler Imperials too but that's another story.

I forgot to post my cell phone.  It is 314-504-8430 and I am in the St. Louis area.  Give me a call if you know of a car that is available. 

Are there any Cadillac owners on this forum that fly?  I have been a pilot and an A&P mechanic most of my life.  Due to health reasons I am giving up the hobby.  I have a really sweet 1947 Taylorcraft BC12D that will have to go.  That is the reason (at least I think) for wanting a car now to keep me busy.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi,

    I also want to welcome you. I am a relativly new member and have only attended one local club function but am looking forward to many more.

    I have found the Forum to be quite valuable in so many ways. I am restoring a Cadillac and come to this Forum regularily to get advice, find parts and chat. I have had great support in the past 2 years and I am looking forward to enjoying many functions with my local Cadillac community.

    I am also getting ready to completely retire and have recently sold my partnership in a Cessna 182. I was licensed in 1974 and loved flying but FAA dosen't like my pacemaker and I can pass physical but it takes a lot of extra tests and doctors letters and so forth.  Now it's just cars and motorcycles I guess.

   Where are you located by the way?? Tacoma here.
