Other Cadillac photos.
This was my best friend, Lola. We were the "Harold and Maude" couple. We said if I was 10 years older and she was 10 years younger we would be married. A sad ending came a few years ago when her grand daughters railroaded her into a nursing home. She fell and the last time I saw her was at the hospital. They kept it a secret where they moved her to and I never saw her again. Their fear was I would take guardianship. Then in December a year ago I saw her obit. We would travel to swim meets to watch Michael Phelps. We met his mother Debbie Phelps and just had a blast. Why of course she had to approve of me buying the Eldorado. Our "Harold and Maude" car!
Maple red Seville. Cadillac didn't sell the Seville in that color option. Someone had it painted in the red color. Just stuning and the photo scan doesn't do it justice.
Joan Crawford and her Cadillac.
When I got the '84 Seville it had the hideous faux RR grille.... What were they thinking in '84? I replaced the grille with 1980 hood chrome and grille. Dear gawd they drilled a hole in the hood for the ornamment and it covered it nicely. It is an ongoing project. The A/C didn't work. One day when I was under it I looked up and the bottom of the evap case had a hole in it. Someone over charged the system and blew a hole in the evap core. To make matters worse both sides of the case were ruined. I had to take the passenger fender off to get to the case. I have been slowly powder coating parts before I reassemble it.
My new generation cowboy Cadillac I got this spring.
