1950 Cadillac Deville Pictures
Posted by Vinny in Cadillac Owners on May 22nd, 2008
Sorry I havent been posting much lately. I took a trip out to Las Vegas where it seems that every other car I saw was a Cadillac. Besides doing some slot machines I was busy taking pictures.
I have had the honor of looking at some new pictures lately. William from California sent in some pics of his 1950 Cadillac Coupe Deville. She sure is a beauty.
You can see more pictures of her on the 1950 Cadillac pages http://www.cadillaccountryclub.com/1950-cadillac.html
It seems that more and more people have been contacting me lately with classic Cadillac questions. I don’t know the reason but I am glad that more people are restoring these Caddilacs back to their original form. It makes the site easier to work on when I have new people writing in.
On another note did anyone see the guy that drove his car from Chicago to New York on one tank of gas. He called his style of driving hypermiling or something like that. It was on the CBS early show. He claims that if you go slower and don’t use the brake as much you can save a lot of gas, but it causes you to get to your destination slower. Guess if you are not in a hurry it is a good thing. With the price of gas nowadays it can help save some money by trying it. You can see more here http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/19/earlyshow/main4107075.shtml
1935 Cadillac Fleetwood V-12 Pictures
Every once in a while I stumble across a vintage Cadillac that makes me jump up and say Wow. As you have seen on the main site there is a picture of a 1935 Cadillac 370-D Fleetwood Torn Cabriolet. This Cadillac sure did get my attention.
It was a jet glossy black piece of machinery that just screamed classic. The Caddy looked like it just came out of a show room floor. The big V-12 was the thing that provided this baby with a ton of power.
From the medalion near the car it said it won numerous awards including the 2005 Palm Beach Concours d’Elegance winner, 2003 Ameilia Island 100 Years of Cadillac, and the 2004 National Senior Grand First place. Like I said this car is a dream.
The car is currently sitting at the auto collections show at the Imperial Palace casino in Las Vegas. I was out there in early March and actually comped to see all the classic auto’s that are on display. There must be over 100 of them there at all times.

You may even see a picture of me, I couldn’t resist standing next to this classic.
Pictures of Vintage Cadillacs
I promised you guys a few pictures and stuff on older Cadillacs last time I wrote. Here is a page with a few 1950’s Cadillacs that I hope you enjoy. I am currently in Las Vegas and yesterday I was over at the Imperial Palace taking pictures of some classic Cadillacs. They had one from the 1930’s and of course the 1953 that was owned by Rita Hayworth was still there.
I picked up a book about the first 100 years of Cadillac at the gift shop and I was amazed by all the information and the pictures. More on that in a later post, I am sure I will make a review of the whole book when I finish it. Here is a link if you want to check it out for yourself. Cadillac: 100 Years of Innovation
