From Cadillac Fan to Cadillac Man

Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on February 15th, 2005

I had been driving by this little one owner transmission shop a couple times a week, all last summer. I watched this 1970 Coupe Deville go through an updating (new top & paint) and thought to myself.. .that’s gonna be a nice ride for someone.

Toward the end of summer she was FOR SALE. The owner (and wife) were having a baby, momma said “time to get rid of the toy”. FOR SHAME! My father drove my family around for years in a 1969 Sedan Deville, Sure beats a minivan! So… needless to say, I bought it (some assembly required). My children will definitely have the oportunity to enjoy the smoothe ride of Daddy’s bad ass Caddy.

1970 de Ville Convertible

Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on November 2nd, 2003

This white 70 convertible is a one owner car, and in my garage since 1998. Purchased when new @ Allen cadillac, laguna beach California (business now @ laguna Niguel)
She ( blondy ) is our “Europe ” cruiser, and we covered approxm. 20.000 mls with her, to Cadillac meetings in France ( Story appears in the Nov/Dec issue Self Starte) , England , and so on…

Last winter i rebuild the whole front end , suspension, brakes, steering , and the engine with carburettor and everything arround.
In my opinion one off the best convertbls. and engines ( 472 ) ever made by Cadillac.
I let the pict’s speak for themself.
