The Story of BATILAC – Restoring a 1961 Coupe de Ville
Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on April 21st, 2006
Years ago, when I was growing up in the ‘60s, there was a television cartoon superhero named Batfink. Batfink was a spoof of the campy TV series “Batman”. Batfink drove in the “BATILAC” as he and his sidekick “Karate” saved the world from evil. I grew up loving cars with fins, although our family never owned one.
Fast forward to 1997. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on December 12th, 2003
Hello all, here is Gerald Fourdin’s, one of our Belgium clc members 59 Coupe.
Gerald lives in the “ardens “, the french/moutainside off Belgium , not the most common place to restore a 59 Caddy.
Altough he is only speaking french, and a true “hobby restorer”, he did the job compleet on his own.
I saw the car this summer , and she is realy stunning !
Black is magic !

1961 pink Cadillac Coupe de Ville
Posted by Lars Schenk in Cadillac Owners on December 12th, 2003
My car was imported into New Zealand from Washington in July 2003.
Her previous owner called her “Pinky”, and as my nickname is “Binky”, the name has stuck.
I managed to get the numberplate “BINK” which combines us both!
She is a car that gets a lot of use.
To date Pinky has been involved in a “Think Pink” campaign to raise funds for breast cancer research.
She has been the star in an Elvis Memorial Cruise on 16th August, and collected a trophy for the top 10 cars at tha NZ NSRA Nationals in October.
Pinky has attended car displays, raising funds for various causes, as well as transporting friends and family to events.
She is booked to carry brides to their weddings in the future, as well as being the venue for my “PINKY PARTIES”. ( cruising with a bunch of fun people, listening to cool music and consuming pink wine, pink food and pink cocktails )
She has also been chosen as the car that’s the “best of the ’60′s” in a local event called
“100 Years of Motoring in the Bay of Plenty” – to be held in December.
A very full life, and lots of fun!

From Walnut Creek to Stockholm Sweden

A little something about the 57 C. The car belonged to Richard & Jeanne Dodge from Walnut Creek CA..according to the insurance evidence found in the glove compartment..and it was in use as late as apr.22.85…
I will not restore it to a complete original 57…I guess it will be a mild custom..maybe a lowrider..have to think about that…
