View Full Version : Local Cadillac and LaSalle Show Last Sunday I went for a drive up to do some shopping. For some reason I went an illogical route to my destination and happened on a car show at a local GM dealer's. This was the local Trillium Cadillac and LaSalle Owner's Club show.
Some 6th sense had made me take my camera out with me.

Martin. Cadillac Giovanni 10-07-07, 03:06 PM WOW! THE CHROME!!!! MY EYES!!!!
Thanks for the pictures! That made my day! All of those cars are gorgeous, I especially liked the late 70s limo. My_favorite_Brougham 10-07-07, 03:21 PM SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Someday maybe I can have a car like one of those that folks will envy. A '59 Series 62 convertible or Eldorado Biarritz would be nice. Vintage Convertibles really are the best!
I'm surprised there were no '74-'78 Eldorados. Those seem to be the one of most popular Cadillacs at shows catering to this vintage. I'm surprised there were no '74-'78 Eldorados. Those seem to be the one of most popular Cadillacs at shows catering to this vintage.
Look in the first picture at the left. There's a 75 or 76 lurking in the background. Benzilla 10-07-07, 04:49 PM Nice! God how I wish they had events like that in my area. I feel deprived haha. Kinda hoped to see a Phaeton, or a d'Marchand. But still very nice.
Oh, and, Giovanni, the limo is a '78. ;) There were a lot more cars that I didn't photograph as you can see from the first photo.
That limo was for sale. It was gorgeous.

Yeah it looks like a great turnout. Although I still didn't see any of the above stated. Any there? A guy named Pat Caruso or something is a member of one of their chapters and he has a really clean white Phaeton.
I also like that 1980-1981 two-tone Fleetwood Brougham. The '90s Fleetwood wheels are an interesting touch. Cadillac Giovanni 10-07-07, 08:00 PM I was going to say 78 too, but I held back, just in case... My_favorite_Brougham 10-07-07, 08:16 PM I also like that 1980-1981 two-tone Fleetwood Brougham.

That actually looks kinds good the silver on the side match the alloys. Reminds me the mid-80s Eldo and Seville "touring sedans" that had sleeker looks and alloy wheels. Has a sort of eighties-technology look, like a big chrome microwave...lol.
And are those original Crown & Seal tires on the Burgundy Brougham?? Benzilla 10-07-07, 08:23 PM That actually looks kinds good the silver on the side match the alloys.

Nope, just Vogues. Royal Seals had the gold near the rim, with the white farther out. IndyBrougham 10-07-07, 08:26 PM Get out the magnifying glass - that first picture is the best - there was quite a turnout of Cads. You lucky dog! A few more............

Any chance you took a shot of the 78 FWB to the left? :drool: My_favorite_Brougham 10-09-07, 11:25 AM OK, where are the headlights on that brown one with the hood up from the 60's??
Oh and that '78 Eldo looks sooo nice. I think I'll have to get one someday. Too bad the Broughams don't have front ends like THAT! Behind the flaps. You can see them just visible. Looks like twin circular laps.
I like the front on that Eldo, but the roof sucks IMO. I've never like half and half roofs. The interior looked pretty yuck too. Off color white leather.
Wheelman322, I didn't get a pic of that FWB. Never liked white roofs on dark colored cars either. Now I look at it though I wish I had taken a pic because it looks as though it's lowered a bit. Seems to sit nice.

Hmm, the roof & interior look gray to me. Anyway, that's stock height. :) |
