Hello everyone my name is Jacob.

I love my Cadillac. I got it 5-6 years ago from my uncle who lived in Oklahoma city. He was going to send it to the junk yard since none of his immediate family wanted it and he was getting too old to work on it. This beloved Caddilac belonged to my uncles father who apparently bought a new Cadillac every 5 years. They owned a series of Cadillacs.

My uncles father drove it from OK city to Austin Texas in just under 4 hours at a steady cruising speed of 100 mph! This car sat in a Barn on his ranch for about 20 years (I know it is a true love story!). My Caddilac resides in Texas now. This one (mine) is a Metallic Green coupe with white leather interior. Yes it has a green dash, green carpet, green everywhere. It is a joy to drive. Recently I got a new carburator (Edlelbrock), electronic distributor, muffler, tires, suspension work, and other misc done to it. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this project but its a handsome car that Im proud of. I came here to disscuss Cadillacs, learn Cadillacs and help others in anyway I can. Thanks for reading.
