Hello all... I just happened upon this place last night while doing some pointless surfing for Cadillac stuff. Here's a little bit about me and the car.
I'm 33, married, and have two great kids ages two and six. We love to go camping, and I love old cars; especially Cadillacs and Chevys. I just got my first Cadillac, a 1968 Coupe deVille, about two weeks ago. It's regal silver with a black vinyl top, and red leather interior. It currently has 40,000 original miles. I've always liked the 67-68 body style, and when I saw this color combination I knew this was the one for me. We decided that she needed a name, and my wife and I settled on "Gracie" for reasons that I know we're not supposed to talk about on the forum so let's just say that it has to do with grace and religion and leave it at that.

I look forward to spending time here as I learn more about Gracie.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks Sandman. I have not taken any pictures yet, but here's a link to the ebay auction. I know some would say I shouldn't post what I paid or the VIN etc., etc., but I don't see any harm in doing so.

The pictures in the aution page aren't the best.
