Yes, it's good to get back to my roots. That cowboy, Randy, and some others of the Hooligan Posse had me sidetracked....FLOWERS, no less.
A man has to know when to stand his ground.

Speaking of men. Who said those old-timer boys didn't have some spunk. If this set of wheels didn't get the pulse pumping, something was wrong with you. Cadillac produced this baby in 1931. It's a model 370 Fleetwood Roadster. There were only 85 made and it was the last year that Cadillac offered a completely open roadster in any of its standard production lines. A V12 engine, 368 C.I. and putting out 135 HP, propelled this jewel in style.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hi Gary,

    I'm with you, buddy. I can see some of the gang hitting the hot spots in this thing.

    I'm not familiar with that term " Dickey-Seats ". Do you suppose it referenced an arcane method of birth control?

    135 hp and about a gazillion lb/ft of torque! And that on top of a million dollars worth of style. iloveyou.gif

    Hey John,

    You sure hit the nail on the head there. This car just drips panache and style. Thanks for looking in.

    Now, Tom, I'm a-thinkin' I can see the dust on the horizon of a posse of 4-wheelers hot on my tracks!

    They are wasting their time! Cars are one of my basic preoccupations, and while I now have a utilitarian van which doubles as a camper, my previous vehicle was a Renault Megane with which I was "seriously involved"! My brother has one, as well. Quietly stated futuristic elegance, with a French accent! Ooo-la-la!

    This Caddy is wedding cake, but oh what a nuptials! You have shot it with real finesse!

    Hey Neil,

    I'm really lucky to get exposure to the cream of the crop of collector cars in this country. At one time or another, I hit the Pebble Beach show, catch Meadow Brook, and never miss the Amelia Island Concours. Those are the top three shows in this country.....there are a number of regional shows that are also quite significant. Sometimes I think I suffer from sensory overload.

    I'm glad to hear you share a passion for autos.

    Yo Craig,

    These cars are positioned all along both sides of two long fairways at this beautiful seaside golf course. When you look upon all these spectacular vehicles assembled in one spot, it is virtually overwhelming.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Hey Mary,

    You can bet your bottom dollar that you'd be the first lady on the list to call if we could snare one of these things for a night on the town. They stage a big cruise around Amelia Island in a number of these priceless cars the day before the big show. It's a real thrill to see them in an open-road environment.
