Robberbaron Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Gorgeous! Love the color combo, too. Wouldn't change a thing.
Porscheman Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thank you everyone for the great compliments. The color came out brighter than I thought and I'm pleased with the outcome. Thanks again, Al Edited May 6, 2014 by Porscheman
am73grand Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 That is stunningly beautiful!!! Never would have thought bright red would look so good on this body style. Nice job man!
bbowser Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Thank you everyone for the great compliments. The color came out brighter than I thought and I'm pleased with the outcome. Thanks again, Al Nothing screams "look at me" like a giant red Caddy. Great job.
Ron Hamilton Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Beautiful Car, Al. A friend of my Father had one of them back in the day.
om617 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Great looking Cadillac,and it`s HUGE Always thought 73 was the end of enormous cars.
MrObsessive Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Always thought 73 was the end of enormous cars. 1977 saw the beginning of the end for the "traditional" sized vehicles. Starting with the '77's, GM downsized their full sized cars for all the divisions. No longer could you get the huge land yachts such as the Caprice, Bonneville, Olds 88/98, Buick LeSabre, and the huge Cadillacs such as Porscheman's model were no more. '78 saw the downsizing of the intermediates-----and '79 saw the intro of the X bodied Chevy Citation (actually very early '80 models) Pontiac Phoenix, Olds Omega, and the "new" Buick Skylark. These were also GM's foray into the small FWD car arena which we've been stuck with somewhat ever since. Porscheman's Cadillac IMO represented an era when this Cadillac was a sign that you had "made it", and GM made a car that let the world know it. Now there's so much competition from around the world, Cadillac has its work cut out for them, but I DO like the newest Cadillacs roaming the road-----from the ATS all the way to the new XTS. All VERY sharp cars!
Porscheman Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Wow, I'm blown away with all the compliments on my Caddy. I'm sure glad I didn't go with my original idea, a Mary Kaye Cadillac
The Modeling Hermit Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 That brings back some great memories. I almost bout a 74 in that color when I was in the Army, but got a Caprice convertible instead.
charlie8575 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Wow, I'm blown away with all the compliments on my Caddy. I'm sure glad I didn't go with my original idea, a Mary Kaye Cadillac Honestly, that would've been kinda cool. I'd like to see some more pictures of that '69. Charlie Larkin
