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.

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!

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 :wacko:

Honestly, that would've been kinda cool.

I'd like to see some more pictures of that '69.
