And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

1967 Cadillac Eldorado. When Cadillacs were still Cadillacs
That f’ing hood! Love it. My parents’ best friend always drove eldorados, they are excellent cars. The closest we got was a new 71 Impala. Sadly, the Impala died a few weeks before I got my learners permit in 1980.
For anyone who loves Cadillac's, check out my best friend, Cadillac Carl on the net. The plague got him 2 summers ago even after he had gotten the J & J stab. He drove his 1917? I can't recall towards Death Valley on the way towards Las Vegas for a big deal. I was supposed to drive his rig but as I sat a Duane's Summer Lake Hot Springs he had broke down on the road and snow was flying south of me. I decided to head back home. A friend of 64 years, anyone have one?
Almost all are now driven by low-riders or low-lifes. Not all, but the vast majority...sadly.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Cadillac ruined by turning it into a lowrider.

ReplyDeleteEver heard the Jimmy Buffett song "Earl's Dead, Cadillac For Sale"?
ReplyDeleteClose relative to the Toronado's. Which I always understood where GM's test bed for the Elderados.
ReplyDeleteI had one. I wish they were rear-wheel drive, though.
ReplyDeleteMy dad had a baby blue ELdorado Barritz, same color interior leather had everything but the phone. It was a tank.
