Look what parked next to me.
I went to my health club Sunday morning and always park in the back away from the others, saw this beautiful ride next to my GS when I headed back to my car, I believe it is a 1968 Caddie Coupe Deville in mint condition.

That thing has some pretty massive doors, it still could have probably reached your car with the door wide open!

Nice pic. He was obviously giving respect to the Vette parking next to you.

Really nice; but I think it's a 1966, not 1968. You can tell from the back tail lights. My dad had probably 35 new caddies over the years and when I was a little kid I was as good as the guys in identifying them!

Exactly. A 1966 coupe de ville vert. Boats, but beautiful. Loved Cadillacs as a kid although we had a Chevy. Even Alex Vega got it wrong once on Cadillacs. Said the 1967 was the last year of that body style when I know the 1968's were nearly identical except for a slightly higher grill and side marker lights. ****? Yes. Retentive? Probably.

Land yacht. Never cared much for cars like that when they were brand new. I knew a guy who collected large cars like that. I think he bought them by the pound.(joke) Used to get them from senior citizens living in a retirement village, called Leisure World. He belonged to car club whose name I can't remember, but their motto was "Chrome, Fins, Tonage", which I always thought was funny.

Interestingly, I had always been a fan of Cadillac, and last year on 08.30.16, my wife and I decided to give it a try. We purchased a new 2016 CTS Luxury/Performance model with the 3.6 and AWD for Minnesota winters. This is not the Cadillac of old, 335 HP, head up display, full leather Kona brown semi-analine upgrade seats, carbon fiber interior, and paddle shifters, we love the car as a daily driver!
