I saw one of those Elderados rotting away in the weeds in Louisiana in about 1977
I have a report on that model I think. I'll see if I can get a decent scan.

Question

Guess what car this is.... it was made before Cadillac 1960. (should have said 1959) the car below was made in 1957.
It looks to me like Cadillac copied that model!!!!

Look.....I rest my case (what a disgrace)
This one is a 1960 but as the same front end as the 59.
I could not find a good pic of the 59.

You are correct sir...... If only I had more space

I was looking for the front end of the 59 to compare with the mistery car.

Cool My dream car...

Unfortunately, the original pic was really small, so I enlarged it...so that's why it looks a bit pixellated.

But here ya go

They actually claimed to have larger fins than the '59 Caddy!!

Here's the front end of one:
Give this man a cigar.....
You have to agree with me that the front end is practically the same!

Have a couple new scans at my photo site of Caddie articles.

click the address below and enter your guest password: benz



If that doesn't work, go to www.photoisland.com, and log in to my albums with
the following information:

Log-in ID: rickg
Guest Password: benz

Right now I have the report on the car in the above ad. Click on the "Cadillac" folder, click on a thumbnail, then click the "View origional size" button over to the left so you can read it.

The scans are still grainy. If you don't have a good moniter they may not be too readable. I'm working with the filters in my software trying to clean them up better.(Should have seen the first attempts!)
