Last weekend after spotting that new C7 Corvette and a couple older race cars (and totally missing the BMW Art Car), this olelongrooffan wandered down the 18th fairway of the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton’s golf course in search of some other cool ass stuff to see and share with my fellow Hoons. And I found it.
Back in the Motorama era that was GM in the 1950’s, their policy was to scrap all of their concept cars once the show was over. As learned while checking out that LaSalle II, not all of them suffered that fate. In addition to that LaSalle, a few Cadillacs survived as well. And this olelongrooffan was lucky enough to see them that sunny Sunday afternoon. My fellow Hoons can, as well, should you choose to make the jump along with me.
How about a baby blue supercharged Cadillac from the mid 50’s? Yeah, that thing is absolutely gorgeous. I love those Duesenberg style flexible tubes on the side of it.
Not only that, it’s a ragtop with real wire wheels. Just love it.
And lest my fellow Hoons think the Alante and the XLR were the only two seater Cadillacs, check out this one.
Even the engine compartment on this one is beautiful.
Not to mention the design treatment along the side of it.
Yeah, this olelongrooffan would include this in my livery any day of the week.
But wait! Another one? Holy Crap.
I fell in love with this Eldo limo. Open up front with suicide doors in the rear. Excellent.
It certainly was an attention getter. I stood there for more than a few minutes trying to get a shot of it sans onlookers but was totally unsuccessful in that endeavor.
But I was able to capture an image of the dagmars out front.
And speaking of dagmars. Check out this two seater roadster. Yet another beauty.
Gotta go. The Mad_Hungarian is calling.
