Everyday I drive to work I see this ole Caddy parked out on the street in front of a bank downtown. It is flawless..an absolute masterpiece. The reason it caught my eye is that back in the late 70's there was a night club here named the "Godfather's". The club theme was based on the movie of the same name. The club folded up, as many do, about 4-5 years later. The old Caddy used to sit outside in front of the club as a "sign" or in my case "eye catcher". I always loved that car and looked for it around town for years but, I only spotted it once, sitting in someone's backyard covered in leaves and dirt and the "Godfather's" sign still on the doors. I always thought it would be so cool to cruize around town, all decked out, in that old Caddy. I never was able to talk with the owner and probably couldn't have afforded it back then anyway. I remembered to bring the camera to work today so I can share this beauty with ya'll. Enjoy! And..check that license tag!!
It looks a lot better than in my pictures, it's in downtown Corpus Christi. Supposed to be 84 here today! Whew, working on the A is bust *** these days, hot and humid and all that stuff!!
I just got drool all over my keyboard. I live in Austin. When I get married, I think I'll see if that car can be hired.
Is that the same car that sat in front of "Godfathers"? I think it looks alot better now. New oaint maybe? Now I can't wait to get home and drive by the old M-Bank!
AMAN I have a buddy ,that parks in the same place as the Caddy, that works there for Essenjay. I'll see if he knows who's car that is and what the story is on Cad is now?
