[Jason Edge]

Here is our 5th look back at 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter member Cadillacs at the 2024 CLC Grand National in Gettysburg - PAT WESTPHAL'S 1964 de VILLE CONVERTIBLE.

Pat's convertible was featured in our March 2023 Newsletter which you can check out by Clicking Here.  Since purchasing the car in 2021 he has worked hard tackling several wiring and other issues to make the car road worthy.   Pat has driven the car on the Woodward Dream Cruise and last year's CLC National Driving tour, not to mention his appearance at this year's Grand National.   This is definitely a driver Cadillac that Pat is going to enjoy for years to come.  It should also be noted that Pat worked for GM in engineering at Clark Street in Detroit then at the Milford Proving Grounds after the Clark Street building was shut down in 1994.  Be sure to check out  more on his story and his convertible via the newsletter link.

Hi Pat,

     I saw the pictures that Jason posted from the Grand National and I also had a chance to see your convertible at the hotel.  It looked sharp and never looked like you drove it all the way from Michigan.  It is a beauty!
