I just got back 21 vatted and bead blasted valve covers from the machine shop and was in the garage priming and painting a few of them tonight and thought I would add a picture of the correct Cadillac Blue thanks to the Bill Hirsch 1949 to 1976 Cadillac Blue Paint.

I"m a big fan of Rustoleum Engine Paint and Primer so these were first primed with Rustoleum Engine Primer, then 2 coats of Bill Hirsch Engine Paint.

Note: As most of you know, there is a nice sweet spot between…

After purchasing my '63 convertible and driving it occasionally for a year I decided that I would replace my leased 2001 DTS with a 1970 Eldorado, which has now been my daily driver for 9 years.  I repainted it to look just like the Eldorado in the 1970 Cadillac brochure.  It is Cinnamon with a dark brown vinyl roof.  I think it is prettier than my '63.

Our Carolina Region Newsletter Editor Travis Dowell turned the spotlight on himself (very deservedly I might add) and discussed some of his estimated 50 Cadillacs in the last newsletter.  That got me to thinking it might be fun to list Cadillacs other than 63's and 64's that we have owned or still own.  It gives someone insight into someone else's association with the Cadillac Brand.

Here is my list:

I received my Cadillac LaSalle Club Museum and Research Center 2013 Calendars last week. Since they have come out with these, I always order 2: one for home office and one for work.

Price is $15 + $2 s/h (in USA) and proceeds go toward the CLC Museum and Research Center.

You get a beautiful calendar and support a great cause!!…

While we have our main logo with the 63 & 64 front ends, we also have our alternate wreath logo that came about last year when we were designing something for the chest of our club shirts.  This past weekend I revised it to give it a gold ring and and gold wreath using the same colors in the CLC logo and have to say I'm very pleased with it.

I've loaded these logo's separately to the website and have posted them below. You will definitely see these more in the future:…

I've been working on the header section wanting to pull in the latest CLC log, and create a similar cirucular logo outlined in gold for the chapter. I also wanted to include our formal logo in the center with our web address.  While I liked including the featured caddy of the month it didn't seem as professional as I wanted it. What I can do is put the featured car below the main header. That would make for a larger overall header meaning you would need to scroll down more to get to the…

My compressor seized up today. Made some great smoke on the highway. Do they reproduce these. I'm looking for something original, or at least close to it. 

Our local town of Garner has just posted their Christmas Parade online. You can see my 64 CDV and then fellow Eastern NC CLC Member Bill Ludwil and his 1970 DeVille Convertible starting at about 8:45 into this video link:…

Hello Everyone, other than putting batteries in a flashlight my electric background stinks. I have a 12v 45rpm record player I want to mount to the bottom of the dash above the transmission hump. I can do that . The speakers are not an issue since the player sends out a signal on 1600 am. I can attach the ground wire to the dash. The power wire is to be hooked to the postive side of the fuse box. It has a 5amp fuse on it. I figure I could stick the wire with connector into a clip holding…
