Trivia Question 9 - Top 5 States with Most New Cadillac Registrations in 1963?

[Jason Edge]

OK.. time for trivial. Kinda related to another post some of us have been following, name the Top 5 States with the Most New Cadillac Registrations in the 1963 Calendar year.
This is for all new Cadillac registrations regardless of body style or model year, but would obviously mainly cover new 1963 and 1964 Model Cadillac registrations.
Whoever lists the states in correct order 1st gets the Cigar!

Duh, I live about two hours and change from Chicago.  I should have known that the first time around. Oh well I guess it was a better guess than Hawaii.

Tony I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was trying to come up with the top 5. The top 8 states used to have huge numbers of "connected" guys living in them when industry was booming, steel was king and GM wore the crown. Wise guys and Cadillacs go together like peanut butter and jelly!

I threw Texas in as possibility as # 3, thinking of rich oil fields, ranches etc, that a fair few Texans would buy a Cadillac.

Maybe everything isn't as big in Texas?
