Always Love Finding Pictures of the Cadillacs with my Dad In Them

[Jason Edge]

I was just scrolling through some old pictures of the 64 Cherry Red Sedan de Ville I use to own and noticed my dad in the background of the 1st picture below and thought, we sure had some  great times bringing in all those Cadillacs.  I've got a ton of pictures as I was bringing the driver cars and parts cars in and need to go back and scan them in as I know there are many more with my dad. The 2nd picture is one I had previously posted and was taken in Nov 1997, just over 1 year from the time I bought 'Dino' my 64 CDV. It is like someone opened the Cadillac Faucet and they started pouring out! LOL We sure had some fun.

Hey Jason, is ya Dad still with us?

[Jason Edge]

Kevin, As noted in the Sept 2017 Newsletter where I spotlighted my first parts car and included details about my dad, he died in 2005 from a heart catheterization that went terribly wrong. He was my partner in crime regarding the old Cadillacs and sure do miss him.

I didn't recall reading that Jason, I know doubt, did read it, just couldn't remember it.

My own Dad passed away back in 1996..... so long ago now. My Mum however, will be 96 in August and is still going pretty good.

 I enjoy seeing your old car shots..... keep 'em coming please.

Your dad kinda looks like Elvis there. Does that have anything to do with your Elvis thing? lol

[Jason Edge]

Yeah, dad had the black hair and even had more of the 50’s greaser look when he was younger, but it was mom that turned me on to Elvis. She had been hearing this Elvis on the radio in 56 when she was 13 and said when she finally saw him on his 1st Ed Sullivan appearance, she said he was so good looking she just stood there and shook and cried. The rest was history. Must have been tough being that talented and good looking.
