Vintage ads: 1969 Camaro, Mustang, Coronet
* A friend sent me these ads to feature. Tho I’m familiar with the dealership related to the 1969 Camaro, I can’t say I’d seen any of these previously. Have you seen any of ‘em!? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/04/04/automotive-daily-76/ HAPPY EASTER!

A grandfather & a last Detroit-built Caddy
Glad to see this is resolved! For the record, I'm a stickler for details, too. I suppose I should've worded my reply a bit better. Didn't think you were doubting the pic or story, balthazar, I was just trying to figure it out the best I could ... & I'm at a bit of a disadvantage b/c I don't have the plant knowledge that many others have.

A grandfather & a last Detroit-built Caddy
I asked Ryan; he told me his grandfather assured him it was the Clark Street assembly plant. Notice the sign indicates Eldorado, so maybe that was correct, at that particular time...? Ryan said he'd see if he could get further clarification from his grandfather, who was a general foreman. He said he hadn't had anyone question it before ... &, of the forums to which I posted this, haven't seen anyone else ask. BUT, we want to make sure it is correct, partly because Ryan sent me another Caddy pic his grandfather had sent him to feature on my website.

A grandfather & a last Detroit-built Caddy
* Family connections to historic events make those happenings a bit more personable. In this case, a friend’s grandfather drove the last Detroit-built Cadillac Eldorado: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/04/02/throwback-thursday-11/ BTW, a different theme on Thursday featured a Cadillac wagon & “El Camino”…. &, 1 of Friday’s themes will feature a 1969 Pontiac GTO raced by 2 generations. ALSO: who enjoys building scale models?

Hubcap Collections
Balth, More than you thought ... is a good thing. LOL Sounds like quite the collection. Do you have yours displayed at all? Roger, I've done the same thing ... look for hubcaps at swap meets, stores, etc. Just never bought any for a "collection" per se ... hind site 20/20, of course.

Favorite roads?
That is a loop I regret not having the time for during my "coast-to-coast" road trip in 2011, David. I've heard about it & several friends up in the greater Seattle area said I should save time for it ... but, I wasn't able to squeeze it in. Doubt I'll be going back there, so I've missed by chance ... but would never have known that at the time.

Somehow, kinda figured it was a CS. Sweet!!! The downsized generation started in 1978.
