Terrific video and definitely no cookie-cutter dealerships in any of it. Everyone of them had their own identity and character from a time when the dealers sold the cars and not the factory.

I love the old classic Cadillacs. I have a 1974 Eldorado convertible and a 1979 Cadillac Phaeton in a cotillion white with blue top. My father only drove Cadillacs and Lincolns. I love the American luxury cars of yesteryear.

Absolutely 100% Fabulous video! Back in the days when General Motors was the undisputed leader in REAL CARS!!!! I am SICK OF SUV's!!!!!!!! I have been the very proud owner of 6 Cadillacs throughout my driving lifetime. My mother owned 2 as well. It's really too sad and too bad that Cadillac no longer builds actual Cadillacs anymore. Cadillacs ended for me in 1984.

Nice video. Reminded me of how these dealerships once where. My parents bought their 76' Eldorado at Casa de Cadillac so when I bought my last Cadillac, I thought I would give them a try. I wanted to see the XT6 and they said they didn't have any. I told them that their website said they had 3 of them. Nobody could find them. So, I went to a Pasadena dealership and bought one. Call me stupid, but I went back to Casa for service and had the worst Cadillac dealership service I ever had. Finally learned my lesson. Never went back.

I find most of them on E-bay ( assembly line , showroom , celebrity , manufacturer press release images , etc..) They make great wall art for a trophy room .. And wouldn't it be great to have one of those HUGE vintage dealership signs in a large shop/garage !? Thanks for sharing ! EPIC THUMBS UP ! 😇❤

I have my parents 58 cadillac they bought in 1960 from a Doctor friend of theirs. I was one year old. Mom gave it to me in 1982, and being the big car nut that I am I've taken great care of it. Lifelong Southern California car, still on the road. Do you have a 58 in your collection?

I saw that too and wonder if my 77 Eldorado Biarritz came from them. It did come from Ohio and the dealership was still there when I checked a few months back. I bought the Eldo in February. It's tough when cars sit for 22 years.

Great video Caddy Girl! At one time, I had a collection of Cadillac sales brochures 1958-1965. Not certain where they are now. We own a 2008 Cadillac DTS in White Diamond Tricoat with a dark red canvas-pattern top. Has 89,400+ miles after a 2100 mile vacation. 30.68 mpg! I had to check my math 3 times. LOL!!
