Default Long time Cadillac affectionado

I'm a long time Cadillac admirer starting when I was about 11 or 12 years old.
My uncle sparked my Caddy fever when phoning me one warm autumn morning to come out to my driveway and see his new car.
That's right he PHONED ME FROM HIS CAR and this was in the fall of 1955!
There he sat at the wheel of a new 1956 Eldorado Convertible, all silver, a hard boot covering the folded top, dual quads and a telephone as big as little me.
That instant formed my destiny. I was now a full blown automotive junkie.
From then on I started building models of cars, Jo-Hann, AMT, Revelle and others thru my mid 20's.
I built full scale hot rods, bought and sold muscle cars then to ruin a good hobby I entered the retail and wholesale automotive business full time and the rest is history.
I'm semi retired now, still attending wholesale used car auctions weekly and still participate in collector car auctions around the country.
My fair weather daily driver is my '99 Eldorado ETC and still maintain my collection of hot rods and muscle cars to pass the time away.
