Always like when you post these here. I know if the car isn't what I'm interested in, to keep reading because the story will be compelling. You have changed my opinion on a lot cars I could have cared nothing about.
The 1960 fins are my favorite Cadillac fins of all time.
I think my favorite fins on any car would have to be the 1959 Buicks with the delta wing fins.
Hey Tom, since we both are fans of green cars, how about a Klockau Classics post on the best Cadillac greens of all time? Or on any classic green that has caught your eye.
I’m a big fan of the silver green on the 1966 Eldorado in this photo. Any idea what the Cadillac color name is? https://savoymuseum.org/wayne-kady/
I have the feeling that a barbarian chieftain must have had in the sixth century, if he were to enter the now ruined and mostly abandoned City of Rome where he could see the Colosseum and the Pantheon still standing.
I know full well that my 2021 Toyota is mechanically better and will last far longer in regular daily use, but D@mn, those things were gorgeous.
I want to knock on those fins to investigate that sick sheet metal circle gridding those autists did at GM. Interesting about the distributor ships. Never heard about that. Wish it still was a thing! Great write up!

Here's a local 1959.

Oh that is PRETTY.
I had a serious thing for '59’s as a young turd-snapper, the '60-63 were a close second
what an absolute boat
cant help but love them either way
Tom; I really enjoy your classic luxury stories. Keep them coming! Love the Cadillacs.

I think that would be Crystal Firemist. https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pages/1966-cadillac
Other favorite Cadillac greens are Persian Lime Firemist in 74, Edinburgh Green in 77, Basil Green Firemist in 78 and Jadestone in 81.
Thanks. I'll look those up.
What was the last year for Firemist paints?
I'm thinking late 80s, early 90s. Autumn Maple Firemist was available on Broughams at least through 89.
