That wasn't a Caddy.

After the 50's & 60's era, Caddy, Lincoln are all the same to me

As i get older the thought of owning a Caddy or Lincoln becomes more appealing by the day

i get it now.

If ever i was Moving Up i would trade in my car for a Caddillac

That has to be a stunt driver because with his weight the car wouldn't lean on left turns.

I got a ride in a car once that seemed to be a Chrysler version of the Lincoln Continental. Two door, deep buttoned padded interior (not just the seats) and little opera glass windows in the sail panels.

I wonder what model Chrysler it was?

Bet it was a New Yorker Dave!

Could have been.

I might be getting two cars mixed up in my head. I remember oval windows. Another mate around the same time had a very similar Buick. The two cars have blended in my memory I think.

Could have been an Imperial, Dave, like the one Dave Long(shot) used to have... now with RR/JC - that had/has a nice buttoned leather interior, if memory serves

4 door tho, not like that 'sporty' 2 dr Lincoln that Frank Cannon is driving

Scanned this old photo, must have been taken in the late 90's, of my 68 Fleetwood and 60 Convertible doing a wedding. Used to do a lot of weddings back then as the only way i could justify owning the cars was if they paid their way.

That's a lovely picture

thanks for posting.

You cannot beat those old big cars for weddings, driving something you love and earning a few quid to keep them on the road, it's better than working for a living!

Found the International Harvester near to the Caddy at the start of this thread, and another caddy on a container at a scrapyard. Also found a matt black Chrysler in West Bromwich. I should know what it is but guessing at a late 60s Newport or maybe a New Yorker???

Cheers Steve

PS Andy (Motorama) kindly let me have a look at the white Caddy for sale on this thread yesterday, its a lovely old girl, and looks MASSIVE!
