Land Yacht anchored in Lake Tahoe

Fins where sighted close to shore, or more correctly, on shore in South Lake Tahoe this weekend. Rain, sleet, nor snow could keep this 1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVille from dropping anchor near the Tahoe Queen (seen in the backround). The 1961 Cadillacs featured both upper and lower pedestrian impaling tail fins gracing the port and starboard sides, making any other car look like a fish out of water. This space-age land yacht reflects the optimistic American time in which it was produced. The personal luxury space-craft of the future.

Cadillac Seville Stretch

Here is something that I have never seen before. A custom made long-wheelbase Seville. I have seen many variations on the first generation Sevilles made 1975-1979, but never a 1980-1985 Seville like this one. The quality of the paint and body, and the level of fit and finish are first-rate. It looks to have been coach built when the car was new. I did some research, and I think this may be a "Opera Sedan" built by Grandeur Motor Car Corp. The roof line has been modified as well. I spotted this pimped-out specimen in front of a pizza pallor in Pleasanton, CA. No doubt he will be ordering his pizza with every topping available.

1953 Cadillac

Here is a 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan, spotted on the street in San Jose, CA. I've seen this car driven around town several times, and I finally was able to photograph it. Well-worn, but intact, she's a stout old girl, a little lacking in the social graces, but a lady just the same. She even has factory A/C, as evidenced by the air scoops on the quarters.
