Curbside Classic Outtake: Dubble Caddies

As we were walking home through the Lane Events Center parking lot, where a Tattoo Convention was in high gear, I noticed the 1970 Caddy in the distance, and as soon as I saw the big dubs, I kept walking. They generally just don’t do it for me. But then I thought, what the hell, it might mike a good Outtake. And as I walked around the other side of it and raised my camera, I realized I’d stumbled into another two-fer. With matching dubs, no less.
Not only that, but the Escalade was of the very first generation ones; a veritable Curbside Classic in the making. And my appreciation of the Coupe De Ville was quickly growing, being a relatively tasteful mild custom.

A real car made in USA with quality parts although I don't get why anyone would spoil the ride with those cartoon wheels. Last night I drove behind a 1969 lincoln Mark III which looks so good on the road in contrast to today's appliance cars. The Escalade however is basically a junkpile of Chinese and Mexican parts. My boss has an '07 Escalade which is on it's 3rd tranny, 2nd engine, 2nd steering rack and the "check engine" light has been on for 2 years. The GM dealership's service department makes the Three Stooges look like Carol Shelby and crew.
I think this is my old Caddy. Anyone know how to track it down. My dad got it for me at 16 and i kept it 18 years and then regretably sold it. I'd love to buy it back some day. That car's like a piece of me!
