A buddy called me last week and asked if I wanted to ride shotgun. Said he was going to look at two Cadillac station wagons.

No pictures in the ad, and we didn't see them before they were gone, but apparently one had a lift-off top like the Broncos and Rancheros had.

I called BS. Then I went poking around on Google...

Eldocaminoville?




I found that image here...

Good chance that was a flowercar.

Caddy has a 2012 wagon with a 556hp motor. Crazy!

You're probably right, Sam. I don't think the seller had a clue, but I wish I could have seen them all the same.

Did you check that link? Some nice "family truckster" creations in there.

It was a flower car. I used to work at Cadillac and worked on them all through the years. Even on a 2010 Deville with a pickup style back / flower car.

Nice sunny spring weekend here, wish I could say the Willys is ready for traffic but alas it is not Spotted a couple other folks out enjoying the weather though........

Spotted this nice Nova on Saturday....



Saw a friend out today with his '64 Chevy II but didn't get a pic. Did snap a couple of this fine F-1 though.....





He's a local guy, the truck runs a big block Ford sitting in a Plymouth Volare front clip. He's also building a '40 Ford car with a 'Flattie'
