I love the car, I pored over it Amelia Island, but I also don't think it's a Cadillac, it is a custom, it is very special but it isn't a Cadillac, the same way my 1934 Ford hot rod is not a Packard although it has a Packard engine.

Nadeem, I would've much rather seen your car on the front cover than this.  It's a significant car in Cadillac history.

That would be nice, I appreciate it very much.

Has it even be featured in the Self-Starter? If not it needs to be, it must be one of the most significant Cadillac "discoveries" in the last decade!

All,

I realize there are many more back issue to read, but has a hearse or an ambulance ever graced the cover of the Self-Starter?


See the May 2014 cover of The Self-Starter for a photo of a 1939 LaSalle ambulance.

I think the best approach would be to take some very high quality photos of your car if you don't have them already along with an article and submit them to Tim Coy and Steve Stewart.  I can see you car making it in.

Nadeem needs to bring the car to Brookfield WI this summer for the Grand National and hang with the Brougham guys.  We will still talk to him if he brings the '61 instead of the '60 EB.

Ha, ha, thanks David. It would be something I'd really like to do, not sure I can this year though.

Chris, Yes, there has been a hearse on the cover of the S/S. I saw the car and it was fantastic. A 1939 Cadillac.
