Back in the late 1990's when I was working at Met Life in Rochester, New York a younger man came to work with us who had grown up in Baltimore Md. where Tin Men was filmed and at that time he told me he worked as a Bellman at the Hotel that Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito were staying at while filming the Movie. One morning he said he was present when the two men were entering a new Cadillac to take them to where they were filming and he herd DeVito say to Dreyfuss ( this isn't a Cadillac, the cars we're driving in the Movie are real Cadillac's ) I will never forget him telling me that, a fun tidbit about one of my favorite movies.

Tin Men was filmed in my hometown of Baltimore before I was a CLC member.  View the story on its 30th anniversary in the April 2017 issue of the Caddie Chronicle, pages 7-9.

Lots of vintage (mainly) 60s Cads in Tim Men. Worth a watch. Clay/Lexi

When Mike McEvoy and I started  (what is now the Western New York Region) you Bill, were indeed one of our most enthusiastic members.  The club has moved on to Buffalo now, but I still remember those get togethers in my back yard around the pool.  I bet we parked 25 or 30 cars back there.  Great times.  Most of those people are gone now

Dear Tony, My Friend
 
 We indeed had many good times. I will never forget the show day you showed up with the Bahama Blue 1956 Biarritz and you said ( Bill, I brought one you've never seen ) and the look on your face when I told you I first say the car in 1972 in Pennsylvania in front of the Zimmerman Auto Museum and had photographed it. LOL
