 Good thread.

When I first met my wife, I was just starting my apprenticeship and I was taking the bus to work. I had an old beater '66 Impala I was fixing up. I finally got it on the road and we had wheels. I had next to no money, and did what I could with what I had.

But she knew I was a car fanatic, and even then I had a bent to Cadillacs. Cars have always been a big part of both our lives.

I brought my '70 Fleetwood home from the dealer where I worked, and I really wanted it, and I could actually afford it. I was expecting a bit of resistance, but she said go for it. I have had that car now for almost 15 years. And I will always have it.

She has always loved big cars, her forst car was a '70 Olds Delta 88 Royale with a 455. She loved it. But I bought her her first Cadillac in 1995, an '84 Coupe deVille. She then got an '86 Fleetwood Brougham which was recently stolen and now she has an almost identical '89 Brougham. She will never drive anything but a Cadillac now.

Look what happens when you spoil them.

Misty doesn't know about this thread but today she asked when she could drive the 60 again.  I guess there's nothing like driving a Cadillac.
