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.
( Did you get your new Cadillac? Yes, It's already been hit )

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 (http://www.clcpotomacregion.org/forms/CLCPR.1704Newsletter.pdf), 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
Watched it recently; it holds up pretty well!
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.
