This Cadillac has toured throughout the Pacific Northwest including most recently a 1,200 mile 8-day tour of Oregon and northern California. From sea-level at the Oregon coast up to the 7,000 foot level at Crater Lake Lodge, this Cadillac did not miss a beat and easily kept up with modern freeway traffic. If you are looking for a Full Classic™ Cadillac that can take you anywhere you want to go in style, this is it. We know it could not be restored to this level today for the asking price.
