My son got to sit in Joe Bortz' restored La Salle 11 roadster from the 54 Motorama, you can see the unrestored La Salle 11 sedan in the backround

Amelia Island Concours
The Cadillac was invited to the Amelia Island Concours, it was a hit. I was parked next to the 1959 Cyclone, what an honor.

1961 Cadillac Eldorado
She was originally called Le Mans and she was obviously changed for the 1962 Chicago Auto Show with a a wreath and crest on the trunk lid, the letters ELDORADO replacing the Le Mans badge and a grille that reflected the new 1962 models.She looks way better in this configuration and it would be historically accurate to restore her to this stage in her life. These pictures were sent from GM's archives, they were taken on the patio at the design studios in Detroit. There is tons of stuff slowly coming out about this car, it's exciting.

1961 Cadillac Eldorado
I just bought this, one of one, original Bill Mitchell design study shown at the 1962 Chicago Auto Show, it's totally unique, it has custom features out the ying yang, it's a dream car.

Billetproof 2012, Best Custom
A remarkable fresh build, sectioned some five inches, chopped maybe four, it was based on a genuine Ford Victoria hardtop. The taillights and dashboard were both taken from a 56 Oldsmobile, the grill bar is a 53 Chevy front bumper overrider. It took Best Custom, very well deserved.

The greatest painter that ever lived.
I replaced the perfectly fine Chevy logo tag badge with a gay pink plastic one that I made, just because. This truck is getting close my friends.




Came back from the tour and went to Chuck Burns' annual Christmas party, don't know which one this was but it's been going on for years and years. Good times with my ol friends.
