Casa de Cadillac is on Ventura Blvd in the San Fernando Valley, CA. It was built in 1950 and is still operating as a Cadillac dealership for more than 70 years. The mid century architecture was amazing to a 7 year old kid. My Dad took me there shortly after it opened. He was thinking of buying a Cadillac but decided it would be too ostentatious, and settled for a Pontiac instead. The building has been restored to it's former glory. It's quite a site to see at night with all of its neon lights, large windows, and of course the Cadillacs. Ron
