    This may be a WTF question
    but for HISTORY SAKE

    Is there any nick-names for early cad motors?
    any slang?

    are they just known as the 331 and the 365 etc?

    the early ones are known as the 346, unless you have a LaSalle, then they go by the name 322.

    The late model OHVs are like you said...or

    How about incorporating the old Dagmar lingo. The bullets on the front of those midfifties caddys were compared to the breasts of a certain hollywood starlet with the last name Dagmar. Nice set of Dagmars tuck, nice set. My dad said the deal had better be sweet. I'll see about postin a pic so you can have some private time with your computer. I'm out!!

    C'mon, I ain't that easy. Besides, you need to make the trip out here with Jer. I guess he is thinkin about the weekend after easter. The choppers show in cleveland is that weekend. Combine that with a couple nudie bars, and that trip back to minn. should seem like a week. Cadiracs and Rincolns baby

    Her last name wasn't Dagmar - that was her ONLY name on stage after she hit TV, on Broadway Open House. She was given that name by Jerry Lester, the host. The postal service even designed a stamp for her.

    Well, my user name says it all, caddylak man. But I am reffered to by friends as the caddylak kid, the caddylak man, and "the friendly stranger in the black sedan". And if I walk into another bar and hear somebody play "slick black cadillac" I'm gonna puke.
