1966 Cadillac Calais
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner Scott Moore
for participation in the the 2008 GM Century Cruise
Our 1966 Cadillac has been in my wife Michele’s family for over 25 years. Her Dad is a Cadillac lover and collector, and this was his first classic vehicle. He has since purchased a few other classic Caddy’s including a 1958 Sedan DeVille and a 1969 Convertible. My wife and I always have been very fond of the 1960’s and have been collectors of household memorabilia, furniture, books & magazines from the era for years. We even found a home that was custom built in 1960 in classic California Contemporary style. The “finishing touch” to our 1960’s lifestyle collection would be the 1966 Cadillac.
After many years of admiring her Dad’s car, he finally offered to sell it to us in 2003. We are very proud of the vehicle and it fits in very well at our home. Our children, friends and other family members love to cruise Woodward on warm summer nights with all the windows down. It is admired by many for it’s long straight lines and huge quarter panels. To us, the style is very clean and sophisticated and truly represents the feeling of the mid-60s. It is now a permanent part of our family...
