After finding this Eldorado on Ebay I decided to fly out to Upstate New York to inspect the car myself. I got on a plane at 10:00 pm on a Saturday, arrived in Rochester, NY at 9:30 am, checked the car out and did all the paperwork during my 5 hour stay and flew right back the same day arriving home at 10:30 pm. That was a long day but well worth the trouble and cost!

We took our visiting friends Gerald and Afra on the Three Bridge Tour. First we stopped at the Port of Oakland for a photo shoot and continued on to Treasure Island to put the top down and over the Bay Bridge into the city. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that nice but we still did the curvy Lombard Street and continued on over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito for a hot chocolate. After we warmed up we continued on back to the East Bay over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

We took advantage of a beautiful warm fall day to take Triple O on his first longer drive up to the Sierra Foothills. We visited Calaveras Big Trees State Park on Highway 4 with it's impressive Sequoia trees which are best viewed from a convertible with the top down :-) This was also the first outing of the new vanity plates!

A little get-together of the local Cadillac group and David, the previous and current owner of our former cerise colored '75 Coupe Deville was so nice to come by so we could reunit the two '75s for a photo.

The previous owner did a partial repaint on the sides of the car but it was done in a way to preserve the factory accent stripes in all it's glory.

What better excuse to take TripleO on a road trip to the 2009 Cadillac LaSalle Club Grand National car show in Las Vegas on 06/20/2009! We headed directly to LV the day before the show via the Central Valley which took us a total of 11 hours for the 570 mile drive. Everything went as planned except for the safety relay turning off the air condition for the last 90 miles. After the show we headed for Palm Springs for a day of relaxation and to spent some time with car minded friends. Then on to Santa Barbara via Los Angeles, onto the beach at Pismo Beach and finally back home. It was a great 1,517 miles with a surprising fuel mileage of 13.6 mpg!

Here are some photos of TripleO in the "show room" during the Cadillac LaSalle Club Grand National car show in Las Vegas on 06/20/2009. It was an indoor show event that was a lot of fun but unfortunately the lighting was not bright enough for taking photos without a flash without getting them blurry!
