UP NEXT.......(Free NOS Spring offer!!)

The biggest and boldest hood ornament of them all, the Fleetwood series unit.  This was also part of the estate sale group.  This is NOT a crappy repro that has the wrong colors and cheap chrome.  It's a legit Cadillac used part from back in the day.  Great chrome shine, no pitting, and decent color...(Note: I recommend you give the clear lucite a good polish/buff and the colors might be more vivid).  Truly a survivor because these were made high quality back in the day.  

APPLICATION:

1974-1976 FLEETWOOD 
1971-1978 ELDORADO

**** ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE A COUPLE OF THE HARD-TO-GET SPRINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO MOUNT THIS....INCLUDING IT WITH THIS ORNAMENT AT NO EXTRA COST (See Pic).  THESE ARE N.O.S. (NEW OLD STOCK FROM THE 1970'S-80'S) THAT WILL PULL IT TIGHTLY TO THE BASE.  THIS IS A $15 ITEM SEPARATELY IN MY OTHER AUCTION.****

NOTE:  This is fully a General Motors original part, made over 37++ years ago.  This is NOT a reproduction by a Third Party...who generally offer poorer quality items with less accuracy (I posted a sample showing how the crest coloring is typically incorrect, and how the shine looks rather fake to the chrome.  Many "reproduction" or "Cadillac authorized versions" tend to stray from originality like this.  Very disappointing!).  Be assured...I sell you ONLY the REAL THING from G.M....not from an overseas factory doing cheap knock-offs.  When they say "NEW", it does NOT mean "New Old Stock (NOS)" from General Motors.  Buyers beware!


I recently purchased a box of vintage Cadillac hood ornaments, emblems and misc parts from the estate of a former Cadillac mechanic....who served for 20+ years between the mid 1970's to 1990's.  He apparently had an appreciation for crests/wreaths, and had a modest collection of them in NOS  and/or mint condition examples.  He did not retain the original boxes, as they were in a glass case for display.  I am identifying this collection and posting these pristine examples over the next few weeks, so that they can find homes on the vintage cars they truly deserve.  Using my Master Parts books, I will identify the applications as best I can, but as always, the final determination for use on your car is your responsibility.  

I HAVE MANY 1971-78 ELDORADO PARTS...MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR NEEDS~!

Lambo Super Trofeo Stradale (2011) at Frankfurt motor show

Mon, 12 Sep 2011

Lamborghini tonight whisked the covers off the new £195,000 Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale supercar on the eve of the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. It’s the roadgoing version of the Super Trofeo race cars that compete in the European Blancpain Super Trofeo championship, a one-make series for Gallardos and their racier and richest owners. Hence the Stradale name – it’s Italian for road.

Hiromu Naruse: ‘Godfather’ of the LFA ‘Not Famous Enough’

Fri, 11 Feb 2011

Hiromu Naruse & Lexus LFA Last year we reported the death of Hiromu Naruse, Toyota’s chief test driver and a man considered to be the ‘Godfather’ of the Japanese performance car, and particularly the Lexus LFA, a car which consumed the last decade of his life and became the final testament to his enormous skill. At 67, Naruse-san was still as involved as ever, and it was whilst driving a Lexus LFA with the Nurburgring Package he met his end on a public road near the Nurburgring. A track, incidentally, he had driven more than any other Japanese driver.
