Monthly MeetUp and Cadillac Trivia
Leo M’s 1962 Cadillac Series 62, Personalized My father's first Cadillac was a black 1959 Coupe de Ville and he had a black Cadillac from that day for-ward (until his passing in 2011). Following in that tradition began several years ago when I asked my wife how she felt about us buying a 1969 Cadillac since that was her birth year. Once I had her hooked, I found this beauty which is actually my birth year (1962). All original, but lowered 3" (Jamco Kit). The DTLV picture is actually photoshopped to a pre-canopy era; however, that is definitely how we would have done it during that time. Leo Magrdichian, LCSW, LCADC
Added Note: Well, I guess we can add the fact that one Cadillac just isn’t enough. Since the 62 is not con-sidered my daily driver, I made the decision to remedy that situation by purchasing another Black Cadillac. Say hello to my 2015 Cadillac Escalade “daily driver”. If by chance I get a third one, I might need a referral to a self help group (Cadillacs Anonymous).

Hello Friends.
Welcome Roy Knudsen 1940 Lasalle Model or style no 40-5219 Body no 3371 Trim no 54 Paint no 15 2021 Well, we are off to a fair start of another year. The vac-cine is rolling out, slowly but moving. Our club is still strong, and we are trying to keep the faith. I believe we will get through this mess and come out the other side better than be-fore. We are trying to come up with things we can do safely as a club. Outdoor events, driving trips, small gatherings all are being looked at for possible things to do.
CLC National winter board meeting is coming up at the end of February, If anyone has question you would like me to bring up please let me know. I will be happy to try to find out the answers.

Cadillac’s first concept car
In 1905, Cadillac founder Henry Leland took customer care
to the next level, by insisting on developing a completely
enclosed body for Cadillac cars. This body was quickly de-
veloped by the Detroit Wilson Body Company, which previ-
ously specialized in equipping coaches. So it is not surpris-
ing that this novelty was made of wood, resembling a car-
riage, as if horses would be seen ahead of it.
