Message: 2012 4th Annual Saratoga Invitational Concours, Part 5, The Caddies..... Early Birds.... Caddies '06, '47, '52 and '65.... Caddies across the pond.... The Front Line.... My pic doesn't do justice to this spectacular '49 Club Coupé. It's dark metallic blue paint looked a mile deep. The judges liked it, too.... This '52 Fleetwood is an unrestored car, with under 16,000 original miles on the clock.... I didn't get a shot of the placard for this 1957 Eldorado Seville.... Although the owner displayed this rare and valuable "Bat Wing" air filter, the car was equipped with only a single four barrel carb.... There were also some GM "poor relations" on display. This '42 Buick Special woodie was very impressive.... And I really liked this little '49 Styline DeLuxe droptop that was parked out with the po' folks..... PLEASE SUPPORT THE ZONE! ....and thanx fur lookin'!

Why did I ever sell my El Dorado Brougham or 1960 CDV Hardtop? (EOM) by David Hosea #42942.4

Yeah, David, that's a good question. Probably good $$$$ at the time? (EOM) by Gene Herman #42942.4.1

True but 10 grand then on the El Do and 3500 for the 60 CDV now 60 -100K for both. 20/20 hindsight (EOM) by David Hosea #42942.4.1.1

Yeah, David, that do sting just a l'il bit! (EOM) by Gene Herman #42942.4.1.1.1

You're welcome and thanx, Brian. Sorry there wasn't a '59 Buick flattop on the field. (EOM) by Gene Herman #42942.5.1

It's okay, Gene! We couldn't have allowed one of the GM "poor relations" -- like this -- (PIC) by Brian Laurance #42942.5.1.1

Loved every pic and wish there were more! Thanks for your fine effort! You did great! (EOM) by Steve Jacobs #42942.6
