A nother year has gone by. I remember when I was a young-ster and the school year would

last forever…not such a good thing. The summer vacation time also seemed to go on forever, which was a good thing.

Not anymore. “It will be Christmas before you know it.”

I’m looking at a copy of the past board meeting minutes in Las Vegas, and there has been much accomplished, which is always the case.

We have established a commercial cars for sale heading on our website, over-seen by Vince Taliano. The 1959–1960 owners now have their own Chapter; hopefully, next will be the Authenticity Manual to help in the restoration pro-cess. Contact Bill Anderson to help by being a contributor.

In Sweden, a thing of joy, the Affiliates have achieved full status: congratula-tions. There is an official obit policy that

states the requirements to all National members. This policy also states to all Regional members whose contributions have been in their Regions that their obit will be featured in their Regional-level communications, such as newsletters, etc.

We are always considering and reviewing technology, as in operational programs for the benefit of all members. The ongoing revision to the judging pro-cess is, as they say, “ongoing.”

Should you be in Michigan, do visit the CLCMRC Museum and see the new displays, particularly the Wall of Fame as managed by Gary Fisher and his com-mittee. Also, the five RVPs, the Chapter liaison and the International VP are your conduits from the National to all Regions, Chapters and Affiliates. They are there to help you succeed, as wit-nessed by their reports. Keep in mind,

there is always room for improvement by all of us. Moving on.

I’m flipping through past issues of the self-starter and see that the maga-zine has again won gold, that being the 12th Golden Quill Award: that’s work! These are the reasons why: Trip to the Broadmoor Hotel and their Cadillacs. The 1958 Raindrop Cadillac, and a trip to the Grand European. Featured the XLR 2004–2009 and station wagons. Profile of Chaplain Phil Compton, keep-ing the faith, and 1941 Cads.

Our friend Ron VanGelderen and his impact on all of us. Singer Jim Reeves’ 1960 Cadillac Seville. Dan Ammann, president of GM, and his 1961 con-vertible, just love that car. Wedding time and an Argentinian “Woody,” not Woody Rohrbach. The Las Vegas GN, what else can I say?

The magazine featured the 1966 Cadillac’s 50th Anniversary, I like it. More Woodys, see note above, and going way out of town to visit the Wangaratta 2016 Meet in Australia. Another 1961, this time an Eldorado Biarritz, a unique show car. GM should have built this Eldorado…it’s distinctive. This is just the short list of articles and features, etc.

I personally enjoy our Golden Quill Award-winning publication, the self-starter, so tell Steve Stewart, Maggi Stewart and Tim Coy a job extremely well done!

Special invitation…I’ll be on my way to the Peach State Region to attend their annual Christmas Banquet, to be held Dec. 10, at the Atlanta Country Club. Can you believe this—a member of their Region is paying my roundtrip airfare, and I will be staying with friends during my three-day visit. Wow, keep that in mind if you would like to be my new best friend. I love this Club!

See you in America. —Dave

NOTE TO MEMBERSThis is the last issue of the self-starter for 2016, as the CLC does not publish or mail a separate December issue.


A s of this writing, we’ve just completed and proofed the 2017 CLC International

Membership Directory, which is one of the perks of membership, is filled with information and we trust you will enjoy.

While proofing this work is tedious, I personally enjoy looking at certain sections. Which states have the fewest and most members? Then, search the states I’ve lived in to see if any former acquaintance of mine is a member, those states being…Illinois, Connecticut, Florida and Michigan. All well represented, but no personal friends from the past. We have members in the well-known European cities—London and Paris. Then there’s Patrick MacDonell, who lives in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, with his 1947 Series 60 Special. He could likely give us some tips on winter motoring.

The cars from all years are represented; interestingly though, two years (1904 and 1909) are represented by only one car. The range? We have five cars from 1903 and one (an XT5) from 2017—I feel a potential story coming on. As usual, the pre-war year best represented is 1941 and the post-war year best represented is 1976, year of “the last convertible.” Notice I put that in quotation marks, so, please, no emails on how this was not the last convertible. Yes, the Directory is a wealth of info, and we hope you enjoy it.

Then comes our magazine, which has won an unbroken string of Golden Quill awards starting with the Michaline Larson editorship in the ’90s. the self-starter represents one of the finest cars ever made in the U.S., Cadillac, and its companion, the LaSalle. It follows that a magazine about these cars should be a special journalistic effort and have the images of these cars portrayed in an artistic, clear manner. The people closest to all this are a relatively small

band—myself as editor, Maggi as copy editor, then Tim Coy as art director. Next would be Publications Committee Chair Bob Crimmins, who lets this creativity reign in a positive atmosphere. So, who really is responsible for this success? It is you, the members.

Without the members who take the time to sit down and write something about their experiences and submit sup-portive images, we would have absolutely nothing. To those who have made con-tributions to the publication, all I can say is, “Thank you very much.” I realize that many of you are not writers, and the fact that you, fueled by a burning inspiration about your Cadillac/LaSalle experiences, took time out of your life to write a “piece,” gather images and send it all to me, makes you the stars of the show. No stories, no magazine, no award.

It’s like a corporate mortgage origi-nator: “What did you do for me today and how much is in the pipeline?” The magazine that never sleeps! Again, after looking at the Directory, I know there are at least some 6,000 stories out there on

various topics. The requirements for photography have been posted on the website, and I ask would-be authors to check them. We live in a digital age, and clear, artistic images that “pop” are essential to the publication.

Writing? Stories fall into four categories:

1.) Historical—Some aspect of Cadillac history that encompasses a particular car or time. This is the self-starter V-16 Author of the Year territory. When tackling these topics, please do thorough research and footnote. There are folks in the Club who have memorized large chunks of Master Parts Lists and specialize in esoterica. I hear from them occasionally.

2.) Restoration—The fun and foibles of bringing a survivor back to concours condition.

3.) Technical—Have a knack for repairing your car? Share your findings and knowledge.

4.) Regional Activities—Your Region do something unusual lately that’s worth writing about? Send it in. Perhaps it will inspire someone to join or start a Region where none exists.

In submitting a piece, do not send it “laid out.” That is Tim Coy’s job, and he does it well. Submit one final article that is your best effort; please, no series of ongoing revisions. Remember to identify all the cars and people in the images; yes, “Everyone knows Artie Wilson and his ’54,” but I’ve never had the plea-sure. Be sure to electronically submit the article in a “Word doc” format that permits editing; there is little more frus-trating than receiving a submission via surface mail that obviously was written on a computer.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! See ya next year!

The 1941 Cadillac 6267D Convertible Coupe owned by members Lee and Floy Barthel sold for $60,000 at the Sept. 3 Leake Motor City Auction in Detroit, with the proceeds to come to the Cadillac & LaSalle Club Museum & Research Center.

The Barthels were honored during the Cadillac Fall Festival later in September. Thanks to the efforts of Richard Dormois, the car was preregistered for the Cadillac Fall Festival, and the new owner attended.

The Museum’s 1989 Cadillac Seville Sedan sold as well, with $3,500 coming in from that sale.

All in all, we had a couple of good days at the auction.

CADILLAC STYLE

Re-creating a timeless art form…

ver since Los Angeles busi-nessman Earle C. Anthony reportedly first introduced the use of “liquid fire” for his “Packard” sign sitting atop a downtown hotel in 1923, out-door signage has always been

a big part of the automotive industry. From headquarters buildings in Detroit to the local dealer on Main Street, highly visible signs were integral to the various branding and advertising programs.

Companies like the Walker Sign Co. of Detroit specialized in producing custom signs for local dealers from the 1930s until the 1960s. These vintage signs are now much sought-after by automobile enthusiasts everywhere. One of the first and probably the most famous of the large outdoor signs was the Cadillac-LaSalle sign from the early 1930s.

THE CADILLAC-LaSALLE DETROIT BRANCH SALES & SERVICE BUILDING SIGN…The GM Heritage Center recently com-missioned the development of a scale reproduction of the Cadillac-LaSalle sign that was displayed on the company’s Detroit Branch Sales & Service build-ing in downtown Detroit in the 1930s. Having this magnificent 50-foot-high sign on the corner no doubt made it one of the most memorable automotive buildings in Detroit back in the day.

By Greg Wallacephotos courtesy general motors heritage center

E


The reproduction has been scaled to 12 feet in height, with approximately the same proportions as the original. The result is a truly unique piece of transpor-tation memorabilia that would enhance any car collection or automotive facility.

The original sign was displayed on the Cadillac-LaSalle Detroit Branch Sales & Service building for many years. Sometime in the 1970s, long after Cadillac had closed its Detroit Branch, the sign was taken down and stored on the roof of the building. The building has changed ownership several times in the years since it was used by Cadillac. It is believed that the original sign was

scrapped during the early 1990s, but there is no record of an exact date or if, in fact, it was scrapped.

Extensive research in GM’s archives produced only black-and-white pho-tographs of the sign. As a result, the Heritage Center staff decided to base the sign’s color scheme on other Cadillac-LaSalle signs from that era. The Heritage Center also chose to use neon to illumi-nate the lettering in order to improve the sign’s reliability and brilliance.

In addition to attention to quality and exacting details, this sign integrates the benefits of modern technology into the timeless design from an earlier era.

THE WALKER SIGN CO. catalog of 1941 provided an extensive offering of premier dealership signs. Nothing said it like “Cadillac—Standard of the World,” in neon.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA of the height of this sign, note the height of the young lady standing next to it.


The power transformers used will last more than 50,000 hours. The body of the sign is constructed of high-strength, non-corrosive aluminum, it is painted with the most durable enamels and then hand-assembled by some of this coun-try’s finest sign craftsmen at Industrial Neon Co. in Houston.

Industrial Neon has been build-ing signs for GM and its dealers since the 1930s and still uses many of the original design techniques, including hand-drawn blueprints.

Only four of these Cadillac-LaSalle signs will be custom produced to order. The first reproduction is currently

displayed in the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Mich.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF ILLUMINATED GM DEALER SIGNS…..The earliest dealership signs utilized wood letters mounted on a metal back-ground. These early signs generally had no night illumination. In some places, gas lamps were used to make the signs more visible. As electric lighting became available, it enabled even small dealers in the 1920s to illuminate metal-porcelain signs with light bulbs contained in simple, folded metal sign covers.

In the later 1920s, larger dealerships utilized more elaborate painted metal signs that featured translucent milk glass letters. The letters were illuminated by light bulbs located inside the metal boxes. Later, colored glass letters were used to provide more interesting and attractive displays.

With the introduction of neon tech-nology in the early 1930s, dealerships began to utilize basic neon signs. Most dealerships converted to some kind of neon sign in the years prior to WWII.

Beginning in the late 1940s and into the 1950s, GM dealers converted to larger, more elaborate porcelain-neon signs. They

ranged from five to 20 feet in height. Neon technology offered a wide range of color and design options. This is the era from which the GM Heritage Collection has selected its first series of six signs.

The 1960s saw the introduction of a new GM dealer identity program. The new one-piece, molded plastic signs pro-vided a contemporary appearance with a lower maintenance cost. These internally lighted signs still use banks of neon tub-ing to furnish the overall illumination.

GM’s Media Archive contains a large collection of photos of amazing neon signs that were built over the years for GM dealers. There are signs for single-brand dealers, dual-brand dealers and some for dealerships that sold almost all of GM’s product portfolio. Several of those signs are under consider-ation for future development by the Heritage Center.

THE GM HERITAGE CENTER’S VINTAGE NEON DEALER SIGN PROGRAM…The Heritage Center’s vintage neon dealer sign program began as a result

of the increased interest in collecting the early dealer signs. While original signs in various states of repair could be found or purchased at swap meets, flea markets or from collectors, the signs usually required extensive repair and expense to be made workable again. The Heritage Center felt that they were best positioned to develop reproductions of the GM signs and launched this program in 2005.

The program’s goal was to make high-quality, American-made, exact-scale GM dealer signs available to enthusiasts and collectors in a size that is compatible with today’s display spaces and homes. To date, the program has delivered more than 250 signs to customers around the country.

In addition to the limited-edition

Oldsmobile, Pontiac and a Corvette sign custom-designed by the late Chuck Jordan, former vice president of Design for General Motors, chief designer of the 1959 Cadillac and member of the original Corvette design team.

The entire collection of 13 vintage neon GM dealer signs can be seen online at gmphotostore.com.

BELOW: No recall issues amuses lots of other drivers/observers.

ABOVE: Dr. Ziemer’s 1952 Style No. 6219 Sedan. Basic price was $3,636 and 42,625 were produced.

W hen people see my car, they ask me all kinds of questions: “Is that a Packard?” “Is it for sale?”

“Do you take it to car shows?” “How long have you owned it?” “Can you still get parts for it?” “How long have you owned it?” (Wish I could say since new.)

Since my first car was a 1950 Cadillac that I bought in 1963 and wrote about in a previous issue of the self-starter—“Education by Cadillac”—I looked in the Club Directory for a 1952, the 50th anniversary model, and found one in a garage about 20 miles away from me. When I called the owner to ask if it was for sale, he said, “Yes, I sold my house and need to sell the car.”

A local mechanic went with me to check it out, and said, “Everything on

here is fixable,” so I bought it and had it trailered to my place, where I spent four hours vacuuming the pet hair from the original interior. Then, off to the garage it went for repairs and Pennsylvania state inspection.

After spending several grand of dollars for a four-core radiator, master brake cylinder, transmission rebuild, radio rebuild, NOS speedometer, windshield wiper motor, soldering the gas tank, stainless steel exhaust, Group 2 battery, four Michelin tires and a change of all fluids, I was ready to drive it.

It had 53,000 miles on it, and now after 11-plus years of enjoyable owner-ship, it has 84,800 miles, or enough to have gone around the equator once.

It has always started, runs flawlessly and receives regular maintenance from two mechanics—one of whom said, “We worked on these cars when they were

new.” Thanks to NAPA, Kanter, All Cads and USA Parts and Supply, I’m able to buy all it needs for tune-ups and inspections.

It has won second place in two Cadillac car shows, only because it’s an original car more than a pristine show car. It serves to take military persons too feeble to walk in local Memorial Day parades. Family thinks I can afford better technology than this car, but it works for me, and as long as there is no salt on Pennsylvania roads, it is driven two to three times a week throughout the year.

The best view of the “baby Cadillac” of that vintage is from the driver’s seat,

FROM THE TOP: What moves this “Senior Citizen”? Yup: 331-cubic-inch V-8. ¶ Original interior except for floor carpet. ¶ The best view is from behind the wheel.


as it glides flawlessly along the highway, greeted by no less than Harley-Davidson cyclists who give it thumbs up, and by drivers at traffic lights, who roll down their windows to ask, “What year is that car?”

So, the “baby Cadillac” of ’52—the Golden Anniversary Cadillac, has reached the status of senior citizen on wheels, but is far from being retired. I thought one day I’d drive it to the Cadillac & LaSalle Club Museum to donate it, but this elderly lady still gives me more joy from a machine than I, as its even older owner, could ask. Wish I owned a fleet of them.

Of course, one more amenity would be to own a 1952 or 1953 model with air conditioning, but advice from the Bible (Hebrews 13:5) reads, “Be content with what you have,” and that works for me.

What started as a weekend gather-ing five years ago grew this past August into one

of the best meets anyone could ask for.With a turnout of 37 Allantés, two

XLRs and 72 guests, the Allanté-XLR Invitational was off and rolling. With the number of participants and cars pres-ent, the Invitational proved a success. Without Denny and Monica Backis of Holland, Mich., the event would have never happened.

It was three days of fun, driving tour, food, camaraderie, conversation, the Gilmore Car Museum, a car show at Harvey Cadillac, with a great awards dinner at Noto’s Italian Restaurant on Saturday evening. Over the past five years, Allanté-XLR Chapter of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club members would simply meet at Denny and Monica’s on Friday evening for a cookout before the 28th

Street Metro Cruise on Saturday. This year, the event was expanded to three days, with the Gilmore Car Museum driving tour, 28th Street Metro Cruise and the Harvey Cadillac car show being the centerpoints.

In November 2015, the club expanded on what was already a great event. The weekend is the same as the long-running 28th Street Metro Cruise in Grand Rapids. Simply put, club members would make reservations at a local hotel for the Friday evening before the 28th Street Cruise and then meet at Denny and Monica’s for a big cookout. While every-one was enjoying dinner, a detail crew was busy washing, waxing and polishing the Allantés and XLRs.

So, the thought was, why not make a good thing even better? Build an event around a driving tour, visit the Gilmore Museum, the already successful Friday evening cookout and the car show at Harvey Cadillac on Saturday while being

right in the middle of the 28th Street Metro Cruise. Then, add in a great awards dinner. The planning started. Over the next two months, the DoubleTree was chosen as the host hotel, with all the details being worked out, including how many rooms, first night’s dinner and parking arrangements. Arrangements were made with the Gilmore Car Museum and Harvey Cadillac, and the awards night restaurant was chosen.

Lots and lots of planning was needed to make the Invitational a success, and Denny and Monica pulled the event together. Every detail was explored, addressed and implemented to perfec-tion. Beginning with Thursday evening all the way through the conclusion of the awards banquet—details and decisions were made and finalized.

On Thursday afternoon, guests began to arrive at the hotel and received their Grundy goodie bags stuffed with lots of gifts to enjoy. A meet-and-greet dinner at the Gander Restaurant in the hotel came first. You would have never guessed 90-plus percent of these people did not know one another just a few hours before; the room was abuzz.

Friday morning after breakfast, it was time to gather for the trip to the Gilmore, a short drive over some of Michigan’s scenic, tree-lined, wind-ing and hilly roads. Chris Stewart of Ontario described it as the “Million Dollar Tour.” On arrival, overlooking all the Allantés and XLRs, he said it was the “Field of Dreams,” complete with a cornfield. The day was spent exploring the grounds and buildings housing spectacular cars, displays and auto memorabilia. Midafternoon, it was time to head to Denny and Monica’s in Holland. The drive was about an hour, where the Scrub and Grub Extravaganza took place. Lots of goodies were being prepared by Monica and crew. A true feast awaited. While there, participants renewed friendships and gained new ones, all the while enjoying great food.

Sadly, Saturday morning started off with dark skies and lots of rain, but hope was never lost. At about 10 a.m., Denny said, “Let’s head to Harvey Cadillac,” so everyone assembled in the hotel parking lot for the short trip to Harvey, where our front-row parking place was waiting. Once there, everyone gathered inside,

looking to the sky above; then about noon, the rain subsided and the sun came out brightly.

The rest of the afternoon was very enjoyable, with Mother Nature smiling on the event and all the Allantés and XLRs. Joe Rosso provided a catered lunch. The cars were judged while attendees checked out all the Allantés and XLRs, plus taking in the sights along 28th Street, with several enjoying a tour of Meijer Gardens. About 4 p.m., we headed to the hotel to freshen up for the evening’s award banquet.

Then, to Noto’s and for the evening’s excitement. Anticipation grew as to who might have won an award and the meal awaiting. Like Italian food? Noto’s is the place! Family-owned and operated, Tony Noto personally ensured that everyone was treated like royalty, with superb ser-vice, even a bocce ball court.

There was lots of conversation, loads of laughter and just a little vino. With dinner being a total success and a true delight and with the room being abuzz, it was time for the awards and lots of raffle items to be handed out.

In addition to the awards, everyone

Innovation was introduced at the Invitational with the use of “modern technology”—GPS and smartphones; everyone knew where and at what time to be at the next location and how to get there. In addition, the cars were broken up into smaller, more manage-able groups of nine for the tour. This made for a much more enjoyable tour. In marketing the event, links were on all the notifications sent out via email and Facebook. With this added feature, potential attendees could view all the venues which were going to be visited during the Invitational.

Allantés, XLRs, friends, fun, food, driving tour, great food, diverse ven-ues, a great restaurant and comfortable hotel—what more could one ask from an event? Attendees will be talking about the Invitational for a long time. Those who didn’t attend truly missed a great event.

1970s Cadillac Pickup RoundupBy David Rubin and Nick D’Andreaimages courtesy of the authors, bob winchell and tim cenowa

efore the brawny Cadillac Escalade EXT made its

debut for the 2002 model year, it was preceded in the

1970s by a wave of custom-made Cadillac pickups.

These car trucks were not made by Cadillac, but were

unmistakably Cadillacs, and, in some instances, even

sold by Cadillac dealers.

Before we take a look at some of these cars individually, let’s take a

look at the 1970s as a whole. What encouraged the demand for these

pickup Cadillacs? One would think it was a bleak time in the U.S., with

its economy under pressure; high interest rates and rising gas prices

conspiring to discourage frivolous purchases. On the other hand, the

Vietnam War had ended, and rock and roll was at a fevered pitch.

Was there also optimism? Demographically, more small family farms

operated in the 1970s versus now, but we do not believe that generated

the demand for Cadillac pickups. The 1970s were years of colorful,

vibrant styles. From the clothes you wore, to the color you chose for

your refrigerator, color and flash abounded. So, what is flashier than a

Cadillac turned into a pickup truck? Not much!

1970s Cadillac Pickup Roundup


The “Caribou Passenger Car Pickup,” manufactured by the Caribou Motor Corp. of South San Francisco, Calif., was available through Cadillac dealers or directly from the company. It was based on Coupe de Ville models from 1974 to the mid-1980s. One had to sup-ply one’s own car to get the Caribou modifications. The company boasted, “No matter where you go, the Caribou commands attention. A dream of one man—a reality for another, a desire for many…It’s Different.”1 Interestingly, the bed and upper body of the Caribou was a one-piece fiberglass section that extended from the windshield to the rear of the vehicle.2 According to Mike West’s article in the November–December 1997 issue of the self-starter, the fiberglass mold was not built to carry heavy loads, but laying down a sheet of plywood over the bed gave the space some utility.

Tim Pawl, who penned his own Caribou story in that same issue, reported that around 90 to 100 Caribous were built between 1972 and 1984. However, according to “Jeanette,” a visitor to a CLC Discussion Forum thread (about Caribou cars—March 18, 2010), wrote, “My father designed and made these cars. I believe that he only made about 60 or so. He passed away in 1990. His name was Lou Schorsch and it was a blast driving them when I was a teenager.”

conversion called the “Mirage Sports Wagon.” The Mirage sported rear quar-ter windows and a full padded top. The Cadillac Mirage Sports Wagon was cre-ated by Gene Winfield, who came to work with Traditional Coach Works from 1974–1977. Mirage Sports Wagons, along with sister cars the Castilian Fleetwood Estate Wagons, were offered through Cadillac dealers only, and were thus covered by the factory warranty.

The manufacturer’s literature states the pickup was designed “…for use by the discriminating sportsman, rancher, or gentleman farmer.” A hidden storage area was at the end of the floor bed.

The Mirage also offered an optional golf club door, circa 1932. According to a sales brochure curated by CLC mem-ber Bob Winchell, 234 Mirage Sports Wagons were built in 1975–1976. Don Joy covered these cars in great detail in the August 1998 the self-starter.

Two 1970s Cadillac pickups not cov-ered in prior the self-starters are “The Paris,” by American Custom Coachworks of Beverly Hills, Calif; and the “Roadster Sportsmobile,” by Continental Coachbuilders Ltd. of North Miami, Fla. American Custom Coachworks was primarily a limousine manufacturer and dealer that began operations in the 1950s.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Caribou Motor Corp. also offered rectangular headlight updates for 1971 through 1974 Cadillacs. ¶ Continental Coachbuilders offered something “elegant” and “different” with its “Roadster Sportsmobile” Eldorado pickup that would “complement any occasion from mining to dining.” At $25,900 in 1970s dollars, you’d need to hit the Mother Lode. ¶ The 1977–1986 product sheet for the Caribou Motor Corp.

Continental appears to have been part of a Florida conglomerate, with interests in such other businesses as limousines, freight carriers and industrial parks.

The Paris pickup was based on the downsized 1977–1979 Coupe de Ville. Once Cadillac changed the coupe’s body style in 1980, Paris pickup production stopped. We can only assume that the changes to the roof profile and decklid led to a lack of desire to redesign the pickup bed, or they did not like the way it looked, or both. Production numbers are not available for the Paris pickup, but a run of 200 is assumed, based on informal research by one co-author.

American Custom Coachworks attached the “Paris” name to a handful of other Cadillac-based offerings. For its 1981 model-year vehicles, one could order an Eldorado Paris Convertible, a Cadillac Paris Station Wagon, a Cadillac Paris Limousine (a stretched Sedan de Ville), or a Seville Paris Limousine (a stretched Seville).

The Roadster Sportsmobile was built on the 1977–1978 Eldorado chassis. The car featured rear quarter windows and vinyl top material from A-pillar to tail-light similar to the Mirage. Print ads for the Eldo pickup bragged about its avail-able teakwood bed, 24-karat gold plated emblems and an upgraded stereo system. Production numbers for the car are not readily available, but many examples can be found on Google Images, implying a fair number of these rigs were produced.

It should be mentioned that there were also a number of custom conversions built by individuals either from scratch or from old Coupe de Ville flower cars (for younger members, flower cars were used by funeral homes to carry flowers from the funeral home to the gravesite on the day of the funeral).3 The possi-bilities of these one-off conversions were endless and took on the imagination of the builder. Some builders used fiberglass to create their pickup bed area, while others used a combination of wood and metal. Some had functioning tailgates, some had stationary tailgates, while

3 Note the Caribou, Mirage and Paris were not made from flower cars. Most flower cars were typically based on the four-door commercial chassis.

others incorporated the tailgate, opening/closing, in the lifting of the bed cover.

Some builders raised the sides of the vehicle in order to raise the height of the bed area, while others utilized the trunk area of the vehicle to gain bed height. It is reasonable to assume converted flower cars were the easiest vehicles to start with, as most of the cutting and chop-ping was done, the only restriction was that you had to work with the conver-sion manufacturer’s canvas.

John Washburn » Washburn’s WisdomAdvice as I know it

Odds and ends

2 016 is fast drawing to a close and this is the last Washburn’s Wisdom for 2016. The article

will touch on a couple of topics, odds and ends, which are not related to each other, but will prove helpful to some of our members.

The first topic is the voltage regulator fuse and why it should be installed on our old LaSalles and Cadillacs that came equipped with voltage regulators and genera-tors. I’ve touched on this topic before, but this time, we’ll go into more detail on why these fuses are great insurance. I have passed the regulator fuse information on to a couple of other car magazines, Skinned Knuckles, and to the editor of The Colorado Classicist, pub-lished by the Colorado Region CCCA. If it was good enough for these magazines, then I should spend some time discuss-ing the issue in the self-starter.

The first picture [Picture No. 1] shows a new voltage regulator fuse from three angles. The screw that connects the fuse to the voltage regulator is incorrect for the Delco-Remy application as shown, by the arrow, in the first picture. This screw must be replaced with an 8 by 32 by ¾" long screw so that it will fit in the threads of the voltage regulator “B” terminal.

Picture No. 2 shows the same fuse from a different angle. The arrow points to the fusible link that can be seen on either side of the fuse’s porcelain hous-ing. The fusible link is what blows if the amperage spikes in the voltage regulator for any reason.

What causes the voltage regulator to fail? Dirty contact points often cause failure. If the points are dirty, a sudden surge of high current can weld the points together. This prevents the points from

generator and sometimes the battery. If the fuse blows, you then need to deter-mine what caused this by checking the complete charging circuit and resolving the problem prior to installing a new fuse.

Remember, we are discussing old volt-age regulators from the late 1930s up to the early 1950s, which were engineered differently from the later voltage regula-

tors. One caution has to do with the plating on the contact points, which is tungsten. The Delco-Remy Service Bulletin, IR-116, 2-27-53 states: “Using the wrong polarity regulator on an installation will cause the regulator contact points to pit badly.” This seemed

to be a common problem back when a positive ground system was extensively used. Make sure the polarity is correct on your installation.

Picture No. 3 shows a copy of the Standard Motor Products instructions that accompany the box and fuse. With Standard Brand fuses, 90 percent of the fuse applications are covered by VRP 19 (21 to 30 amps), VRP 20 (30 to 44 amps) and VRP 21 (44 to 50 amps). VRP 18 and VRP 22 are used when the current requirements are extremely low or extremely high.

There were many distributors of these voltage regulator fuses, but they all seem to be identical when you examine them. It would seem that one manufacturer made them all for the different companies. Picture No. 4 [next page] shows the voltage regulator fuse connected to the “B” terminal of a Delco-Remy voltage regulator.

I have found the following voltage regulator fuses in the 13 listed company boxes. Picture No. 5 [page 31] shows the boxes of many of the companies that

releasing. This stuck point phenomena on the cutout will allow the battery to discharge through the generator, which can burn it up. If the current limiter fails, the generator will produce higher-than-normal current until it, too, burns up the armature.

If you have the voltage regulator fuse installed, the fuse blows, saving the

distributed fuses, such as NAPA/Echlin, P&D, Standard, Genuine Guaranteed, Niehoff, Filko, Shurhit, Sorensen, KEM, Delco, Vulcan, PowerReady and Ampco.

Picture No. 6 is an application chart from Standard Brands, which shows the Delco-Remy voltage regulator and which fuses should be used. Remember, this is for the older applications.

I checked my inventory, and I have 205 of these fuses. So, drop me a note if you want cheap charging system insurance.

It is now time to speak of condens-ers and my concern about finding good quality condensers for our Cadillacs and LaSalles. First, read the following bulletin from Standard Motor Products, Picture No. 7 [next page]. The bulletin describes the two main functions of the condenser. In general, the first function is to ensure that a good spark is produced at the spark plug, while the second is to protect the points from excessive arc-ing and premature wear of the point contacts.

Later, when resistor plug wire and resistor plugs became ubiq-uitous, there was another way to increase spark plug energy, which was to provide resistance in the secondary circuit. This delays charge buildup at the spark plug, so that when the plug fires, there is more charge in the circuit, and this increases the intensity of the spark. A microsecond delay in firing the plug is immaterial to ignition timing, but adds significantly to spark energy. Typically, 20,000

(Ohms) of resistance does the job, and it can be placed at several locations. Resistor spark

plugs is one common location as is high-resistance wiring, and resistor terminals connecting the wires to plugs are also sometimes used (per Bill Vatter, a fellow CLC member who said it much better than I could).

Now, back to my story. Finding good condensers, ones that meet the electrical requirements (capacity in Microfarids) for our old Cadillacs and LaSalles, is getting much harder due to age and moisture. First, let’s discuss exactly what condensers we need for our old iron.

I started by looking for the parts num-bers for the ignition condensers in the Cadillac Master Parts Lists. I began with the 1940 issue and worked my way up to the late 1960s. It looks like the original Delco-Remy condenser was an 1869704 and it was used from around 1935 (with

the internal condenser on the inside next to the points) to 1955. It was replaced with the new Delco-Remy 1928111 in 1965 (per my Cadillac Master Parts List for 1965). The Delco-Remy condenser for 1956 on up till the demise of points ignitions was the 1932004. Later, Cadillac

added new parts numbers D-203 for the 1928111 and D-204 for the 1932004 con-denser. Picture No. 8 [next page] shows both condensers and a comparison of pigtail lengths.

The D-203 and D-204, for all practical purposes, were the same. It took me a while to figure out why the change in the Delco-Remy condenser parts numbers. It

seems the pigtail on the D-203 was 3¾" long, and, in 1956, with the new-type dis-tributor containing the window to adjust the points, the length of the pigtail was increased to 4". The mystery was solved, and I rewarded myself by throwing a martini together to quench my thirst.

The next task was to figure out the capacity of the proper condenser and

5

what test device was needed to ensure proper functionality. It seems that the original 1869704 had a capacity rating of .20 to .25 Microfarids. My early American Electrical Association tune-up bulletins shows the capacity rating of .20 to .25 from 1935—up for a few years, but there is no conclusive evidence as to when the Microfarids requirement was changed in this condenser. If I check the national manuals, MPLs and the Delco-Remy catalogs, it has a different date for when the 1869704 went to .18 to .23 Microfarids. Since the 1869704 is no longer available, this became a moot point. I will use the .18 to .23 Microfarids as the proper requirement for both the D-203 and D-204 condensers.

If you guessed that we will need a condenser tester to proceed further, you are absolutely correct. I have a very nice condenser in one of my Sun Distributor machines [Picture No. 9]. The tester examines three functions: leakage, capacity in Microfarids, and series resistance. Each condenser must pass all three test functions or it is not worth using. We will talk more about this somewhat later.

This month’s article just morphed into part one of a two-part article. I have more issues to discuss, such as the effects of age and humidity on condensers. How it would be nice if we can find a date code showing when the condenser was made. The discussion will include the merits of buying new-looking NOS or NORS condensers instead of new ones produced by aftermarket vendors.

In the exciting final segment of the article, we will discuss the new condensers’ variance in price range, depending on the vendor. I hope to purchase a few newly produced condensers (which vary quite a bit in price range) and test them to see if they meet testing requirements. It is also possible (given the new condensers are of high quality) that I will make some recommendations on the best and most economical condensers to buy.

That is it for 2016, but we will continue this article in 2017.

How would you like to take a 1937 LaSalle Convertible Sedan for a spin? Or, how about the 1957

Eldorado Brougham that was used in the movie “Driving Miss Daisy”?

Or, better yet, a 1993 Allanté Indianapolis 500 Pace Car, top down, of course? This opportunity may be closer than you think.

The CLCMRC board of directors held its biannual meeting on Sept. 22 at the Cadillac Fall Festival in Kalamazoo, Mich. We have two projects that need funding to complete.

The first is our 1942 Cadillac Series 75 Sedan. It was generously donated by Tom Taylor of Indianapolis, Ind., with extra money for a professional repaint, which has been completed by Dorman Restoration of La Porte, Ind. The origi-nal chrome didn’t look too bad prior to the repaint, but now that it is done, it has become obvious the chrome also needs to be restored.

The Club inherited CLC Past President Carl Steig’s 1933 V-12 Five-Passenger (Victoria) Convertible upon his passing. The restoration is being fin-ished by CLC member Ted Raines, but expenses may ensue, and money will also be needed to transport it to Gilmore when complete.

Thus, the need to raise money for these projects. A CLCMRC “Driver’s License” was approved by the board for this purpose. The opportunity to hold this license will be offered once a year, and the member will have the opportunity to drive Museum cars at Gilmore. To qualify for

the license for one year, a member must meet the following criteria:

n Current CLC member in good standing;

n Cash contributions to the MRC at the de Ville donor level ($5,000 or more);

n One-time additional donation to the MRC of $1,000; and

n License is permanent once the donor reaches the total level of $20,000.

This event will be held at a time separate from the Cadillac Fall Festival, administered by Past Presidents Glenn Brown and me. It will be a daylong event, with meals provided. Some of the Gilmore collection may also be available to drive. The driving will take place on the Gilmore grounds.

Our museum retired its mortgage this year, and we have momentum to grow upon for years to come. Please consider purchasing an MRC Driver’s License and enjoy driving our cars, which also

include a 1931 Cadillac Five-Passenger Sedan, and 1941 and 1948 60 Specials, among others. They are beautiful to look at, but more fun to drive!

Lars Kneller of La Porte, Ind., is a past president of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club.

It’s time once again for the annual Cadillac & LaSalle Club Calendar Photo Contest. This is an excellent way to support the new Cadillac & LaSalle Club Museum & Research Center (CLCMRC), and have a picture of your pride and joy featured in our annual calendar.

The 2017 edition will be our 24th calendar. The sale of the calendar is a fundraiser for the CLCMRC, a charitable 501(c)(3) and educational organization dedicated to preserv-ing the history of the Cadillac and LaSalle marques.

The CLCMRC calendar each year is a Cadillac & LaSalle Club members’ favorite and has won numerous awards.

From all the pictures submitted, 14 cars are chosen to be featured in the calendar. The photo contest is open to any Cadillac and LaSalle automobile, plus Cadillac com-mercial, military and industrial applications. The vehicle must be owned by a CLC member in good standing. Members whose cars have not appeared in a previous CLCMRC calendar will receive priority in the selection process.

2017 CLC Museum & Research Center Calendar Photo Contest

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSHELPFUL HINTS• We are selling full color. We

are interested in eye-catching color. Appealing color includes the vehicle and its background.

• Does the vehicle tell a story? Every vehicle has a story…can you show it in the photo?

• Is the vehicle in focus? The details of the vehicle, chrome, color, fit and finish are important for both history and quality.

• What is in the background? Does it enhance or detract from the vehicle?

• Please make sure the background is all around the vehicle. We need room to posi-tion the vehicle on the calendar page for trimming it off.

• Where is the sun? The best pictures are at dawn, dusk, or a cloudy day, where there is subdued sunlight.

You may submit more than one pose of your vehicle(s). If we receive pictures of the same vehicle from another member, you increase the chance of being selected with multiple poses.

• Photographs from a film camera (old-style). Submit a 10" x 8" or larger photograph. Please mail in a reinforced envelope.

• Photographs from a digital camera. Please send the best quality and largest files possible. Your digital camera must be able to produce high-resolution images, with a minimum of 3,600 x 2,700 pixels per image (12" x 9" at 300 dpi). Don’t forget to set your camera to the highest possible image-quality setting.

Another good method of deter-mining the quality of a photo is to look at the size of the file. This size can vary greatly depending on the content of the picture and the file type.

As a general standard, we prefer images over 5MB, but no more than 10MB (our Internet service provider’s maximum limit on attachments).

Digital photo submissions should be one of two file types: .jpg or

.tif. If your camera produces a file format other than these two, you’ll need to use the software that came with your camera to convert the image to one of these formats. Photos under 10MB can be compressed and e-mailed; anything larger should be burned to a CD and snail-mailed.

Photographs and files must be received no later than Oct. 10, 2016. You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want your photos returned.

If sending via snail mail, please send your photographs to:

Pete Janutol Janutol Printing Co. 9920 Conner St. Detroit, MI 48213-1245 USA

E-mail [email protected] If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail the address above or call us at (313) 526-6196.
