save the old cadillacs

Manno — Mon, 26 May 2008 04:07:09 GMT

it just floors me to see old cadillacs in the junkyards. mostly 1976-79 sevilles. These cars are classic and if totally restored are cherry rides. Theres nothing like a restored STOCK condition cadillac with all the bells and whistles.

MAYNARD FERGUSON' S CADILLAC ON BAY.....ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT!!

petunia — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 13:52:06 GMT

MAYNARD FERGUSON'S CADILLAC... AUCTION TEMPORARILY HALTED ON EBAY...SITE WAS HACKED SO THEY STOPPED AUCTION ...BUT IS NOW BACK ON...ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT!!

Vehicle Description

MAYNARD FERGUSON, beloved jazz legend and high-note
trumpet virtuoso, LOVED his Cadillac! As one of the
most loved and respected jazz musicians of our time,
Maynard is remembered most often for his recording of
“Gonna Fly Now”, the theme for Sylvester Stallone’s
movie “Rocky”, among many other great works.
Offered here, on behalf of the Ferguson estate, is
Maynard's personal car, his white 1994 Cadillac Sedan
DeVille in its original condition. This is the car
Maynard loved to drive on those rare occasions when he
was not touring the world with his band.

This collectible Caddy runs well and is loaded,
including it's white leather interior, but it also
wears the badges of Maynard's carefree, "devil may
care" lifestyle in the form of various dents and
scratches, most incurred while negotiating the
driveway of his Ojai, CA home! Please view all
pictures for documentation of the car's condition.
(Please also note the picture of Maynard with some
matching "dented" horns, for your viewing pleasure, as
well as the picture of Maynard in that notorious Ojai
homestead driveway!).

A note from Maynard's daughters:

MAYNARD FERGUSON’S CADILLAC

Having spent so much of his life on the band bus,
Maynard loved to stretch out behind the wheel of his
luxury Caddy. When he was picked up at the airport
after a long tour, his favorite thing to do was to
drive home along the coast Highway and stop in Malibu
for a lobster dinner with his sweetheart Flo. A
reunion drive home often took over six hours, but good
manners prevent us from giving you the details.

FACTS OF INTEREST

In 1999 Maynard drove his Cadillac onto the Capitol
Records Lot, returning to the same studio he had been
in many times before with the likes of Frank Sinatra
and Stan Kenton. This time he was there to record “Big
City Rhythms” By Maynard Ferguson and Michael
Feinstein.

Other records he either recorded or was involved in
during the years he owned and drove this car were:

Maynard Ferguson Presents: Christian Jacob, with John
Patitucci and Peter Erskine. ~ Concord Jazz

Maynard Ferguson Presents: Tom Garling ~ Concord Jazz

Brass Attitude. ~ Concord Jazz

Maynard Ferguson Presents: The Christian Jacob Trio.
With Steve Swallow and Adam Nussbaum. ~ Concord Jazz

Mf Horn VI Live At Ronnie’s. ~ Maynard Ferguson Music.

Swingin' For Schuur (2001) _Produced by Phil Ramone
with Maynard’s Big

Bop Nouveau band and Diane Schuur ~ Concord Jazz

When Maynard was on tour he always took the car keys
with him. On the road Pete Ferguson would always be
trying to keep track of them.

In July of 2006 Maynard came home after recording his
final album:

“The One and Only Maynard Ferguson” and put the keys
in the family key drawer.

On August 21st 2006, 3 days before he passed away, his
family drove him to the hospital in his Cadillac.

During the period of driving this car Maynard was also
accorded many honors:

Induction into the Juno Hall Of Fame (1997)

The FIJM Prix Oscar- Peterson (1999)

An appointment to The Order Of Canada (2003) .

New Jersey’s Rowan University created its Maynard
Ferguson Institute of Jazz Studies during this time
and George and Laura Bush, as well as Colin Powel,
sent Maynard letters acknowledging his contribution to
American music.

The winner of the auction will receive a Letter of
Authenticity from the Ferguson family written on Mf
stationary.

Please note that the car looks elegant but does have a
few marks and scratches on bumpers and two side dents
that are larger but still cosmetic on the passenger
side.

Maynard never got in an accident; all these marks are
superficial and stem from bad parking jobs or bumping
into the planter in our driveway!

Please refer to the pictures we have included. Also,
there is a small broken plastic vent cover, which we
have also photographed for you.

Urgent , good running Caddy 472-500 needed

Rockstar — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 03:20:28 GMT

The "cadwack" the Art Car seen at Toast (the Az regonal burn) and Burning Man has thrown a rod. The car is back in Arizona after being trailered from Nevada.

We urgently need a good running 472 or 500 to install in this car for a resonable price. Or possibly a free engine that is rebuildable. We'd also be interested in a donor early to mid 70"s caddy that we could pull a good running engine from.

If you can help us and it isnt too far from Arizona, drop me a note at azburner@comcast.net

LOOKING for info

LadyKatelyn — Tue, 21 Dec 2004 08:30:05 GMT

Hey,

I have a mint condition 2002 ETC, black on black with everthing that I could possibly put on as an extra. Being anal about my car, I noticed that some &$%#@ dumbass put a door ding on my driver's side front fender just above the wheel. It is so slight that the ding pullers at the dealership can't get it out.

Can someone here shed some light on how I can get this fixed without spending an arm and two legs.

Also, I have had the most interesting problems with the radio...I am on my fourth replacement.

SHOWCAR for Sale

LadyKatelyn — Thu, 11 Aug 2005 03:50:22 GMT

Description:
Teflon black paint with black leather interior. This is a showcar and the only one like it in Los Angeles. I am the original owner and this is the ETC Luxury Sport. It has all the goodies plus a cassette with 12 disc CD changer, a rear lo-profile wing, privacy tinted windows and alloy wheels. There isn't any chrome anywhere on this car, so it is very sleek, stealthy and sexy.

There are 38,000 carefully driven miles(200 were put on by NASCAR'S Charles Solomon) and it has been garage kept.

If you want a head turner, this is the one...even the guys in the valet always treat her with respect.

Why the hell . . . ?

Greg — Sun, 20 Feb 2005 11:25:29 GMT

In my profile I have a few pictures of Cadillacs that I have tripped over. What is the fascination with these hackjobs? The '60 'vert has had all of the top assembly, back seat and trunk lid discarded and the custom rack was pemanently affixed. In the early '80's it was registered as a truck. I just don't understand . . .

2004 Cadillac Grand National

Doubledaves — Fri, 02 Jul 2004 12:11:08 GMT

The 2004 Cadillac LaSalle Grand National was held in South Bend Indiana June 23-26.
David and I had a great time at this fine event. I am trying to sort out my photos of the event this morning. On the way up, our Cadillacs from Florida joined 7 Cadillacs from Georgia and caravanned up. We must have been an impressive sight to see all those Cadillacs going up I-65. On the way we visited the Corvette museum and Corvette and Cadillac XLR factory in Bowling Green Ky. At the Cadillac Grand National about 350 cars were on display from many parts of the country. Our cars did well, the 94 Fleetwood took a 1st place in class and the 77 Coupe DeVille took a 3rd place in its class at the big car show held on Saturday at Century Center in South Bend. We really didn't expect that, our purpose for going was to promote Florida at the event.

Secret Audio

Paul — Fri, 13 Feb 2004 06:48:45 GMT

Anyone familiar with the Secret Audio or any Custom Auto Sound products? I want to upgrade the sound quality in my 1985 eldo but am not sure if I want to replace the original head unit. Are there even any new head units that would fit without disrupting the look of the dash? I would really like premium sound but would settle for anything that plays CDs.
