A Cadillac in the Grove: Let’s dump the Brits and bring back the Americans to our autumn car show..

August 29, 2025 by Blogfinger

What year is this “Caddy?” My Dad always wanted one, and after he retired he got one. His plate said : “007” And his phone number had 007.  But he forgot that “Goldfinger” was a villain.   Paul Goldfinger photo. Ocean Grove, NJ.

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor Blogfinger.net

 

I photographed this beauty at the edge of Heroes Park. Later I saw it parked on Heck Ave.  I don’t think Dad  knew that Bond’s car was an Aston Martin.   Those Brit cars would rust and fall apart—I had a Triumph Spitfire.

Buy American.—Really Paul?  Our cars are German (ouch) and Japanese.  But many Israeli taxis are Mercedes.  My first car was a Plymouth. I remember chasing my girlfriend around that car, but a Rutherford Police Officer drove up thinking I was about to molest her.  I don’t know how he knew that.

 

SHIRLEY BASSEY. “Goldfinger” theme.    2000 digital re-master.  If you ring our OG doorbell, you will hear the “Goldfinger Theme.”

    Hi, back to you, Paul(ie)!

    Thank you for the e’s.

    I AK a writer and editor, but I worked in “children’s new media” for some years, and we were very big on “emoticons,” as they called them back then. It’s a habit that has stuck with me.
    🙂
    That’s how we did them back then. Before there were even smiley faces.
    🙂

    The Cadillac is a 1957 Eldorado Seville hardtop. Truly a work of art and collectible as only a small number were manufactured. The tail fins are completely different than the Coupe Deville and Sedan Deville of the same year.

    Are Annes with an E smarter than Annes without an E? My brother Melvyn was smarter than Melvins. Jerry Lewis used to make fun of Melvins.

    Shakespeare said, “What’s in a name?” Why do I care? I love nicknames. Just ask the Home Groaners.

    And, Anne with an E. You are a writer and an editor, but what’s with the smiley face

    From Paulie.

    Thank you, Paul! Oliver and I love the pic! I am Anne with an E in case you are able to fix that. 😁 We are delighted to be part of your blog.
