1950 Cadillac Series 61 2-door Hardtop Coupe

Don & Francine Tretola

 

This is the original box of cigars given to Don's uncle, by the Cadillac dealer, when he purchased the car.

What good are cigars without a 1950 cigar lighter?

This car was originally owned by my Uncle since new in 1950. From the time I was a young teen until two years ago, I have begged him for this car. He drove the car until the late 60's, then retired it to the garage. He would only occasionally dusted the car off and ran the engine on a monthly basis.

It was nearly two years ago when my wonderful wife approached him to purchase the car and talked reality. Reality? Yes, he has two sons, two daughters and none of the children wanted the car. After all the years of preserving this car in hope that his children would own it, now I have it!

Bottom line is, it remains in the family.

The Burlington County Times ran a story on this last year.

I have been on a Cadillac high !
