Sweet Caddy.....

I think the closest thing to 'lowriders' we've got on here is this one....

Very nice work on your Caddy...In '70 I owned a green '62 Sedan de Ville. It was dropped a bit. I was running Vogues and had all rear windows "painted" black (before window tinting was widely available). Immaculate (and fins rock too!)!!! I can appreciate a fine ride like yours...

Nice rider
Back when we were teenagers my hubby had one of these. There was a short somewhere so everytime you parked you had to disconnect the battery Oh... and it didn't have heat either, we had to drive around with a blanket

Actually by April I will have my bug bagged. My bf has a bagged blazer and he has an Izuzu pup he is bagging next. We belong to a car club that is full of minitruckers =D

Yeah, you can take a lowrider out of a lowrider, but you can't take lowriding out of a lowrider.
I too sit low with a bit of a gangsta lean. My beetle isn't drop now, but once I get back to Cali she will be.

Sweet Caddy!! But I do have to say I perfer the '63. Nicely done.

Thanks, that's exactly the term I was looking for to explain to my bf "The weird way I sit in the car." Strangely, he's only a couple inches taller than me, but has to adjust the seat a lot when we swap places at the wheel. I've always thought of it as a 'European' way of sitting, since I learned it from my dad Your way, Rick, is a lot easier to explain to a Canadian. Thanks, man. At least if we cruise out to Cali, we don't have to reposition seats endlessly. Bonus!
(Yes, I have been thinking of this road trip alll damn day. Thanks a LOT, pal!
I like how clean and pampered your Cadilac is, Dan. I have to show it to my bf, he really likes those. This may be a strange question, but why does the back sit so much lower than the front?

Thats one of the great things about adjustable suspension, you can set it however you want! laying frame, locked up, nose up ass down, or ass up nose down, lol. And anywhere in between

for example:

slammed




locked up




front down, back up



front up, back dawn
