I still help him by processing and adding new or better images whenever I have some free time. JC volunteered to take over from me the responsibility for the Database in early 2012 but he has been busy on so many other projects. We also need to get our friend JC Franchitti more involved in the on-going project. I realise we can't derive any income from the resource, since the bulk of the images therein are copyrighted to GM-Cadillac and other private parties, but nothing should prevent the Club from "pushing" the resource even if this benefits only GM-Cadillac via potentially increased sales! It may be time for the CLC to do some advertising, both in the Self Starter and in other car club magazines. Have I been wasting my time processing and posting upwards of 45,000 Cadillac images since I created this digital resource and donated it the CLC Museum & Research Center in 1999? IMHO opinion, too few CLC members and other Cadillac aficionados are turning to the Cadillac Database as a first and immediate source of general information and photos of collectible Cads.

TS Front-Top Open Looking Down EDITED FINAL. PS Front-Top Closed-w/o Model EDITED FINAL.JPG/img]ĭS Front-Top Closed-w/o Model EDITED FINAL.JPG/img] Could Cadillac have gotten wind of what Harry Birdsall was up to when the Italians were working on the car? Who made the La Espada's first designs? I haven't seen the March, 2007 issue of "The Self-Starter," but if anyone has information, please post! Meanwhile, I'll try to post my pictures of the Elegante. Is there any evidence that anyone from the Cadillac Motor Car Division actually saw the Elegante and copied it to make the La Espada? This is certainly a tantalizing question! Much of the Elegante was designed and built in Turin, Italy. Dick Birdsall believes that his father's design for the Elegante dates back to 1951. The resemblance to the La Espada seems undeniable. I recently photographed Dick Birdsall's 1953 Cadillac Elegante, which was originally built by his father, Harry Birdsall. We may never know with certainty the fate of the La Espada or other such cars. The first Cadillac Le Mans was consumed by fire in 1985. Even if the La Espada did not get scrapped, that does not mean it exists today. At least in the case of the Corvair, some people saw it at Warhoops Used Auto & Truck Parts up until the late 1970s. However, the 1954 Nomad has not surfaced in 50 years yet is rumored to have been sold a couple of years ago to someone who already owned the red 1954 Corvair. Are there any witnesses left alive? The next best indicator is if none of the missing cars surface within the ten years or so.

The only proof of just about any Motorama cars destruction is someone who actually witnessed the destruction saying so. For example, the 1953 Skylark two-door HARDTOP prototype was not destroyed as paperwork in GMs files indicated. Any paperwork related to the scrap orders which may be buried in GMs files for these two cars proves absolutely nothing. However, its companion, the El Camino, has been reported to have been crushed. To my knowledge there is no proof the La Espada was scrapped.
