This 1958 pink Cadillac convertible was the star of the Sawyer Motors 2005 Classic Car Show in Saugerties, New York. Visit the 1958 Cadillac Owners Association page to apply for club membership or to view the original ads for this classic. Click here for the lyrics to Springsteen’s “Pink Cadillac.” Yes, the 58 pink Cadillac was a major sex symbol, a pimp mobile with fins, acres of chrome and big knockers in the front. The twin headlights shrouded by heavy eyelids are pretty cool, too.
Owned by Bill Lambrigger of Roscoe, New York, this 58 Caddie towed a diner. Note the cardboard statutes of those great sex symbols of the 1950s, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.
The Karaoke Queen and I toured Saugerties on a sweltering Sunday afternoon to take in the show. Saugerties, the home of the 1999 Woodstock Festival, has become decidedly more prosperous and chic in the past decade. Once a rather dowdy town, principally known for used furniture shops, Saugerties is now a destination for the second home crowd priced out of the stratospheric Woodstock real estate market.
Plenty of bikes on hand also, including this trike we encountered as we headed back to the car.
Custom shops, like the Wright Brothers in Kansas, customize Harleys into three wheeled machines.
