As I type this, some amazing food is cooking in my folks’ kitchen, and in just a bit it will be time for a cocktail. The temperature is remarkably nice for northwest Illinois on this Christmas afternoon. I washed the car in the driveway yesterday, something that has never happened before on Christmas Eve.
Wishing all the readers and contributors a very Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, or Wednesday afternoon, as the case may be. And thanks to Jack, for indulging my yakking about old land yachts, right here on RG. Cheers!
_LOVE_ the red Caddy ! .

That red Caddy looks like the perfect sled for Santa – reindeer emit too much methane don’t you know. Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas
Tom, seems you and I were both a Brooksfield in 2015 for the Grand National. Now the question is, how did you miss my Crystal Blue Firemist Talisman. I know my assigned parking space was across and to the right of that beautiful Green 74 Eldorado… You must have been overcome with the neon green… 🙂 🙂
That red 1967/68 (not sure which with out seeing the interior) was flat out done to the 9’s. I think it won 1st Place Primary. It has not been to a GN sense….
Next GN in Kansas City in June of 2020, look for a Jennifer Blue 75 SDV or a Calimet Cream Eldorado ELC… Brougham on…..
Oh, I have pictures of your car too! In fact, it was one of the first cars I saw. I went into the Sheraton to get sunblock, and came out the front entrance, and there was the Talisman, along with a really nice Rosewood ’75 Sedan de Ville. I took over 500 pictures that day! Several friends in the CLC were there too, Ron Schweitzer, Lauren Schweitzer, Jim Jordan and Bill Buckingham.
But I selected these two due to their Christmas colors. 🙂
Tom, thanks for a great year of writing – I very much enjoy your labor of love here.
