Ok, that looked suspicious. Cadillac didn't put out an Escalade until 1999. I had to go look this up. It's an artist rendering and there are several more and a really old looking fake tv ad. https://www.motor1.com/news/425431/1959-cadillac-escalade-rendering-abimelec/

I LOVE this and I would ride one if it were real. But I want mine in blue.

Not this time. We do have a few in the club. 

My wife and I always enjoyed the outings of our local PCA club (St. Louis.)

Especially the looks we'd get when 911s, 356s and  914s rolled through small-town Missouri.

In the mid-1980s, we attended the national gathering one year.  It was in Brainerd, Minnesota and they opened the track there for us.

One member brought his 917K along.

He wouldn't let the rest of us drive it, though.

Better than seeing one is hearing one.

I have the movie Le Mans on DVD.

I watch it often just to hear that sound.

 

 

Nice....PCA member since my first 911 in 1982 ...

I still have several volumes of Up-Fixin' Der Porsche.

Back in the 1980s, the Holy Grail was to find an Audi part that was really a Porsche part with a few differences and could we modify the relatively cheap part to replace  an enormously expensive Porsche part.

The 914 had a problem.  They put the fuel pump too close to the exhaust/heating system and on hot summer days -- vapor lock. 

Especially if the heater exchange muffs were full of holes due to rust.

So I told a Porsche engineer about it at a PCA regional meeting and how I had moved the fuel pump to solve the problem.

He gave me a dead-fish stare and declared, "If ve vould have vanted it der, ve vould have put  it there."

:biggrin:
