Panty Pink Caddy

“Singles hitters drive Fords. Home-run hitters

drive Cadillacs.”--Pete Rose.

Mrs. Robert Rogers bought me in the Fall of 1958.

I’m a 20 foot 1959 Cadillac El Dorado four-door

sedan, painted bright pink. My tail fins and quad

tail lights still turn heads. I have a 390 V-8, with an

automatic transmission. I have the Cadillac chrome

steering wheel, wire wheels and white walls.

In 1999, I had 200,000 miles on me, rings were shot,

and my tranny was slipping. She hadn’t licensed me

in three years. She opened Rock-n-Rogers Diner that 

year. She had me hoisted twenty feet off the ground.

I can dig it. I enjoy the view.
