Back then, I didn't distinguish models, but Cadillac is the style.<br /><br />Awesome shot, Major.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-30264421886806805062011-04-09T02:09:51.418-07:002011-04-09T02:09:51.418-07:00That first picture of the monorail is going to be ...That first picture of the monorail is going to be my new desktop wallpaper.
