Very nice...looks like it was a good time! The CT6 V is stunning. The CTS G3 has aged very well - I always thought that was an underrated design.

Yes the V is stunning indeed. I am not a Suv guy, neither is the owner of the CT6V and he treats it as a perfect family-vehicle, everything including his dog fits there. I admit the last CTS aged well. With all my love to CT5 Blackwing I am afraid the regular CT5s won't age that well.

Must be quite a sight for a European to see one of those huge, old convertible Cadillac's coming down the road! I'm certain that's a rare and unforgettable sight.

When I take part in this kind of events I quickly get used to the size of those oldtimers. After an hour their size isn't overwhelming. They feel sufficient. What's worth mentioning is those two Eldorados were perfectly restored. Kudos to their owners.

Gosh I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Seville in good condition. Great turnout.

The navy-blue one is in really good condition, especially the interior was impressive. Soft to touch and quiet. There were only some squeaks when I pushed some surfaces but still better than in most of European cars that I know that are 20+ old. Unfortunately those Northstars are a tough sell. Currently they cannot find anyone ready to pay 12000PLN which is roughly 2800 US-dollars. Too much bs. about the Northstar engines on US-car forum boards and too much thugs in this side of Europe who only prefer Audis and BMWs even in much worse condition.

Actually, the ATS guy playing violin moved from Canada so everything's ahead of You
We don't have many XT5s, I am not sure why but their resale value is high. That wasn't a case with second gen. SRX and there are plenty of them.

I’d keep at it, maybe after a few events and enough people GM will take notice and send some support.

Frankly speaking I lost hope long time ago. Firstly we talk about globally chaotic GM not forward-thinking Hyundai/Kia, secondly Caddy ain’t Mustang - price makes a huge difference here. The only solution is to change attitude and become so rich to import vettes and caddies, pay for them in cash, send them for servicing in Germany and enjoy life If they are rare, better for me I don’t even care about prestige of American cars anymore. 98% of those who despise them in Europe never owned an American car or cannot afford anything newer than 10-year old Audi. In fact the ct6v owner joined a supercar club last year and all the lambo, Ferrari owners were very enthusiastic about how this extremely rare car drove, sounded and looked. So we might see more privately imported vseries Cadillacs in future and next year a company that already imported a rivian is planning to import a lyriq.
