Frank Nicodemus, Jr. – (NY-CT Two Rivers Cadillac & LaSalle Club Region)

The Director of the 1959 & 1960 Cadillac Chapter, Frank’s been around classic Cadillacs since he could push a broom. A Lifetime CLC member, Frank volunteers to serve as a Judge for Grand National Meets and was recently elected to serve on the Clubs Board of Directors.

Jim Jordan – (Oklahoma City) I have been a CLC member since 1986, when I attended my first Grand National and am a newly elected board member. I’m a past director of the now closed Cadil-Ikes Chapter and own 14 Cadillacs from a 1955 Series 62 Sedan to a 2002 Eldorado Collectors Series. I also have a few Buicks and Oldsmobiles. I’ve been employed in the limousine/livery industry for over 25 years. I have had 3 1959s, a Brenton Blue 4 window Series 62 Sedan, an Ebony 4 window Sedan de Ville and Rose, my current 1959 Fleetwood Sixty Special in Persian Sand. In addition, I have a 1960 Inverness Green 6 window Sedan de Ville. If you’re in the Oklahoma City area and need limo/livery services, reach out to Jim at Kings Worldwide Transportation

I have always loved Cadillacs my grandfather and my father owned several.  In 1981, my grandmother gave me my grandfather’s like-new 35,000 mi. 1960 Sedan Deville. Shortly after I started looking for a 1960 convertible. Most that I looked at needed more work than I was capable of doing or were poorly restored. Then, a friend heard about one, and it was just what I was looking for. I didn’t like the color but the car was in decent condition.

I bought it in September of 1982, did the body work myself and a friend painted it for me. I’ve had it almost 42 years now and have grown to love the color.

Marty Smith (Salt Lake City, UT)
I have been a member of the CLC since 2005. I joined after purchasing my first Cadillac, a 1955 Coupe DeVille from the late John Washburn. After spending a short time with him at his compound in Colorado and viewing his beautiful collection as well as closing the deal on the 55, I returned home hooked on Cadillacs. I now own 9, which include, a 1959 Fleetwood, 1960 Series 62 Coupe and a 1960 Sedan Deville 4 window (Flattop).

    I purchased the 59 Fleetwood from another club member here in SLC in 2015. I have made a few improvements over the years, restoring the AC and I currently have the front bumper being re-chromed.

   Much to my chagrin I had to join “Facebook” to contact the seller of my 1960 Coupe, I had been searching for a nice example in Persian Sand for quite some time and found mine listed in Oklahoma City. I bought the car sight unseen after speaking with the owner at length and learning that between he and his father they had owned the car for 40 years. He had the car repainted in 2014 and it still looks great. I installed new carpet, package tray, dash cap and door seals. I had the seats reupholstered in the correct Persian Sand Cloth and Vinyl. To finish the car, I had the bumpers re-chromed last year.

   I found my 60 Flattop in 2016 in the town of Lehi Utah (made famous in the movie Footloose). It had been bought new and was owned by a farmer, it was stored in a garage and hadn’t been driven or started in over 25 years. It had the usual rust in the lower fenders and looked like someone had driven over a boulder, but the chrome and trim looked great and was all there. The interior was extremely dirty but in decent shape. I had patch panels welded in and the car painted in its original “Palomino” but added the darker roof. I refurbished the AC and had the seats reupholstered in the Fawn Chadwick cloth.

I spent my 20’s as a mechanic and the last 30 plus years as a machinist, this of course comes in handy when taking care of the upkeep on these cars, between that and cruise nights and weekend car shows I stay pretty busy.
