Yes, this is the Cadillac that Gentleman Jim Reeves drove from the time it was delivered to him in May 1960 until his unfortunate death in a plane crash in 1964. Jim was a very well respected artist and part of the "Nashville Sound" of the day. After Jim's untimely death, his wife eventually sold his personal collection and the Cadillac to a close friend of Jim's. We have just brought the car out of long-time storage and restored what was necessary to share the car with the world and remind us all of one of the great song writers of the day. Hope you like the car, take a few minutes and listen to some of Jim's songs here on youtube. I have a short clip here on my channel of the car passing by my camera as we drove it back into the garage.
The Cadillac was entered in the 2015 Niello at Serrano Concours d'Elegance in El Dorado Hills Ca. And was awarded First in Class and was also presented the Honorary Judge's Trophy. Second in class was a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz that I also did extensive restoration work on. The next show for Jim Reeves Cadillac will be at the Cadillac LaSalle Club Western Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada April 13-16 2016 at be held at Suncoast Hotel Casino. Following this event, the car goes back in private collection. See you there!
