      I have never seen this ad in person and don’t think I’ve ever seen it for sale on ebay, etc
      Anybody have this ad and would be willing to make a decent color copy for me? Would look great in a frame!
      Thanks!
      Scott

            Where is the gas tank opening on the old Caddy? Anyone know, I do. What size motor did the car run? I know.
            Hint, Had a hydromatic trans, put in reverse it will back up. Turned off put into reverse, It’s park! Magic!!
            P.S. Yes, cool photo too!!

                Jim’s a winner! Push the round reflector in the taillight lens assembly & assembly hinges up to reveal the fuel filler.

                  In the late 50’s, the Big Three were hiding the tank filler everywhere. My ’57 Ford had it under the license plate and the Chevies had it in one of the tail lights to. I think they were deemed dangerous in case of a rear ender and they had to be moved back to the side panels.

                    Great photo………I have never seen the Johnson ad photo before and I didn’t know that was where the filler cap was on the Caddy……very interesting
                    Very few Caddy’s have ever been imported into NZ over the years and it’s only in the last few years that enthusiasts have been buying them in the US and shipping them here.

                      Hey Scott, That might be one from my collection that I had a while back, but sold on ebay. It has the same few identifying marks of one I scanned in and saved on my computer. I would usually border them too with a light gray or matching color in my imaging program. I posted a bunch of them a while back here and that particular one I sold on ebay when I found a slightly better one. The image you posted might be high enough resolution to look good if you printed it out. If not let me know and I’ll make a copy for you at Staples of the one I have now and send it to you.
