FANCY a Cadillac for Christmas?

Well if Robbie Coltrane can drive a Cadillac in the USA, (as featured in his TV series 'Coltrane in a Cadillac,') why couldn't I drive one right here on my very own doorstep?

In the showroom at Thingwall Motor Company, Barnston Road, Thingwall, is an immaculate 1969 Cadillac Eldorado Pillarless Coupe, similar to the model the 'King of Rock 'n' Roll' Elvis used to drive. So it is a classic. At £5,995 this gleaming white Cadillac is the ultimate American car. I even had my first experience of 'left-hand-drive.' This sixties dream machine boasts leather interior, automatic gearbox, 7.7 V8 engine, front bench seat, full electrics and climate control air conditioning. The crackling radio plays authentic Chuck Berry numbers! Where's the nearest drive-in restaurant?

The Cadillac has only completed 87,000 miles and is in perfect condition.

When buying a Cadillac, it's always best to use a reputable dealer like Thingwall Motor Company.

So, if you fancy following in Elvis' tyre tracks with a Cadillac, contact Sales Manager Nigel Thomas at Thingwall Motor Company, on 648-0950.
