Cadillac Addiction

A De Ville Dependency

- Beto Mendoza

When it comes to nicknames, there’s no denying we’re usually granted one based on evidence with facts to support it. So, when we found out that our featured guest, George Ramirez, had the nickname “Cadillac George,” we had to dig deeper just to figure out the backstory behind the name.

After prying into his past, it turns out that at the age of 14, while most young boys are playing with Hot Wheels, George was already the proud owner of a Cadillac. And it wasn’t until a few years passed and he had gone through a small army of Coupe De Villes that he was given the moniker. But the infatuation with Coupe De Villes changed some 20 years ago.

After buying his first Fleetwood Brougham things changed, and he began to explore a different model under the Cadillac marque. He found the Fleetwood rotting away at his friend’s house and when he asked if it was for sale, his friend said it wasn’t, but if he was interested he’d strike a deal. Needless to say, George took advantage of the opportunity and sealed the deal.
