    I absolutely love the fact that you took Betty down the strip, and won! You'd have done better with an empty trunk. Never underestimate that giant 472. When I was a kid I drag raced in my 69 Sedan Deville many times, and won most of the time, made a lot of people mad, especially when they were making fun of my big old boat just before I blew their doors off. I learned very early I could sit on the starting line roasting my tires off, or get her moving, then bury the gas pedal in the floorboard, meanwhile the competition was still smoking their tires, and I was already half way down the track. Good times. One of my friends recently pulled the 472 and turbo 400 out of the caddy he inherited from his mom, rebuilt the engine and put it in his Chevy C-10 short bed pickup. It's sweet.

This Deville was asleep for the last 50 years and now is being beaten to within an inch of its life and driven all over half the country and still isn't breaking down.

      Well, at least the early 70s. A 1970 Coupe de Ville was the fastest Cadillac ever built until the Northstars came out. Now of course the Northstar is pretty much extinct and discredited, the 472 is forever if you can keep the rest of the car together.

    It didn't surprise me that you won against the Lincoln. I was surprised though by how much! WOW! The 1970 was one of the fastest Cadillacs made before the North Star. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds was considered VERY good in 1970. It still is.
