[gallery link="file" ids="1302,1303,1304,1305,1306"] Although most of the cars featured in our Customer Car Spotlight installments are usually from Southern California, this weeks’ customer car comes from a bit farther away, as this very nice 1953 Cadillac two-door hardtop belongs to Original Parts Group Inc., customer Lee Coleman of Phoenix, Arizona.

1969 Cadillac Tail Lamp Lens

The classic Cadillacs from 1969 are marked by their long hoods, proportional decks and clean, angular styling. The “new” look for ’69 would push Cadillac into the Seventies and beyond with crisp lines that ensured their long and low stance would be popular for many years to come.
