Strictly first class travel!

The Captain's Yacht at Delaware Cadillac, Wilmington, DE, the original selling dealer

Cadillac earns the Land Yacht Marina cup for being the greatest and most prolific shipbuilder of Land Yachts, bar none. Appropriately, Caddies are well represented on the Web. Here are the Marina's picks:

• Cadillac's corporate site is a nice place to view the company's current offerings.
• Cadillac Club of Finland -- There are an amazing number of Cadillacs in northern Europe. CCoF's site has superb pictures and unique backgrounds.
• Cadillacs on the Internet -- This site is unbelievable, a complete year by year list of HUNDREDS of Caddy links. It's maintained by a club in The Hague, Netherlands (Northern Europe AGAIN!) called "The Cruise Brothers." Follow their link to see a simply incredible list of the iron owned by this club. Have you ever seen a restored '76 Malibu wagon?
• Cadillac Club of Stockholm -- Yet another Northern European country brimming with beautiful old Caddies. Hey you guys and gals here in Amurrica! Get with it! Get out there and restore an old Cadillac RIGHT NOW! These people are putting us to shame!
• Wild Weddings -- a wedding car service from Down Under featuring gorgeous '59 Caddies, all converted to proper Aussie right hand drive.
• Scott Thorfinnson's Cadillacs -- Showcasing a superb private collection of Cads in Minnesota, concentrating on 1969-70 models.
• Frank Corrente's Cadillac Corner -- take your pick from their inventory of California beauties.
• The 1959 Cadillac Page -- if you had to pick ONE car that just epitomizes the Land Yacht spirit, it would have to be the '59 Caddy.
• Large Marge, a '75 Eldorado convertible in Austin, Texas (NOTE, the Marina has gotten e-mail from the owner of ANOTHER Large Marge in Austin, a '69 Buick Electra!)
• Another '75 Eldorado, this one in, uh, here we go again, Sweden.
• The Brougham Owner's Association -- dedicated to the ultra-rare 1957-60 Eldorado Broughams.
• Had enough Eldos yet? No? Good. Then set sail for Eldosaur Park!
• Greg Murphy's '71 Coupe DeVille
• The national homepage of the Cadillac LaSalle Club.
• Cadillac La Salle Club, Western Reserve Region
• Cadillac La Salle Club, Gulf Coast Region -- look for hidden links in the '59 fin graphic!
• The story of the Cadillac Ranch! Also see Rik Gruwez's superb Cadillac Ranch page with fantastic photos of each individual car.
• Mary Kay Cosmetics, the people who made pink Cadillacs famous. Unfortunately there are no pictures of the cars on their page. The Marina is DESPERATELY seeking photos of an old (i.e. 1976 or earlier) authentic Mary Kay pink Cadillac!
• Caddy Daddy, Cadillac parts and restoration specialists in Northern California, has a nicely designed page.
• Looie's Page -- nice Cadillac stuff including great pictures of the ultra-rare '59 Eldorado Brougham.
• Cadillac Twin -- you decide whether these guys are for real.
• Allante Appreciation Group
• American 60's Classics -- more Aussie Cads, available for your wedding or special event Down Under!
• When the Grim Reaper comes calling, chances are you'll take your last ride in one heckuva Cadillac. Cruise on by the Professional Car Society for a closer look at the world of hearses. Or you might like to take a tour of the more macabre sites in L.A. riding IN a hearse (sitting up, don't worry) courtesy of Grave Line Tours.
• Caddy station wagons? Now featured on the Cargo Ships page!

• Rik himself, with five gorgeous Caddies from 1959 to 1994!

Thanks Yann for all the hard work maintaining this treasure trove!

The Marina welcomes a fleet of Lincoln links!

• Matt Prater's Lincoln Page is a great place for Lincoln lovers to start.
• The Continental/Mark Page, also by Matt Prater, traces the history of the Continental Marks. The Mark IV is a particular favorite of the Marina for its sheer overwhelming size.
• The Mark V, last of the Land Yacht Marks
• William Mullen's '70 Mark III
• But the classiest of the Marks is the '56 Mark II, which was a Continental, not a Lincoln, strictly speaking.
• A great '60's Lincoln page, with photos of every year including a 1960 "Boat Lincoln" convertible and a '62 sedan also in a nice marina setting.
• Jeff Cates' 1960 Lincoln Coupe. More and more "Boat Lincolns" are showing up online. This beautiful example has been in the same family since new!
• Classicars Online, an advertising site picturing one of the very rare "Boat Lincoln" limousines.

The Marina always looks forward to a visit from one of Chrysler's flagships, the Imperial. Although built in the smallest numbers by far of all the Luxury Liners, Imperials can be found online. The best place to start is The Imperial Web Pages, maintained by Tony Lindsey who also administers the Imperial Mailing List.

"Imperialists" will also enjoy this '63 Imperial page featuring a classic Tom McCahill road test report.

By popular demand, the Marina now features a Packard section! It's appropriate, since Packard gave us the CLIPPER, with a ship's wheel on the grille and the dash. Here's the Marina's Packard selections:

• Craig's Packard page -- lots of fantastic photos, and the Marina loves any site with good music!
• A nice '53 Packard page
• The Packard Club
• Mike's Packard and Plymouth Page -- nice 40's Packard stuff
