What is your favorite Cadillac quote from a Movie/TV/Radio

[South_paw]

Like the title reads,
Whats your favorite quote..  I'll start.

"There ain't no Coupe DeVille hiding in the bottom of a Cracker Jack box"

Artist: Meatloaf
Song: Two out of three ain't bad

 

[Bob Schuman]

My favorite is a new magazine ad for the 2008 CTS. It has only a little text, and ends with "When you turn your car on, does your car turn you on?"
To my mind, that really gets to the heart of the subject for car lovers.

There is a deleted scene in Godfather I when Vito Corleone wants to take the family to the hospital to visit a dying friend.  This is how he describes his Cadillac.

VITO CORLEONE

Santino, go tell your brothers that I went them to come with me to visit Genco to pay their

respects. Tell Fredo to drive the big car... outside now.

[Jim Jordan]

One of my favorites is from "Tin Men"

Danny deVito and his wife, Barbara Hershey are discussing their finances when she suggests he sell his 61 Coupe de Ville and get something more affordable like her Chevrolet.  The aluminum siding salesman responds "EEWWW.  No.   Cadillac means your dealing with someone of importance."

[Vince Taliano #13852]

When Tony Montana says, "It's a Cadillac!" in Scarface!

[Rusty Shepherd CLC 6397]

"The only car that will make a Cadillac owner look twice" (from an ad in National Geographic which shows a man in dark suit and hat looking out of the rear window of a black Fleetwood 75 at a gold '67 Eldorado).  This statement definitely does not apply to Cadillac & La Salle Club members!

[Dewane Ollech]

It was from the movie "Crossroads", which starred the Karate Kid fellow, Ralph what's his name.
An old man in the hospital says to the kid, "A man ain't no man, ain't got no Cadillac."

[DavidinHartford]

One of my favorites is from "Tin Men"

Danny deVito and his wife, Barbara Hershey are discussing their finances when she suggests he sell his 61 Coupe de Ville and get something more affordable like her Chevrolet.  The aluminum siding salesman responds "EEWWW.  No.   Cadillac means your dealing with someone of importance."

BINGO!    That is my favorite movie Cadillac quote!   


That plus the humiliation on Richard Dryfuses face when he pulls up in a little Corvair loaner car and the parking lot is full of Cadillacs.

[South_paw]

Another good one

From the Blues Brothers

Jake: First you traded the Cadillac in for a microphone. Then you lied to me about the band. And now you're gonna put me right back in the joint!
Elwood: They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.

I loved the beginning of the film, when Richard Dreyfus was negotiating with the salesman about the price of the car.  Classic confrontation, a car salesman negotiating with a aluminum siding salesman.


 EXT. CADILLAC DEALERSHIP - DAY                               4
    BB is now sitting in a cubicle in the office with the
    Salesman, going over the contract on the car.
                            BB
              Now don't try to hustle me here
              ... you know what I mean. I hate
              being hustled. Give me an honest
              price, not one of your 'special'
              deals... give me an honest price.
              Do I make myself clear?
                            SALESMAN
              Now, how much are you willing to
              pay?
                            BB
              There ya go... there ya go...
              you're doing it... you're doing
              one of those hustle numbers.
                                                  


                            SALESMAN
              I'm just trying to get an idea
              how much you're willing to pay.
                            BB
              Four dollars... I want to pay four
              dollars a month.
                            SALESMAN
              That's not an honest answer.
                            BB
              What do ya want to hear? That I'd
              love to pay three hundred and fifty
              a month... is that what you want to
              hear? Tell me how much you want me
              to pay and I'll tell you how much
              I'll pay, but don't do a hustle on
              me... I don't like that. How much
              do I want to pay? I'd like to pay
              nothing!

From my all time favorite Cadillac song, Jimmy Liggins' "Cadillac Boogie"

Sportin' 'round town for to make a date
Get you a long black Cadillac Eight
Get to cruisin' boy
Fall on the scene
Gals will start jumpin'
Your money'll be green
It's the Cadillac boogie
Boogie woogie rollin' along

[bill henry]

quiet riots slick black cadillac


drivin a slick black cadillac
its got solid gold hubcaps
makes me feel like a king
and i only need one thing
thats a slick black cadillac

[Jim Jordan]

Another fvorite from "Tin Men."  When danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfus are arguing after the 61 and 63 Coupes de Ville collide.  DeVito tells Dreyfus "Look, you wanna drive a Cadillac, then learn how to drive!"

[Dennis DiNorcia #19071]

What about Billy Joel's song "Moving Out" phrase, "He's trading in his Chevy for a Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac"

[Jeff Hansen]

ZZ Top's "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide":

Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac,
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heel shoes,
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, and wearing nylons too.

My papa said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln."

Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race
When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace
That story is true, I'm here to say
I was drivin' that Model A

It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
That Model A Vitimix makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, tires fair

Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
The moon and the stars was shinin' bright
We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still

All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
By then the taillight was all you could see

Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into overdrive

Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
My speedometer said that I hit top end
My foot was blue, like lead to the floor
That's all there is and there ain't no more

Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
The lines on the road just look like dots"

Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension, man, what a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And down in the dips she started to rockin'
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!"

Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my CadillacWhat to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Musta left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?"

Beep Beep! is my favorite, too. When I was a kid, my Dad had a '60 Fleetwood, and Mom drove a '55 Nash Metropolitan.  Somebody gave them that 45 record as a gag gift. My brothers and I played the heck out of it.  Thanks for posting that; I hadn't thought of it in a long time, but can still recite the words from memory.

Look At That Cadillac Lyrics
 » Stray Cats
Well, wake up in the morning, brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, I wake up in the morning, I brush my teeth and comb my hair
There's a big black cadillac parked on the street over there

Well it's the finest lookin' car, that ever rolled of the line
Any other car would just be wasting your time
Ooh one fine day I'm gonna make a cadillac mine

I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do

Well I got a job, down at the liquor store
Well I got me a job down at the liquor store
Oooh I ain't lazy but I don't wanna work no more

When I get my paycheck I put it right in the bank
I'm putting all my money straight right in the bank
Well I'm halfway to get my big black cadillac tank

I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do

Sittin' in a bar knockin' 'm back
Up pulls a big black cadillac
Out steps a kitten, stand back cats
Away I go in that cadillac

Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do

I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rock and rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do
