Hey Michel give 'em a ring - maybe they'll give you a discount coupon or
something ;o)

Obviously the name "Cadillac" is not a copyrighted brand name, correct? At
least I guess you couldn't name a non - GM car a Cadillac but you can use
the name for a resto....

Wouldn't it be cool if GM's luxury make had been named Boucher instead of
Cadillac? Imagine the possibilities: "Boucher - Standard of the
World"..."Introducing the new 1957 Boucher Fleetwood 75
Limousine"....Marilyn Monroe in _How To Marry A Millionaire_ in that scene
when her, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall are sitting around their terrace
and dreaming of what rich guys they'd they marry, Marilyn dreamily saying
"And I'd like to marry Mr. Boucher!". They respond "But there isn't any Mr.
Boucher!", to which Marilyn responds "Well, I can dream, can't I...???".
