DTS = DeVille Touring Sedan
STS = Seville Touring Sedan
CTS = Catera Touring Sedan, though I have a hard time equating that wonderful new little Caddy to that tarted-up Opel Omega! I could've have been diabolically cruel and said "Cimmaron Touring Sedan!"

Was the '49 Cadillac ever referred to as a "deluxe touring sedan"? That's why I don't understand the Ebay poster's calling it a DTS.
 
As far as winter in Ohio, I'm ready for cruiseins to start again... The Ebay select postings by fintail serve as a mini-cruisein, but I'm ready to start seeing the obscure cars from the past that owners roll into the weekly or monthly car shows.

Nope it wasn't...but ebay has certain classifications for Cadillac, and that's one. Ebay doesn't care how you classify your ad, you could list a 1903 Caddy as a DTS. Technically, the 1949 car would fall into their "not specified" category as they don't categorize model names for older cars.
 
I wish we had good cruise-ins or large informal shows like the ones Andre attends out here. Every cruise in style event I have been to seems to be only for fiberglass hot rods, 57 Chevys customized in 1979, and muscle cars.

Well bump I could drop that entire lot into the smelter and not shed a tear.
 
Or we could weld them one atop the other and title it "How Detroit Lost Its Groove".

Are you kidding??? I'd weep bitterly if that happened to the two Cadillac Broughams!

Heck, I even have a soft spot for that 1990 Grand Marquis...although I'd feel kinda like Ben Matlock driving it.
 
I do like those two Broughams, especially since they have 350's!

Well it's going to happen so buck up and face it. We can't save everything, nor should we.
