I don’t do this too often, but I’m in need of some favors. I’m reaching out to see if you or anyone you know has access to a 1974-1977 Cadillac Fleetwood, similar to the one pictured here. I need to rent/borrow it for a 2-day shoot next week in Seattle, so timeline is very short. Color is optional, but silver or dark preferred. Must be functioning. I will pay you and lavish you with praise, t-shirts, foot massages, whatever, to whomever helps make this happen. Email, call, or comment with info. Thank you!

Try posting to the Seattle Craigslist too. http://seattle.craigslist.org/
You’ll get a bigger audience than just CJBlogstalkers.

Dear god, I wish I had that Caddy to loan out and was in Seattle. My best deal would be “just let me watch”. Good luck with the car hunt. If you every need a 350Z in Ohio, let me know.
Here is a ’77 someone is selling just north of Seattle.

Hey Chase,
I realize this is a HUGE long-shot, but some of us are organizing (that’s right – it’s the uprising!) a Strobist meet-up in Maine (Portland-ish area). I’m not sure if you’ve ever been here, but there’s a really cool crowd out here, and the landscape? Well…. what’s not to like?
In any event, you are of course welcome and invited to our event (wouldn’t that blow some people’s minds if you or Dave Hobby actually showed up?). If you’d like more details about the event, just let me know.

try sticking your thumb up while walking around rainier ave. you should find one pretty quick. just don’t carry your hasselblad on you.
yeah i’d leave all the camera equipment at the studio lol. look forward to seeing what yur creative mind wants with an old caddie
Mr Jarvis,
I imagine you may have already investigated in such a manner but if not it would have been a shame for me to to suggest the following:
)
EBay motors… this will allow you to search in the area you need… for the exact car you want… you can then once locating such vehicles email the seller. ( By you I of course mean one of your talented staff
Hope so much this helps.

Try getting in touch with a Cadillac enthusiasts club . Car enthusiasts will often gather to show their babies, so I guess any Seattle or Washington Cadillac club president could be able to help you, if you're flexible on the colour of the car. Try Cadillac dealers too. And car mechanics specialized in old cars could also know about one.
This one is in Massachussets, so it's a no go, but it'll give you an idea of what can be found on the classifieds of a Cadillac owners club:

Good luck
Actually I know where you can find one, but it won’t help you none. It’s with a production company that rents these babies and the like… only problem is that it’s here in sunny Cape Town, South Africa, and I’m pretty certain the shipping would take the edge of your margins…nevermind the time.
Thanks for all the input. We have some superstar producers who are jamming on all leads… Hope to get to show you the shoot soon. -c
Mr. Jarvis,
Please do let us know what avenue( pun intended) you traveled down that successfully wrangled the DADilac!
I’m curious as to what winds up working. Perhaps it will be something to keep in mind.
