Whoever owns the Caddy has great taste in custom classics. You did a great job grabbing a photo of this scene. I doubt anybody will ever have a chance to see a scene like this again for a long, looooooong time.

Great picture but what is the secret to getting your car past the gates to get great photos like this? Would love to see a few picture of my car in front of the flame trench of pad 39 A or B.

This caddy belonged to a USA Shuttle Flow scheduler. He drove his car in to work that day for just that purpose. It also helped that he worked in one of the Orbiter Processing Facilities so the car was parked right along side the Shuttle towway.

Both have big fins in back. Well, OK, Atlantis just has one huge fin.
I was able to drive a '59 Cadillac, unfortunately I'll never get to drive Atlantis

One can go to space, the other can only drive on sleek surfaces for getting no damage... What a big difference.

Very cool picture, though I must admit I'm far too busy drooling over the car to worry about the plane XD

Very cool Jim! Years ago I had a friend who had a '59 Caddy but it was in very rough shape.
