I think Cadillac is going to win an Oscar this year

They've been in more big money movies than just about anyone.

1. Matrix Reloaded
2. T3
3. Bad Boys II

and werent they in the Italian Job? Man, we just watched Bad Boys II last night and at one point Will Smith says, about the CTS, "If I were Dan Marino, I'd buy this car" after giving it a good flogging.

I hope our new FBody gets this much attention when it comes.

There was also a Sci-Fi Japaneese movie I was part of a test audience for down in San Diego last winter. It also had a black Cadillac. A Seville STS.

Yes, an STS. Yes, in Japan. Yes, once again, the bad guys drove a black Cadillac (just like in "Face-Off" and the "Italian Job"). Talk about type-casting!

A movie was filmed in my city a week ago, and we let them use a black Escalade and a blue CTS from my dealership. Pretty cool really. "The Godfather of Green Bay" is the name of the movie and stars Lauren Holly. A scene was shot at a hotel across from where I store my '70 Chevelle!

Pretty much. Obviously not to keep, but to use in the film as well as to serve as transportation for the stars. In return, we will be recieving pictures of the stars next to the cars we let them use. This will be a good marketing tool for us in the upcoming months. In addition, the name of my dealership will be acknowledged in the film. This is nothing new for us, for we give vehicles to use to the country music stars at our local country music festival (one of the largest in the country).
