The "Cadillac Queen" - restoring the Standard of the World

Cadillac, the United States' premier luxury auto brand, came to be known as the Standard of the World. Innovation and grandiose design separated Cadillac from the rest.

Decades of Cadillacs have rolled out from dealer showrooms and into owners' driveways and limousine fleets. Over the years, fewer of these old cars from the early 1900s through the 60s and 70s remain. Today, the brand remains a popular classic that many seek to restore.

However, restoration of a classic Cadillac doesn't come cheap. In fact, due to limited production and scarcity of available parts, it can be quite expensive to restore one of these cars. Specific product knowledge is vital to a successful restoration and one such restorer is located in Poughkeepsie, NY. Elsa Mauer Nicodemus, owner of Cadillac Parts & Restoration, has not only been in the business since 1984 but remains at the very top of the male-dominated industry.

Her reputation has led to many press articles and one popular publication, Hudson Valley magazine, not only featured her company but also proclaimed her as the "Cadillac Queen." It's an enjoyable article. Read about the Cadillac restoration expert.
