@whitegeorge: How Black America saved Cadillac. **CORRECTION - Cadillac was not THE first car company to sell to Black Americans - they were one of the first.** #blackhistory #cadillac #cars
I had no idea of this history. 🤯 But it explains why so many of my older kinfolks and neighbors were brand loyal to Cadillac.

My grandma matched her house to her car. She kept her 1983 dusty blue Cadillac in a carpeted garage and it only saw the light of day on Sundays. With the mink tail keychain. I miss her🥰

My grandmother always said that the depression didn’t affect them in rural Texas and family in California, why? For the very reason this was explained.
