Central Cadillac was New Jersey’s largest Cadillac dealer. This 1960 brochure shows a car that was brand new the same year I was. The showroom building of the dealership later became offices for Cablevision. The building is now for sale.

Newark's Attic 
That was the time that cars had fins and character. One could tell one car from another.

Bill,
Thank you for your comment. In 1980, I bought a brand new Honda Civic from International Honda in West New York, NJ. You were the salesman I believe. I still have your card ! Normally, I don’t remember such things but I never forgot your last name !

I love the article about 360 Central Ave. My Grandfather owned Fisher Cadillac in that building back in the later 40’s early 50’s which transformed to Central Cadillac. He retired to Western Pa in 1958.
I would love to know if anyone with any sales materials or brochures from those facilities that I could add to my collection of pictures and memories.

Thank you for writing. Newark automotive memorabilia sells well and at high prices. Most times I’m outbid when I attempt to buy it. In answer to your inquiry the brochure in my post is the only Central Cadillac memorabilia I have. I presume that is the only Newark dealership your interested in?
