Featured Ride: Leahi Castro’s 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Leahi Castro of Old Image Car Club has always liked American cars from the 1950s and 1960s. Leahi Castro has owned a variety of vehicles from those decades including a 1950 Ford F-1, a 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne, a 1964 Chevrolet Nova Station Wagon, a 1969 Lincoln Continental, as well as this beauty found within this particular feature. A 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille to be exact. Leahi Castro always wanted an American classic that was not of the typical norm, and this 1960 Cadillac Coupe Deville was exactly what he was looking for ?
