Sugar Ray Pat Reyford fell in love at first sight with this red 1950 Cadillac Fleetwood. He first set eyes on it at my other half Geoff’s classic vehicle restoration barn in Essex. The car nicknamed ‘Candy’ is owned by our friend Paul Williams of www,coolclassiccars.co.uk Pat decided to write and record a song all about the car of his dreams, and the story of how he first set eyes on it. Pat is a multi talented full time pro singer/songwriter/musician. He did absolutely everything on the track. These are all my own (Ruthie’s) photos that you see here. The white 1961 Chrysler New Yorker 4 door hard top you see in some of the photos is our own. We are all based in Essex, England.

This row of classic American cars is mainly 1950s, with our own 1961 white Chrysler New Yorker shown first. At the annual Rally of the giants show, we all ‘try’ to park up with similar looking and age cars if possible. It is hard when cars like ours are on the cusp of an era regarding design.
