Had a few "Memorable rides" in our cars also both still miss them old drive-in theaters and "Pink Hotels", Good submission, Good Luck in the contest. May God Bless and all family members.

Great tale, nice'n old-fashioned romantic, celebrating 40th wedding anniversary and many happy memories and first magical night in Hideaway and they can always 'pretend' they are driving to that same spot again in the black Cadillac when they have finished the gorgeous meal.

What a sweet story this is, Rod. Reminds me of my parents and the gold Cadillac they cherished but also of the special love they shared, just like the couple in your story.
Very well done, including good use of dialogue.

This is a really lovely story of a couple comfortable in their love for each other after 40 years. The black caddie is a symbol of raunchier times that awakens reminiscing and then a streak of naughty steps in. I do hope their current car is not a Fiat 500... older people are not as agile... I wouldn't want either of them to put their back out!

    Hi Lisa. I am so pleased you enjoyed BLACK CADILLAC. It is another of my Meg and Allen stories which are fun to write. You recently saw him teasing a former student in a grocery store. Rod

Hello Rod :)
I enjoyed your heartwarming story and thought you incorporated the black Cadillac in a really natural way. I liked how it wasn't the focal part of the story, but it still played an integral part.
Very nicely done.
Good luck in the voting booth. Best wishes, Debra :)
