Cadillac hosted a fun Cadillac CTS Coupe Drive-away this morning. They brought 2 dozen Cadillac CTS Coupes and Cadillac CTS-V Coupes together at Victory Center in Dallas, then paraded out to the Arlington Convention Center for a press conference with SLANT 45 and the Super Bowl XLV Host Committee.
There was a veritable WAVE of CTS Coupes; it was great.
Cadillac CTS Coupes were plentiful
I was able to get one photo of the CaddyInfo Sponsor Crest Cadillac crew in attendance and I in front of the CTS-V Coupe

Ed Elizondo drove the CTS-V Coupe with Donna and I as passengers for the drive over to the convention center.
At the Press Conference Cadillac also discussed their sponsorship of the upcoming SLANT 45 movie.
