When I started working on this page, I thought it would take me a few weeks. But,

no! It's still a work in progress as I discover Cadillacs that I missed on the first pass.

Case in point, in "For Old Times Sake," a 1979 Seville and a 1980 El Dorado are seen

in the same scene. I noticed the El Dorado but missed the Seville (It's been

added, now, thanks to the benefits of the living document versus the printed one). 

Oh, how Jack loved those Cadillacs!

​

Even though Hawaii Five-0 was a Ford-Lincoln-Mercury show, it showed a fair number of Cadillacs. Some were ambulances, but a few were driven by characters. Some were seen in the distance or parked against a curb. Were they parked there when the film crew arrived, or were they staged that way? Will we ever know?

 

For the most part, these are cars from 1959 through 1976, the long and low models collectively known as the land yachts. To this day, Cadillac aficionados love them, even though they never met a gas pump they didn’t like: Sources cite gas mileage as from 5 mpg city / 8 mpg highway to 8 mpg city / 10 mpg highway. A true aficionado will claim his gets 12 mpg, but don’t believe him.

 

Most Cadillac fans feel that 1969 and 1970 were Cadillac's best years with 1970 surpassing 1969. Some people feel that the last good year was 1972. Beginning in 1973, the model experienced reduced engine performance as a result of government-mandated catalytic converters and other fuel-saving devices, as well as the implementation of heavy 5 mph bumpers. Other people include 1973-1976 in the "good" model years if only because the body style was essentially the same. 
 

The land yachts still enjoy enormous popularity among Cadillac fans. They are purchased in all states of repair and restored, most to like-new condition, but others to souped-up or other cult-conscious specifications. The problems can be many and difficult to identify, locate, and repair. As such, the serious restorers tend to be excellent mechanics, if only in their own garages.
 

Almost no die-hard Cadillac fans seem to like the designs starting with the 1977 downsize, and even the most lenient Cadillac fans abhor Sedan DeVilles and Coupe DeVilles built after 1984 and Broughams built after 1992, which were the last years of the first downsize for the respective models.

 

It is interesting to note that the name Fleetwood formally left the lineup in 1985, with the end of the 1977 downsize, even though it continues to be used among Cadillac fans to denote top-of-the-line Cadillac sedans through 1992. Thus, the Series 75 limousines came to be called Fleetwood limousines for the period 1977-1984. The Series 75 name was resumed in 1985, but only through the 1987 model year. The top-of-the-line sedans were called Brougham and Brougham D’Elegance for the years 1977-1992. They have been faulted (with good cause) for too closely resembling the Sedan DeVilles of the years 1977-1984.

 

Coupe DeVilles continued to be manufactured through the 1993 model year. At this point, Sedan DeVilles came to be known simply as DeVilles. They continued to be built through the 2006 model year, although, in the 2006 model year, they lost their “DeVille” nameplate in favor of a “DTS” (DeVille Touring Sedan) nameplate. Since then, all Cadillacs have borne nameplates comprising letters and numbers; e.g., CT5 and XTS. Alas! 

 

One source said that the current smaller Cadillacs (ATS and CTS and possibly others) will cease to be produced starting in 2019, when Cadillac will return to producing large cars. Is it possible that drivers are tired of climbing into super-sized SUVs and long for a return to the land yachts of yesteryear? We can only wait and see, and hope Detroit remembers to bring back the Cadillac quality that has been missing in the past twenty-five years.

 

 

Cadillac Ambulances

 

The Cadillac ambulances and hearses seen on Hawaii Five-0 were manufactured by the Miller Company through 1969 and by the Miller-Meteor Company from 1970 forward. They are identifiable by their distinct Cadillac grilles and tail lights for each model year. 
 

​

Jack and His Cadillacs

 

Does the large number of Cadillacs seen on Hawaii Five-0 have anything to do with Jack's preference for Cadillacs? Possibly; in fact, this researcher is given pause to wonder if Jack didn’t know every Cadillac owner on the Island. Would Jack have been in Cadillac heaven if he could have picked up, say, a 1941 Series 60 Special – you know, the model in which admirals were chauffeured in World War II movies? We may never know.

 

We do know that Jack's first new car was a beige 1957 Cadillac (model not revealed). We also know that, in all, he owned eight Cadillacs. The fact that he drove either a 1969 or a 1970 model (year uncertain) Sedan DeVille until his death in 1998 would indicate a preference for the land yachts. So would the fact that, throughout the entire series, only four cars from the post-downsizing of 1977 made appearances: a 1977 Fleetwood limousine, 1977 Coupe DeVille, a 1979 Seville, and a 1980 El Dorado.
 

It is interesting – and frustrating – to note that we cannot know which model year Jack’s car was due to the limited views afforded by the only two pictures we have of his car. Some model-year designs changed only in such minor details as where the model name was placed, whether the headlights were connected to the grille or separated by a narrow strip of painted metal, or whether the car had a full vinyl roof or a halo one. 

 

Jack’s Sedan DeVille had a halo roof; that is, the vinyl was set back from the windows by a strip of painted body material.  It had no vent window (a small inset window in front of the front side window). That gives us no tip, either, for neither the 1969 nor the 1970 model Sedan DeVille had a vent window, which was eliminated after 1968. Alas!

 

But enough about that! 

 

 

As We Saw Them on Hawaii Five-0

​

Back to the subject at hand: Cadillacs seen on Hawaii Five-0. For our purposes, Cadillac had three basic models, the Series 75 limousine; the Fleetwood, including the four-door sedan and the two-door El Dorado; and the DeVille, including the four-door Sedan DeVille, the two-door Coupe DeVille, and the base-model Calais.

 

Here is the list of Cadillacs seen on Hawaii Five-0 dated by model year, regardless of the year in which the car appeared on the show. To the best of my knowledge, it is complete and accurate; however, it would be very easy for a car to slip past me or for me to be one model year off. If you see a Cadillac that is not on the list or an error that needs to be corrected, please let me know.
