What I Wore: Me and a Cadillac CT5-V

Cadillac CT5-V

“I shine like the chrome on a Cadillac”

In middle school, I had a friend named LeVas. Cool name, right? Although LeVas was a cool brother, his dad was even cooler.

Mr. Johnson was always dressed impeccably. He could rock the Miami Vice look (Blazer, T-shirt, pants, and Espadrilles), the preppy look (polo shirt, Jordache jeans, and Penny Loafers), or the hip-hop look (track suit, adidas, and Kangol). Whatever the look, it was always bold and colorful. He even made acid-washed jeans look cool.

He was one of my early style influences.

Of course, Mr. Johnson had to have a car that fit his style. That car was a 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It was white, with white-walled tires. The interior was plush red velour. 

When Mr. Johnson drove around the neighborhood, everyone took notice.

I tried to accomplish the same feat while I test drove the 2020 Cadillac CT5-V. 

I put together a simple out that exemplified the essence of this beautiful Caddy and would make Mr. Johnson proud.
