The Colonel’s Ledger

Kept by Hand, Driven by Heart

Front view of Charlene, a 1964 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, in turquoise color with chrome detailing and a Cadillac emblem on the hood.

Charlene is no ordinary automobile. She’s a 1964 Cadillac Eldorado — one of the rarest of her kind — brought back to life through years of care, craftsmanship, and an investment of both heart and hand.

Keeping her on the road requires constant attention, from careful storage and polished chrome to the steady hands of mechanics who know how to listen more than they talk. She is a labor of love, a living piece of history, and a reminder that elegance — true elegance — never hurries.

Some call it a rate sheet — the Colonel calls it a record of care. Charlene isn’t just kept; she’s preserved, tended to, and loved into motion. Every mile earned through patience, craftsmanship, and devotion that can’t be rushed. What you find here isn’t the cost of a drive, but the value of a moment — time spent in the company of something that still moves like it means it.

Charlene’s rates honor the time, care, craftsmanship and attention to detail required to keep her gleaming - the very essence of elegance, restored. She’s more than a car; she’s a story in motion, turning heads and hearts alike with every mile of vintage grace.
