Default Caddy

There are 159 ads listing “Caddy Dealer” in the 1960’s. 285 in the 1970’s

In Canada, they seem to say "Chev" instead of Chevy. "That's a nice Chev you got there"...."Did you see that 55 Chev at the show last night?"

At least on all the channels of all the Canadian Youtube builders out there they seem to say it that way.

This is a very interesting thread-
Words have specific meanings and I believe its a big marker of cultural decline overall when word meanings are hijacked and changed to push a political or social agenda.
Words used correctly are powerful- that's what it's called "Spelling"- like casting a spell over the reader's minds.

That being said- I'll end this with "GO OLDS"!!!
Cheers-
