The Blackwing Spotting Thread

[HoustonCuse]

I’ll keep my eyes peeled! Amazingly I saw one today a 2022 gray/blue 4BW (can’t remember the name of the color) on the NASA Bypass Gulf Freeway interchange. Can’t be 100% positive but appeared to be a female driver. Tried to get their attention at a stop but no dice.

Claremont, California, Raven 4BW, on Towne at ~ 0805 Tuesday 2/20. You turned onto the 210E before I could get close enough to read your CA vanity plates. I was in the Highlander so you wouldn't have noticed anyway ... 1000 miles of driving in the last few days, and only one Blackwing sighting in the wild.

(Crap rainy weather even in SoCal these days, so hopefully they're all warm and cozy in their garages)

I just drove across 3 states in my new BW and I didn't see another one the entire time. Almost glad for that. Shows the rarity of our cars lol

I saw a grey one parked by the Portillos in Bolingbrook over the last weekend.

They really are pretty rare, I've had mine for 18 months-ish and have seen maybe four 4s and two 5s in that time. I really do wish Cadillac differentiated the BW models more though, even as someone who is in the know it takes longer than I'd like to determine what I am looking at!

Black CT4 BW at the deptford mall in NJ. Parked way out to the end of the parking lot, good job.

Finally, spotted a 5BW in the wild and we made BW noises and such, haa! Murdered out and matte. Awesome. Looking forward to meeting up. Hit me up!

Finally saw a 5BW on the road, headed West on Rt 4 around 2pm last Thursday. Looked like factory matte black and from the sounds, I think it was an automatic.

Then, on Saturday around 2pm on Rt 23 S, saw another one in steel metallic. Was in mine and tried to catch up, but hit every frickin light possible.

Guess its time to come out of hibernation lol.

Saw a badass red CT5V while I was getting gas with the beater truck out east on Long island 2 weeks ago.

@obeykube I am almost sure that's mine. My only doubt is that I don't recognize the gas station as I never use Mobil. It's possible my wife filled up somewhere as she drives the car during the week. Where exactly did you see that?

Long island expressway service road off exit 69 I believe. Definitely a male driving it, I gave the guy a thumbs up! I have the plate number if it helps but don't want to publicly say it just incase the owner wouldn't appreciate it. It was on a Saturday morning I believe. Or Sunday. Either way, beautiful color and sounded great.

Okay now that I can see it better on my tablet, it's definitely not mine. The license plate frame is different and it doesn't look like it has CF1 and CF2 trim like mine has Otherwise it's exactly the same including the blacked out badges and dark tint. And I definitely wasn't out that far east this weekend. I'm in St James / Head of the Harbor.

I'm in smithtown and work in farmingdale, hopefully you see a silver CT4V scootin around soon.

I think I saw my car's twin on Rt. 33 between Plain City and Marysville, twice. Once heading northbound around 2 PM, then heading southbound around 4 PM.

What color was it?

What color was it?

One of the red variants.

One of the red variants.

Then it definitely wasn't me. Sounds like there's enough CT5-Vs around here we could have our own V jamboree.

Just saw my 5BW twin late this afternoon northbound on US1 just south of Sanford, NC. Even had almost the exact same plate as me but from TN. As far as I can tell, the only difference was their sunroof. (I don't have one.) Dunno if it was MT or auto, tho.

 

[Hi Ho Silver]

I live along the shore in south Jersey and drive the Parkway up and down to Elizabeth once a week. I have never seen another 5 BW...and only one 4 BW. My neighbor has a 23' collector edition but its been in his garage since new. Guess he thinks it will be another Buick GNX.
