  • I'm back.....

    To those of you who remember me, I am back on the boards although under a different moniker. I got nailed with CO poisoning at the end of PT 2011 and the recovery has been a bear.... I just sort of shut my life down for a while to see if I lived or died. Turns out it didn't really matter...even though I was alive I was already dead the way I was acting.

    I sold this girl to help with medical costs and living costs 2 years back...... Click image for larger version

    Now I have replaced her with the 66 Coupe below. She needs some work, but so did Dagmar when I bought her.....

    Emma here had sat for 27 years when i bought her....I am such a glutton for punishment.

    It's good to be back kids....see an old guy around in bib overalls on a power chair or using canes hanging by a Caddy...that's probably me....

    The infamous Kid Cadillac is back!

    Wow! Welcome back! As a Cadillac aficionado, I love your choice of 4 wheel motivation. My Cadillacs (69 Calais Coupe and 69 Coupe DeVille) are long gone, but never forgotten.

    I can identify with your condition, I had a surgery that went wrong and blood clots galore. After so much time down and out, you've got to shake your mind and body back into living. With a new project, it sounds like you're on the right track.

    Best of luck, Kid Cad!

            Welcome back Alan I've been wandering what happened with you and Dagmar that was one sweet Caddy you had. The new one looks like it has alot of promise. What are plans for this one.

              Glad to see you Alan! You'll find things around here are about the same, but some great new folks for you to meet.

                I was wondering what had happened to you, too, Alan! Sorry to hear of your health issues, hope things will continue to get better for you, health, and otherwise! Dagmar was a sweet ride, can't wait to see what you do with Emma! Glad you're back!

                        Saw you on the boards before but never got to meet you on the tour. Sorry to hear of health problems and had to sell your ride. But good to see someone that is fighting back and still cruising on. Your new Caddy looks cool. we'll be on the look out on the next tour.

                            Welcome back Alan. I've seen your new project around and your are a gluten for punishment. But at least you know where to get Caddy parts and who can work on Caddies. So you are somewhat ahead of the game. Best of luck with your health and Emma.. I know why you named the other Dagmar, but how did Emma get her/his name?
                            I just love my Hot Rods.

                              That vert is sweet but I really like the coupe. It has a great color on it. I wouldn't change a thing but that is me, I like them when they look old and tatty.
