I am stating to really like the big old caddys lately....that one looks clean

Thank you... I fell in love with the "Mafia/Gangster" presence of the car when I first saw it. It reminds me of something Al Capone would drive. 8)

The seat, steering wheel, window configuration just begs for the arm to hang out the window while driving.

Finally the weekend is upon us. Maybe I will have some time to start cleaning the Caddy to see what I really have here.

What a GREAT ride. Love them Caddys. I, of course, am old enough to remember them when they were new.

There is a Cadillac-only salvage yard near me in Leland, NC. It's called "Cadillac Heaven" and they have a sizable web presence. They recently had a fire and I don't know how much or what was damaged, but they have had a lot of older cars in the past. If they have stuff you want or need, let me know and I can go look and be sure it's good before you buy it.

Thank you all for the kind words and compliments!

I may just take you up on your offer Dan. I could use some Window Motors, a Factory- Correct Stereo (it doesn't have to work I just want it to fill the Original location in the dash that is just a hole at the moment), as well as a Hood emblem that is better shape then mine but not $100. lol ;D

treadle vac has a little rubber cup that blows out and the only way to get the part , of course , is to get some big brake rebuilder company to rebuild the thing for you , we had master power do the one on richie's 57 chev , and it is not the same

Check with them to see what they have and let me know. I'll take a ride and see what condition the parts are in.

Thanks to Tim (autoxgalant72) for helping me wash the Caddy this weekend. I was able to snap some pics before the sun went down today. It still needs A LOT of cleaning, the vacuum I had didn't really work... so the carpet and stuff is filthy still.

Anywheres... here are the Pics you guys asked for.

Awesome car! Awesome pics!

Man, I can only imagine what it feels like to drive that tank down the road. Must ride like a dream. A very big, heavy dream.

Looks great. Get ready for tons of thumbs up from other drivers and tons of people wanting to talk about it.

Interesting it doesn't have AC. What's that under the middle of the dash?

Park, neutral, drive, low, then reverse?
