My time estimate was fairly accurate. It took about 6 months of some “miscellaneous and what have ya” to whip this little Caddy into shape. After we got it mechanically sound, we put a nice stereo and alarm in it, then we finished it off with a flat black Dupont 90 paint job and some [...]
I picked this car up in Cleveland, Ohio a few years back for my son John Jr. This was originally a Florida car but it had spent a few years in the Cleveland area and had suffered a little because of it. This little Caddy was running pretty strong but had no brakes and obviously [...]
This car didn’t need much. First thing we did was pull the surfboards off it and stowed then away on my old storage truck in Reno. Don’t get me wrong… surfers and surfboards are cool but my feelings were that they were a bit much. This car was far from subtle with or without them [...]
I picked up this Caddy a few years ago in Indianapolis. Some mechanics that were working on my 1969 Fleetwood 75 Series knew that it was for sale and they recommended that I take a look at it. I took a good friend and my daughter to see the car and they fell in love [...]
For you owners, builders and maintainers of Badass Cadillacs, you know it can be a hassle from time to time track down quality parts, service and advice when you’re workin’ hard to keep your ride on the road. I have personally ordered parts from all over the country from various suppliers but the place I always [...]
My son John Jr. E-mailed me these two Cadillacs that he ran across while conducting business South of the Mason/Dixon line. Thanks son!
Our loyal fan Sherry of Hixson, Tennessee sent us these photos of a beautiful old 53 Fleetwood Limo that she snapped while visiting Eastern Tennessee recently. Thanks Sherry!
I drove downtown a couple of days ago to advance purchase a Greyhound ticket for a former associate that was down and out in Hayward, California. The weather was flip flopping back and forth between raining and snowing. Holy shit… what gives? It’s late April. It’s normally in the eighties here in Reno by now. [...]
We backed the Coupe out and I instructed my loyal man servant “The King” (with his extensive knowledge of all things tire changing) to launch himself into action and replace the flatty with my awesome backup spare… a dry rotted snow tire. With that done I fired the mighty beast to life and drove her [...]
After she sat out a harsh winter in Reno, we cracked open the storage unit to check on the 60 Coupe. I had a little knot in my stomach contemplating the thought of some lowlife liberating her from me. After all I did abandon her to a cold ass storage unit while I spent my [...]
