Re: Road Trip Revival: Part 3
My wife and I picked up a 60 Caddy coupe a few hundred miles from where we live. The electrics didn,t want to play either but the more we used the switches the better they got, when I pulled the dash out to fix the speedo I found all the brass contacts on the switches were a nice shade of green, corrosion from sitting, a quick spray with electrical cleaner and good as new.
Great post, looking forward to more. |

Re: Road Trip Revival: Part 3
Ah ha. So what I labeled a "missing hubcap" in my Pimlico thread was actually quite a bit more serious. I assume the hubcap went AWOL during the Newark Incident?

Re: Road Trip Revival: Part 3
Used cars are cool like that. They have to grow on you. Sounds like it's just a seed right now.
