I'm new to the HAMB. Been lurking a little and found this thread and thought the rides were sick. Thought I might join the party. Here's a couple of shots of mine. It's a 1951 more door with a mod or two. Glad to see so many Cadillacs on the road.
Here's a few pics of my (fairly late model for the HAMB) 1970 Fleetwood 75 Formal Sedan... This is a former Nevada car, from what we can tell it spent it's entire life in the desert until I bought it mid way through last year, and had it delivered to my brothers place in San Jose in early July. We drove it around for a month while we were there in August, and it's currently back at my brothers place until we return in August this year...

This is my 40 Lasalle, it's Cadillacs companion car built from1927-1940. I have owned this car from 1980, before that my brother had it from 1966.
heres my 53, bout to drop a sbc in it with a th350 behind it. anybody got info on the swap? will it fit right in? if i get front motor mounts off like a 56 chevy 265 will it line up to the motor mounts on the frame or will i need to fab some? or should i keep the frame mounts that are bolted to the doner cutlass and use those? any info is appreciated thanks. i painted the dash, black base followed by 10 coats of lil daddy roth lime squeezer flake im going to flake the shit out of the roof this summer, slam it close to the ground and leave it patina black with some pinstriping and new wide whites. here she is when i found her sitting in a field in northern minnesota since 1971
I have just got my LaSalle drivable so Here are a couple shots of it. It is a great brother to my '57 Kustom.
PC, The LaSalle is looking very cool and will be a great cruiser. What color are you thinking of painting the ride? CRUISER
got the rebuilt motor and tranny back in. all the paint work in the engine comparment done. almost finished.
ryno - Your Caddy is looking very cool, the engine looks so clean, your on the right track with this ride. CRUISER
I've never put a Chevy in a Cadillac, but the '53-older Caddy has mounts similar to a '53-older Buick. If you are swapping the frame / subframe with the Cutlass, though, you would use the mounts for a SBC in the Cutlass, and it would bolt in like stock. That dash is sweet. Good taste
here are some pictures of my new 64. well new to me. it has a green pearl in the white but you cant see it in the pictures

Okay Fellas, Now I know my Caddy is not the flavor of this site nor is it on the level of any of the other cadillacs on this site however, I am very influenced by this version of automotive culture. I just purchased this as a project with hopes of turning it show worthy!
