Literal playground for Cadillac nuts like myself.. looks like a great collection you have there.

 

Cool beans bro.

 

way cool!

 

Yes , Way cool , I have seen some of his collection in person , very impressed

 

Thanks Dave, hope your 53 is getting close to completion..

 

Going slow right now with the project, About halfway with the upholstery Allen
, hopefully will be up and driving mine this summer

 

Good job. Glad you were able to grab all those before they went into the shredder. Smart move not asking ahead of time. Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
Grandpa was a Cadillac man after the war. He had a 52 extended deck that he talked about for decades after. He didn't buy a 59 because they were too gaudy for him..

Good on you for saving the collection and keeping Mr. Pelter's Cadillac spirit going!
You also ended up with a nice daily - and a shot in WSJ, no less!
Maybe next stop is a feature in TRJ?

cheers, Ray

 

Thanks Ray, what's the TRJ?

 

The Rodders Journal. Cool rides.

 

Cool Cads, looks like you slipped a buick in too.

 

I suppose you probably had to give up the pool as storage?

 

Yes, had to take the parts out of the pool, hope to be swimming in it this spring...

 

Very nice to see someone with a great passion for the old Caddys. Most of them on the east coast are far rustier than the cars out west.

 

That Buick sure looks good , lots of potential there

 

OMG WOW!

 

I agree completely. I'd love to visit and see and touch so many of those old beauties! Congrats!!

 

Can you spot the cars?

 

Wow i counted 4. So is all that for sale? What r you goin to do with all of that stuff?

 

You are the keeper of the ''flame'', Robert would be proud!
Just don't become a hoarder, because then you might end up on TV!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks KK, I'm sure Robert is smiling.......

 

I see 5 , ? so , how many are buried in there ?

 

Hi Dave,
Yes, you can barely see the 5th car to the right of the black trunk. There were actually 8 packed in there like sardines, I'm starting to get it cleaned out a bit now....

 

Beautiful car!

 

Superb car man. Love the colour, what is it called ?

 

Thank You , I Like it too . the factory called it " ARTISAN OCHRE "
