Home From Joplin to a true barn find

Drove the old caddy tonight, up and down the farm road for a bit, little squeak here and there, but for not going 60 mph in 40 years I would say it did ok, fast car for a big old barge! No on to getting the front and rear brake cylinders working a bit better and then I got to get some plates and drive the damn thing!

 

Thats an huge car to get stopped! Hope you get those wheel cylinders working better soon.

 

well caddy is was ready for the pile up when I blew out a freeze plug tonight! hope to have one in and ready for 2mar! maybe take it to the decatur thursday night cruize on eldo, but would just be happy with making it to the hunnert!

 

Happy to see it up and running. (sorta)

 

super nice Caddy!

 

I love those cars. Great score, congrats!

 

man, another freeze plug! made it clinton in friday night, had a good time, but lost another plug on sunday, hope to get it fixed and getting some new white walls for it, the old tires are about toast!

 

Fantastic Find !! That Caddy will look great when it gets a bath. Its great to know that THEY ARE STILL OUT THERE! how come I cant find one,, ha

 

Any plans on lowering it too? I think it'd really change the attitude of the car.

 

Yep, me and my mother are waiting for my dad to go on vaction and then we are going to lower it for her, he is gettins new white walls as we speak, but the old man is a stock purist and thinks its fine the way it is, we have other idea's! mom likes low customs

 

Nice. Very Nice!
