    The tires seem to hold air and not leak but they have been on the car since my Dad put them on for my aunt.........in 1981. Just was not ready to trust them for long distance. They will remain on the car for local stuff.

    By "local stuff" I hope you mean surface streets only. Hate to see what tread separation would do to that sweet body on the freeway.

    Big day today for all. For me, I got my Cadillac. While not the pristine Coupe deVille I thought it was, it still is pretty damn nice. You can judge for yourselves

    And now the good news for all. This thing is so nice and original that even I just can't cut it up which means after this thread, it will never be seen on the HAMB again because it is a stocker and will remain a stocker. I t really isn't HAMB friendly.........and that doesn't bother me a bit

    Friend of mine has that exact car in Creme color...it was his Grandma's car...really low mileage. It's just sitting in his garage in MO. Now if I can just convince him he needs to sell it. Nice car...I still think it HAMB friendly.

    nothing wrong with that. Cadillacs have so much class, most modified ones lose a bunch of it.
     
  7. I know pics can't always tell the whole story, but that Caddy looks very sweet to me from all angles! 38,700 original miles, Wow, that car is the "cat's pajamas". Guess if you don't ever put a pic of it back on here I'll just have to look forward to seeing it locally.:)..........Don.

    Don't have to cut it up to make a mild custom. Just a thought.
