    I was fortunate enough to find out, through a friend, about a few cars lying around in a barn. I had scored the 57 Ladawri about a year ago from this barn and had my eye on one of the convertibles. Got a call last week about the 64 and as of yesterday, its out of the barn and in my shop. Got it fired up after all those years. Runs rough for now but moves and 'sorta' stops. Top is in Perfect condition and the only rust is drivers side floor. Surface rust peeking out here and there and one busted tail light lens. I'll post more pics as i bring her back to life.

    Aside from dirty it looks very solid in the picture. Love those big old Caddy converts. :)

    Nice score! I drove a 64 Caddy my senior year of high school, back seat was like a couch. I miss that car.
