There are some pics off the cl ad on the first page, and Tina (John's cougar) the now former owner is sending me more of it getting loaded up to my email tomorrow, which I will try to share. I'll get some good ones when I finally get to see it live and in person in a week or two . Brian, if you ain't scraping the walls you ain't doing your job hahaha....
Congrats Lucas. Good Karma must have been on your side. I like 63-65 Rivs but, Cadillacs are hard to beat. I will own a 61 one day and I hope it is as nice as this one. First thing I noticed was how nice the interior is. These interiors are expensive to do and this one looks to have the correct cloth inserts. That 59 I sent you is still rotting away in that barn. I should rescue it just for the heck of it but, the owner is in his 80's as well so he keeps going back and forth on selling those cars. This one is going to turn some heads in Montana for sure. I will let my pops know you picked up a 60'.
Hey, thanks Oliver. I assume your Dad got the LeSabre all finished up? Man, she was looking beautiful the last pics you sent. I found a couple '61s for reasonable but didn't know if you still wanted to be tempted with your other projects and especially the new one going on hahaha.
How about another for the wife and kids??? ws https://www.racingjunk.com/Cadillac/184038020/1960-Cadillac-DeVille.html#3
Oh yeah. It is all buttoned up. I drove it on a 30 minute trip on the freeway with him to breakfast last time I visited. Cruised right along at 70MPH. That car is tight. Drives better than much newer stuff I've driven. Yeah, if the right 61 came along, I would jump on it. I have a feeling the next few weeks will be the time to buy cars and stocks!
Nice! You should post some pics of his car in a thread, I'm sure everyone would love to see what it was and what it is now. Good car to start with, but man that car is a thing of beauty now. I'll keep you in mind again for the '61s if I see a proper candidate
Oh heal, here we go... First off I got to say, over the years I've built up a relationship with Lucas. During Joe's thread he gave us strength to keep going forward. Lucas is funny as heal and cracks me up!!! When we talked on the phone it was like long lost brothers. He has a wicked way with sarcasm, and so do I. We laugh a lot! On a thread from last year I said GSFred could be my older brother. Lucas could be my younger brother. Much younger! GSFred and I hang out in the driveway, sip a few beers, and laugh a lot. If I get to meet you in the future Lucas, I'm sure we're going to do the same!!!!!! I got Lucas' check today for services rendered. I want to tell you all, I sent him a picture of the gas receipt, a whole 34 dollars, and I told him I wanted a case of Natty Light. He paid me more than that! Thank you Lucas!!! I will do what the check says "it is for."
Here is what the check says it is for. I was holding the check towards me and my son was reading it upside down. He said, What does the check say it is for? I turned the check around and Alex read it. We both busted out laughing!!!!!!
Lucas, you are a funny man!!!!!! Now for the bad news. Many of you can see the back end of the car is almost scraping getting on the transport truck. I'm sorry Lucas, but when Tony was driving us Tina and I were REAL happy in the backseat! I think we busted the coil springs. You might need some air shocks? It's still good bro.
Mike, AKA gallagher, I'm sorry for no pictures. While it was exhilarating, she took the camera out of my hands. So no pov. Sorry.....
Lucas... On a serious note. (I hate seriousness!!!) You're going to have FUN driving this car!!! Wow!!! It is a COOL car.
I want to say more, but I'm buzzed. My back went out today. This morning I got up like every other morning. I jump out of bed. I am happy everyday!!! I went to the kitchen and gave my wife a hug. She's not a blonde, or skinny with big "brains" like Tina. I walked out to the porch to retrieve my coffee cup. As I was walking I turned my head to the left and coughed. Blew my back out!!!! I dropped to the floor with the terrible "lightning bolt" through the back feeling. Don't ever lift a 71 Cadillac rear end by yourself, even when you are young!!!! I drank beer all day. I ate too! Now I'm numb. My back feels better, and it will eventually go back where it needs to be. Life is very good, always! I'll be quiet for awhile and go else where. Lucas...... Thank you!!!!
