Drove the '60 Caddy today, actual conversation: Guy: "Hey, nice Cadillac. Looks like its all original." Me: "Thanks. No, it's been repainted, lots of the interior has been redone, it's lowered, I've got these custom wheels and tires on it, it's got aftermarket A/C, I put a stereo in it,...." Guy: "Well, but it is all original." Me: "What do you mean?" Guy: "I mean, it's all original." Me: "Ok, what do you mean?" Guy looks at me like I'm from outer space. So I got in and drove away.
In those cases I just smile and nod. Like the guy that insisted my car was a super rare Riviera GSX. or the guys that dont believe it was never front wheel drive. Ya I changed that!
If ya had flame thowers installed you could of showed him that one year only factory option that Cadillac offered.
Soon, my friend, soon.....Talked to the company and I have to get the resonators cut off and regular tailpipes put on before we go toasting marshmallows. Just figuring out what I'm going to do for mufflers, since, you know, it'll be at the exhaust shop anyway
Either smile and walk away or do like I do and speak another language other than English and they walk away.
im guessing they mean all original like you didnt hack it up like people who chop this french that and all that stuff. i hate to see a car hacked up.
I used to work with a fellow like that; I said that, if I ever found myself in a bar in a foreign country and he was the only other english speaker in there, I’d pretend I didn’t. Patrick
It's always classic when people argue with a person that owns whatever said car is. They are here to tell YOU!!
on the same token i saw a cutlass owner tell me that the buick 455 she had dropped in was an olds big block and a skylark buick 350 owner tell me its a rocket engine. got told a 300 was a nailhead once buy its owner.
