What parts are missing or in such poor condition they need replacement? Have any photos of the dash and interior? Can you email or post some more photos of it in a PM to me? BTW,I live about 40 miles south of Norfolk,Va,if that will help you figure your time and expenses. Edited June 8, 2017 by knuckleharley Quote

A clear CA title will be applied for with your name on it if you want to go that route with the local sheriff doing the inspection. We have done about 50 cars this way. Just got done doing 4, 1947 trucks that we sold going to Debie. The 40 has been out of the system for over 7 years. I'll give more info and pictures on the email. Need your email Mine is dave@dodgecityvintage.com Thanks Dave Quote

pflaming Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Posted June 8, 2017 Hey, CT, do I get a cut for connecting you two together? Quote
Ricky Luke Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 A C26 for $3,600 delivered? Hmmm, there's a deal. No way I could ship it to Oz for that. Lol...... Hey KH, if you go through with the deal, I've got a spare parts list you can have if you could help chase down some trim pieces for my C25. Rick Quote

I hope it will be kept original. A friend of mine has a 4 door fast back model and has redone the original running gear. He has left the patina on the body. 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 any particular reason for the license plate being on upside down.....? Question if I may..the rear glass division bars...they look after thought sytling cue and not so much functional dividers...hard to see any detail thus my aksing. Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 no reason for the upside down plate- one of us not paying attention- we're not really driving the caddy yet- the rear glass bars are styling cues Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 thanks for the reply....just cancelled my eye exam... good luck with the project...been a long long time since I have seen one of those cars up close. Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 We have been detailing the bottom of the caddy removing 70 years of road grime. The caddy was in storage since 1978. The engine is just been built. 347 cid hydro matic going to lower it about 5 inches in front and 3 inches in back polish all the stainless and chrome and redo interior leave the paint alone. It's a cool driver Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 the only thing a tail dragger should be on is a light duty aircraft...... rake it...butt high..... Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 I remember back in the day, working as a wrench for the Lincoln dealership. Man brings in the MarkIV and wants it make into a taildragger.....what a ridiculus sight that monstrosity was...but hey, he was happy, the mechanic made money and the world still turns in the same direction and speed for the most part...the sun still rises in the east Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 this is the look were shooting for- what do you think Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) as you have asked, little low in the front for my liking, be great for playing blacktop soccer with possums and armadillos given that bulldozer blade thick front bumper.....but its not my car.....just got to please but one person, yourself... given your Florida location....."just gotta Tampa with it" Edited June 9, 2017 by Plymouthy Adams Quote

John Reddie Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 If it were mine, I'd keep it the original ride height but as been said before, you are the owner and you should fix it to your liking. This is one of my favorite years for Cadillac. Superb style. Thanks for posting it. John R 2 Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Not close to laying frame . We'll be within 2 inches of this. Maybe a little higher in the front. Some of Harley Earle's last styling . Think a fastback 52 Plymouth would look nice done this way. If I could find a nice patina one Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 This is our shop truck we kinda like them a little low. It's fun though Quote
greg g Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Not my cup of tea but might ring some one else's bell. http://towndock.net/cgi-bin/classads/view.cgi?cat=Autos Scroll to #3. Edited June 11, 2017 by greg g Quote
