Now here's a real head turner!
My dad bought this classic about 8 years ago. It needed a little work, but was in really nice original condition and being driven quite a lot...thats right, this was almost a daily driver, owned by a guy who owned an antique shop and a restaurant about 20 mile apart and he often drove this between the two. He needed the cash to pay for his daughter's wedding so he reluctantly sold the old '59 Caddi.
All we needed to do was polish the chrome and a repaint in a Wildfire Red w/ Gold mist (it was black when we bought it). Mechanically is was quite good and we've done very little. Interior was in remarkable condition other than replace the padded dash top and have the original radio rebuilt.
My dad is gone now but I keep the old Caddi polished and going just like he would have.
