Check out my latest barn find

[gb70]

Not a Super Car but a very cool 1966 one owner since new Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. All original paint, interior, and drive train. I found out about it while talking to the only child of the parents that recently passed away. It was tucked in a one car detached shop a few hundred yards from the home her parents left her. It was covered in dirt. I bought a new battery, added some fuel, and it started right up. It was last ran in July of '05 to have some brake work done after her dad passed. Rides like a dream!

Very nice. 66's are very elegant looking cars! Good score!

My Grandfather and his 7 brothers all drove Caddys. BBQ's at our house looked like land barge conventions in the early 70's. Still to this day I have memories of the fold down tray and footrests in the back seat. And the interior cloth was "silk" like with a paisley type print in it. REAL COOL CAR. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Does it have the 472 in it?

You could have a comfortable Dinner for 8 in that rod, very neat.!

Understatement...I grew up in Belleville, NJ. AKA the home of Junior Soprano on the show. I was the only kid with a non Italian last name and a dad who had a normal job. My moms family..The Italians..thats a different story.

I own a 1970 Deville Convertible. I'm amazed that everytime I take an hour and polish something on that car it looks like new. Great Cars. That car is a gem

It has 122,000 miles. Thanks for the compliments. It cruises so nice. I also found a tissue box in the glove box dated 1970. I am guessing that these floor mats are from the time period?
