No $$$ interest. OK guys, don't try to thank me for finding this. I was glad to do it. I know that all of you, once you see this car will be on the road to southern Indiana in the morning. I passed on it simply because I don't have the room for it. Gay even wanted me to buy it, but I told her that I have to stop collecting somewhere. She stopped crying after about an hour. She remembered our gold '56 Fleetwood and thought since this one needs paint (and everything else) that we could paint it that color.

Now remember, the first guy that gets there is going to buy it, so no fighting over it. (It's 10:30 at night, and I've run out of balderdash...) What a thing to find on the Forum on a quiet Sunday morning!

They posted 2 pictures of the 'car'. One is of a 1956 Cadillac and the other is of a 1955 Cadillac. Wonder which one is really the main car and which is the parts car? Regardless, perhaps I am missing something but this does not look like a deal to me. Please tell us you were joking Barry???!!!Clay/Lexi

Notice how Barry went to bed as soon as he posted it?   Probably made himself sick looking at it.

Bruce. >:D

PS.   I have purchased cars to fix up, and ended up using it as the parts car when I found a better one.

I did notice that Bruce, LOL. I don't think I would pay even half the asking price for these cars, based on the ad. That said, although the '55 and '56 Cadillac look superficially similar, one is not a good choice as a parts car for the other. Some smaller parts would be interchangeable but there would also be a lot of non-compatibility with many other parts as well. Not a good match. These cars are over priced and should be sold separately. Clay/Lexi

Clay, you need to watch "Big Bang" a lot more to take lessons in sarcasm. I saw that (them?) and just couldn't resist.

Guess the '55 is the "parts car", good luck with that.  '55 might be the better one to restore condition-wise.
