Hello  !

We had and have a lot of rain here in Basel,Switzerland. Many basements and garages were flooded. A 1959 Coupe de Ville ,restored 2 years ago , was also completly flooded. The owner will restore the car again..

Greetings  from Switzerland ,Gérard

It's sad but at least it's not a total burn!

Boy, what a mess, and at least it was fresh water.   And no body damage from flowing rubbish.

OMG.
You have to admire the folks who own the car to want to restore it once again.
Cadillac folks are a strong bread.

That's a really bad luck. Usually cars are insured in Switzerland for such damages, however on a voluntary basis.
