Default Check out my latest barn find

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. Does it have the 472 in it?

I'm sure "rides like a dream" is an understatement! Great find!

back at you (but not nearly as cool as the 66) ...

women in Sun City was admitted to a "nursing" home, her son disposed of all her household items

54k miles on this 1988 creampuff (with the puffy roof and the Detroit grille):



it got 22mpg driving it back 30 miles on surface roads

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.
