Well, I sold my Truck on Tuesday and picked this up on Friday.

I've always loved Caddies and have always wanted one. I found this one about a half hour from home and talked it down almost 1,000 bucks. Got a heck of a bargain.

No, it doesn't. I refuse to buy a Northstar, because of the head-gasket issues. I had looked into the Northstars when I was going to buy a 2001 DeVille. This one has the LT1 Chevy 350.

Thanks!

Congratulations on your new ride, Tom!

Thank you! I was worried when I saw the Craigslist ad that it was going to be too purple, but it looked much better once I saw it in person. She got a nice wash and wax and an oil change today.

Great job, Tom! :D I love the colour!
 
Thanks!

I don't blame you. Basket cases are always money pits.

I know. The guy even calls me back the next day to talk to me about it. By then I had just decided to run away screaming. :p
I have another likely candidate but I don't want to jinx this one by posting a picture that isn't at all like what I might get to see in person. Suffice it to say that it is a Cadillac as well. :p

I don't blame you one bit! Can't go wrong with a Caddy. Someday, I want a '59 Eldorado Biarritz!

If you're getting a '59, I won't know whether to love or hate you.

You are getting warmer. :p He is coming back from vacation tomorrow. I'll see if I can get it from him then. I have to see it first though. It looks darned good though. Needs hubcaps and white walls though. :p The fins are fine as they are though. :D

Uh, no. A few years earlier. If it was a 59 for the same amount of money I wouldn't quibble over price. :p I still might not for this year. I like the Fleetwood with the stainless steel panel behind the wheel. The four door hardtops are still pretty cool to me anyway. :p
Ok, here is a hint:

Looks like a '57 to me. The '56 had a single hood fin, the '58 had quad headlights. Soooo...1957 Caddy, final answer.
