2006 is NOT done yet and I still have a few things up my sleeves. The Caddy is awesome a true testament to the 1950s. Ive been offered $3,500 for it already and all I have to say is that its NOT for sale. If I sell it I will be hard pressed to find another. The Esso I may sell but it will look so cool restored.

Joey, are you thinking of restoring that Beast of a Caddy yourself??

Good luck mate. That is definately on my Ultimate Wish List.

If I were you I secure those deals you have up your Sleeve. Remember Josh is on his way back for the Holidays.

The both of you together, what a dream team.

Wow... Hard to believe there's anything left in Arkansas '<img'>
That car is SWEET!!!!! I know we're a soda site here....
But you got to keep us up dated on that Car!
Esso sign would be cool restored too... but I bet on Oldgas
you could do some trading for a trans for the 57 and anything else you need
for her....
Well guess we'll all stay tuned to see what you find next....

The trans on the caddy would have just been an old powerglide. They are easy to find. You might even find one at one of your local jusnk yards. That thing does have a 283 in it right? If so a 350 turbo would work too and they are easy to get.

Engine is a 365 V8, trans was a Hydra-matic. It will be a looooong time before that car sees the road it needs a full frame off restoration. I have already located a trans up in MO of all places with a good drivers side fender. I'll get some more pics this weekend. Drivers side needs a new fender and a door.

That Cadillac was a better find than an RC 81.
         What I don't understand is how it went the full
length of the E-bay auction, and only brought $500.
          If it were mine I'd locate the body parts and tranny,    
use a box of steel wool on that chrome  
and apply a nice paint job and upholstery. Heck she could
be on the road by summer  '<img'>    Nice car Joey
