1960 Cadillac Sedan de Ville

It's mine! I did the handshake today. Check/title/insurance is a few days. It will join my 1959 Cadillac 6229. The tv collection gets a rest while the checkbook recovers.

It is in great shape. I could drive it anywhere. New or repaired everything. Converted to alternator. I may move that back. Dealer air that works beyond great. No rust. One chrome signal lamp surround pitted on the bottom. For later. Side panels repaint. Cloth good. Dash has the usual crack. Comes with the territory. Brakes are so much better than my 1959. The 1959 is a safety distraction on the road with so many lookers not watching the road. This is a more sedate distraction that I would go anywhere with.

Car started in Ohio and wandered east. I may be the 5th owner.

The sad thing is not the car but the collectors moving on with age to 60's/70's cars. I see so few of these at the shows I go to now. No '59's visible in my local shows now. They are gone...somewhere. Kinda like kids not collecting vintage tv sets now. I may be alone on an island but the ride is nice.
