1959 Cadillac Series 62 Additional Info:
I have owned this Cadillac since 1997, and I'm finally facing the reality I may never finish it. As you'll see from the pictures I have invested untold hours, and untold dollars.
It is a project that can be finished as I envision it for $8-$10K. Since I started the restoration in 2007 a lot of things have come on the market that I would now incorporate. Such as disc brakes, and a LS6.2 Escalade engine, and transmission.
Some of the highlights......................
It is a California car, and has no rust.The body has a perfect black base coat / clear coat finish.

It has been covered and stored in my garage since 2008, so it needs a wash and shine session.I'm sure I've missed a lot of things in this inscription, so just send along your questions.
