60 Fleetwood Caddy
Oct 11, 2017 12:29:05 #
Most of us have been around long enough to know were a few old cars are just waiting out their time in the wind and weather.
The flat tires on this 1960 Fleetwood Cadillac and its hubs are slowly sinking into the ground. When it was put there twenty
years ago it only had a bad transmission. For some reason the owner never sold it and someday soon it will be just end up in a scrap yard.

Unless they give it to Jay Leno who might want to restore it.

I had one of these cars.
Mine was a white 4 door like this one.
However, from the shape of the rear fins, I would comment that this car is a 1957.

There are lots of dim wits like this one , I have seen countless collector grade cars in this condition. One example is a 1963 Corvette split window ( 1 year only) sitting in a guys yard at least 40 years, wont sell to anyone and now it's junk. By the way I believe the Caddy is a 1957, last year of the single headlights.

You are correct about it being a '57 since I did not have time to look it up but took the word
of a guy who knew the owner. He told me there was little difference between the '59 and the '60
but from what is on line I can see it is earlier. Most of my restorations have been Ford's and
Mercury's although I did do a 1956 Oldsmobile. Cadillac's were always way too expensive.
Anytime I have ever seen a Cadillac in a movie the director can't help himself...he as to wreck it.

I sure hope someone can fully restore this. Looks to me as though it is still in good enuf shape to do a complete restore. All depends on whether it is for sale

Cadillac Eldorados are really interesting and hard to come by. My first car was a !956 Olds, it went like hell and was a real nice riding car.

You'd be surprised. Never looked at a Barrett Jackson or a myriad of other auctions have you. Jay Leno is small potato's in the auto collector, car show, and auto restoration field. It's a huge and financially burgeoning market place.
