'59/'60 Cadillac People, Kansas City Area

Just curious, but how many 1959 & 1960 Cadillac people are here in the Kansas City area?




I'm trying to find out who my neighbors are... and to a lesser extent, who I can source parts from (or vice-versa).

...seriously? Nobody?

~Jason

 

WTF?

So alone...

YOU, sir, are most definitely cool enough!

Hell, just because you answered you're cool enough.

Is 1600 miles still local?

Hey, if I can drive 3 hours one-way on a whim to pick up parts, what's 24 hours between friends?

 

Bump - trying again...

59 in san jose ca. see Strangerscarclub.com for some caddy's

 

I've found a few sources locally for '59 & '60 Cadillac parts, but am surprised that no one locally has piped up. Surely I'm not the only guy...

 

You want to find out who is in your area,just join the National Caddy club.Here is the website:cadillaclasalleclub.org.At the end of year you get a directory.Joe

 

i think the cadillac club is having their 2009 or 2010 national event in kc this year. at least thats what gar from a&a auto in brentwood told me the other day.

 

Excellent idea! Maybe I should join... and who knew they'd be holding an event here in KC of all places?

~Jason

 

I gotta 60 Buick and I'm 3 1/2 hrs SE of KC, that count for anything?

 

Hey man, if you have a 2-door, we can swap doors! LOL!

The Caddy Lasalle club is a horrible place for technical questions and most replys are pissy. A lot of snobs... they have free forums... check them out.
They have a modified section which they ban our types to (and look down on you) but they still collect the same membership fee.

I've had interactions with them in the past, and found that sometimes, although the attitude is there, as long as they don't know what you're doing with the parts, or are purchasing parts from you that you'll never use, they actually aren't all THAT bad. They seem to be mostly purists for the most part, and the modified guys aren't all THAT bad either.

Either way, I'm just looking to hook up with a few local guys that can tell me that "Old Man Jennings from Jennings Tree Service has a couple of '60s he's parting out - one of 'em has power vent windows," or "___ Junkyard has some '59s, check it out!"

You know, folks that I can swap parts car locations/parts with...

~Jason

 

pm me and ill give ya my buddys name with about 5 60 caddy coupes and my other buddy has a few 59s

 

I've been eyeing up a '63 Cad Fleetwood 75 nearby. I started doing some research on Cadillacs and ended up with so much info and pics, it resulted in a page on my site. Here's the direct link:

Ah, the Series 75 Commercial Chassis... they'll ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.

I've had a '55, a '56, and 2 '70s over the years... 2 hearses, and 2 ambulances.

PM sent!

One more bump for the weekday crowd!

 

Do yourself a favor,Join the Caddy club.Don't listen to anyone else.True,people are entitled to their opinions,I joined 2 years ago,and found nothing but friendly and courteous people.I myself own a 91 RWD Brougham.As far as the message board goes,yea,some people are on a high horse,but most folks are alright.Just my 2 cents worth.Joe

 

IF you're not already familiary with the Professional Car Society, they have a site and forum at: http://www.professionalcar.org/ They're a great group of people. However, PCS is more about the maintenance, restoration, and preservation of original cars rather than customization and rodding. Still, a great source of knowledge and parts!

 

hey jason. i have a 61.. i've bought stuff from chipscaddys.com
hes a cool ass guy and i always get my stuff and hes reasonable. he shippped me a rear window from illinios to ca for 200 bucks. not bad for a one year only window. hope that helps.

I totally LOVE those guys! True, they're mostly purists, but they do have a bunch of parts!

~Jason

 

Believe it or not, I've emailed him before, and you're right - he really is a cool ass guy!

~Jason

 

Anybody heard of Rick Smith in Longview, TX? 903-759-1390 He has like 100 '59 & '60 Cadillacs he's parting out.

~Jason
