Projects check out the caddy my brother bought!

my Brother went to an auction yesterday, and look at what followed him home!

 

Very cool. There's one of those near me. I just keep watching it as I drive by.

 

Nice '56! I like it!

 

Looks real nice. How much did he give for it?

 

Very nice! And it's got factory air too

 

Those are my favorite Caddys. Many of them seem to be priced quite reasonably. Is there still a good supply of them out there? Is that why they seem to be priced low? There is a guy near me that has had two pretty nice ones for sale for 20K for a couple of years now. They seem to be one of those cars that would never be worth as much as it costs to do a proper restoration on one. Mind you, I guess that goes for alot of this old stuff.

 

We don't ask that.

Wow, she looks really solid. I love chrome ****s.

 

Really nice condition from what I see. That Cad is rad!

 

Well it was a public auction so the price can be posted. $5500.00 And yes it seems to be VERY solid. he's going to score a new battery and see if we can get her to run. Love those those big chrome ****s! And how cool is that tag of the orginal owner? Anyone know the cubes on that engine?

 

pretty sure the 56 was a 365ci v8... same block as the 331 and 390

 

My dream car! Great score, that coupe looks way fine. Congrats on scoring a real icon ride. ~sololobo~

 

Yea! He's pretty stoked!

 

COOL CADDY!

Those are known as Dagmars.

Named for this early 50's TV comedienne Dagmar.

 

I have paid way more for way ****tier cars! Some guys have all the luck.

 

$5500? He stole it! If it's half as good as it looks in the pics he done very well indeed.

 

Very nice buy!

 

That is a very cool car. Here is some info for your Brother on his new ride.

****s!..

 

Thanks Don I'll p*** the info on to him.

 

Very Kool! good luck with the project..

 

i had the feeling that everybody forgot they were called Dagmar's.or why.
she had nice gamms too

 

Nice '56...looks solid...and can make a great cruiser, however, 1955 Caddy's had bigger "****'s" (Dagmars), matter of fact, the '56's were downsized a bit from the previous year.

Mine, for comparison:



Oh, and the grille is a custom (by me) one-off unit, polished...Ogden Chrome in Ogden, Utah, handled the rechrome on the Dagmars....

Wow! When can I come take a look at it?

 

Nice score. Looks like it won't be long til he's cruising in it

 

If you figure it out at Dollar/per Pound,it's cheaper than Hamburger! Great Score!

 

Cool Car and a great buy!
