    So I got my model t up and driving, then this popped up for sale on craigslist. Kinda a dream car of mine for a while, so it's now mine. 1956 Cadillac coupe deville. 365cid engine, dual range hydro. I'm the third owner. Car was bought new in south Tacoma at osbourn McCann Cadillac in 1956. Needs a little love, but I drove it home. New brakes and a rebuilt motor.

    The paints just an older scuff n shoot job. Not bad 10 feet away. Interior is kinda trashed. Have one hole in the floor needs patched. Drives like, well, a caddy. Just need to go through it with a fine tooth comb now

    Looks great. All it needs is some bias ply whitewalls with about 3" of white.

    Looks just like mine! Well with two less doors and being black instead of red, but awesome either way! Make a resto thread if you have the time!
