Thanks for the shot of my Crusty Caddy, makes it look like a model.
Yeah, I have to go through that with the deflated tire! The Cadillac fender comes pretty low over the tire, you add 3" spring blocks and a tire...
I don't always get the best response to pics of my car here on the HAMB, because of the crusty factor - but I like it :) [ATTACH]
Nope, 8.20 was stock for all the standard road cars (series 61, 62 and 60S) in '49. The Fleetwood 75 (limo) and the series 86 commercial vehicles...
Correct, 8.20-15 was stock size.
I tried searching and couldn't find a thread that specifically addressed this. Basically, I've come across a great deal on some used 6.70-15 WWW...

That manual seems like it will be very handy, thanks Clunker! Thanks also d2_willys and Dan, I'll start with that valve. Sent from my iPhone...
I did a cleaning/change two summers ago, thinking it would help with this exact same problem. It was Dex-Merc that I used, but don't recall if...
My '49 Cadillac will not shift to fourth until I've driven it about 3-6 miles. After that shift finally happens, the trans performs flawlessly for...
It's not purty, but I like it .... [ATTACH]
That's a pretty sweet score!

For some strange reason, at least half the people that talk to me about the Caddy ask if it has a straight-8 in it. There's also a fascination...
I'm curious in which part of the country you think that an abandoned factory is a 100% safe place to take a child without asking for some advice?
The Walter P. Chrysler museum would be perfect, since it's so close to the Silverdome where your evening will be spent, but it is only open to the...
That's truly awesome, I'm pretty sure your son will remember this birthday forever. Did you already register for the Roadkill Nights at the...
I'm planning to bring the Caddy down, if I can get the starter put back in tonight (and it works). [ATTACH]
Does anybody know a part# or source for a 6V early GM-style (on board) solenoid? All of the web sources I've found only go by make/model/year,...
Can't wait
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] I am so in love with that Nash it isn't even...
I get that and totally appreciate the look and the work required to get there, I just couldn't resist the "dirty bomb" joke. Posted using...
If I put skirts and a visor on my Caddy, could I call it a "Dirty Bomb"? :cool: In the Driveway by 49_Caddy posted Jan 20, 2014 at 12:58 PM
LOVE where this is headed
I sure do wish we were all prepping for the 2nd annual Mass right now. Although I totally understand why y'all needed a break, it sure is a...
Does anybody else rock a DD that is the polar opposite of their fun car? 2014 Chevy Volt and 1949 Cadillac Series 62
Left rear came off (but stuck up under fender) just as I was slowing and moving into a right turn lane. No damage other than the threads on the...
1) If you loosen lug nuts at the beginning of a car project, you should go ahead and take the wheel off to make it more obvious 2) Regardless of...
