I works actually in the Harley business as sales manager for Itayfor one of the main distributors of partsand accessories for Harley and chopper.

Greetings! I was in Milan a few years ago and would never have though that a '50 Cadillac existed there. I had trouble navigating the traffic in a small Fiat, do you actually drive the car on those streets and can you find parking spots big enough to park it?

Bonjourno Ciste! You're a brave man to drive that beautiful and gigantic car in Italy. I love to drive there, but only in a tiny rental car. I love the combo of glossy and flat pearl with fades. I did my 68 Chrysler in flat pearl and fades for something different too. Here in the states we have room for extra large cars.
Please make a new post of how you did your paint work. Here is mine.

I loved your paint pics! Roby has some mad skills, and many thanks for his english descriptions with the photos. I like that he did the pinstriping before spraying the flat clear on the Caddy.
