    ...I need sources for mid 60's (yikes, I'm outta hot rod territory) Cadillac parts. In particular, side window seals. Ya see, I found me a '65 Caddy that needs all the window seals for the front and rear side windows. Not only am I lazy, but also a cheap (poor) bastard with a wife and 2 gorgeous little girls. It's a 2 door Coupe DeVille I'll be workin' on soon. Any help or info sure would be appreciated!
     
  2. Being lazy and cheap is a handicap for sure.:)
    Borrow a Hemmings and a cell phone and check out the Cadillac section.

    Noone else has a mid-60's Caddy? Come on. I currently have a 10'x16' shed. Ya think a 30' long Caddy is gonna go there before snow flies? I NEED to get this sled weather proof before a nasty Michigan winter sets in.

    I can dig that. I just went and checked this car out. Runs, drives. Leaks a little at the frnt trans seal, needs aforementioned weatherstrips. I'm excited 'cuz I can take my wife, two gorgeous little girls (Frankie is 4, ruby is 15 mos) to every car show/cruise I go to. I couldn't do that in my T Bucket...AKA The Peter Beater.

    Jdubbya alerted me to a dude on E-gay selling Soffseals pretty cheap. Anyone use Soffseals? I'm getting this car tomorrow and NEED to replace these so I can cruise year round.

    try this place, you're best bet is to get one of thier paper catalogs or call them, cause the online stuff sucks. I have several of the catalogs and they have quite a few parts.

    Put in for a free catalog (the only kind I get) from USA. Can't wait to go 'Laccin'. Now, the chore of pickin' a vanity plate. I was thinkin' 'CALIDAC'.....Cadillac almost spelled bass-asswards. Maybe 'TOOFNLO'. I'll finger it out when I get to thge MI Sec. of State.
