    You might try looking through" Hemmings Motor News," it can be a good source for parts.
    There lots of advertisers,both commercial and private party. It may be worth a try.

    Compared to Fords and Chevys it's hard to find Cadillac parts. Aside from basic mechanical stuff, generic GM body seals, and repro tail lights, not much is available. Good used parts are fairly rare. The things that are reproduced tend to be relatively expensive. Knowing that, when I was looking for a 48-49 fastback/coupe/sedanette I passed on quite a few before finding one that wasn't missing expensive or hard to find parts.

    Lesson learned... I just liked it to much ... Should have gave it more thought before I bought it. Damn door panels cost more than what I paid for whole car!

    Dunno if any of the parts you need will interchange with a Fleetwood Brougham, but I know where two '61s are sitting about an hour and a half south of where I'm sitting.
     
  6. All I need is a Radiator for engine size 390 Cubic-Inch 6.4L

    Not much luck- -I might just have to shop Ebay. .poo

  8. There is a place in Rapid City, SD called Moore's. Last time I was there they had around 65-70 solid Caddys. They're not the cheapest but they have some good parts.
