I love my job....somedays a lot more than others.

I do automotive repair in my own small shop. I have been around long enough to have outlived a lot of the other fellows that knew how to work on this stuff. I was only 7 years old when this was built. Is that good or bad?

1960 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. 62000 actual original miles. 99% original and unmolested in every way. Some of the straightest sheet metal I have EVER seen. ENJOY!!! I know I sure did!!

Beautiful. You can tell that it has been well loved. Do they drive it?

Not nearly enough. The last time I worked on it was about 4 years ago. At that time, the REAR wheel cylinders were leaking. This time it was the front wheels cylinders sticking. The car only gained 23 miles in the past 4 years. I put 30 miles on it today!!

Lucky dog.

I do love the long, lean lines of a classic.

You naughty, naughty man. Go sit in the naughty spot for 30 minutes.

How many miles did it have on it? Do you remember? I'm guessing that they drove maybe once or twice in the last 4 years from the sounds of it. On one hand, it's a shame; on the other, it is more than likely what kept it in such beautiful shape.

As of right now it has 62,308 miles on it.

I'll see if I can find the pictures of the little red Corvette I did last summer...........

Is that a 56? I'm not good on the year, but that is my favorite body style.

What is could it possibly need done?

1962. It needs some charging system repair. It gets DRIVEN like it should!!



Drive it like ya stole it, is my motto!
