Default Check out my new ride

It is a 1961 Cadillac 6 window, 390, with air, power assist brakes, PS, AM radio, all original even the paint. 81,100 original miles. Rust free except in one spot on left front lower fender. It needs some transmission work and a new water pump but that's it.








Garaged its whole life and the interior is MINT. The headliner, door panels, dash pad, the whole inside, even the carpet is original. It all looks like new except for the carpet which only shoes minimal wear. The upholstery is unbelievable and really looks like day one except for one small area. It's like the original owners had clean clothes every time they drove it The back seat is really like day 1. There is no way that if you saw it you would think that it was from 1961. One owner and it sat since 1983 because of the transmission. It runs and drives fine, just can't get out of first gear.

I like it. My 1960 Chrysler 300F came out of Salem Oregon and was in either Oregon or California all its life. Cars from that area do not have rust as the climate is so moderate.Those Oregon plates are probably original to the car.
