Honestly that patina and chrome is just gorgeous, only thing I'd ever do to it is restore and maintain the engine and tires, something about a caddy like that, that isn't chopped all to hell is very nice.
Wow... this brings back many memories of my dad and I pulling one just like it out of a field in NW Missouri. My dad is no longer with me but I’ve been slowly (after many setbacks) trying to finish his dream. Some day soon “Jezebel” will be on the road again.
Do one thing a day and it will get done. - not my wisdom, but a professional mechanic told me that and after a year, I did have that project running ! Worked on it as often as I could. Good luck.
My dad's first car in 1963. Drove like a dream. But 1 liter of petrol for 3 kilometers was far above the family budget in the Netherlands during these times.
I am still a prewar lover, but this land yacht floats my boat. Dig the curves on this big old girl. Nice find. Suggest off white paint and mint green interior
Think you call that a steal ! A lot of car for a tiny amount of money ! That must be one of the first OHV V8 engines ? l guess they had to lead by example. Although l'm the kind of guy that restores everything this needs a gentle flat down and then a coat of lacquer. Look forward to seeing more of this monster and l could see your father had that mischievous glint in his eye !😈😈 Great stuff guys ! Take care and stay safe.
