The Old Rusty Cadillac West of Rochelle Illinois

I know, I know, it has been a while since the last video. Eventually I will make more. Here is one for your entertainment especially if you like old cars. :-)

I always stop there to check it out if u peek into the barn there is a sailboat

Rumor has it this car is going away; of course I've been hearing the like for about two years. I have a contact with the owner and would love to verify this information or mis-information. It's been featured on American Pickers, local telephone books, and even some calendars. Right now there's a sailboat parked nearby that seems to get in the way of the creative process, but it still remains a photographer's dream. My dad owned one of these back in the 1960s; white top over emerald green!

@puppetmaster983 thanks man for the info

@bostonguy01 I bought a 1959 Cadillac 6229K sedan about 5 months ago. I got a quote on some basic maintenance (Tranny recap, carb rebuild, suspension kit, and rewire). 12,000 for all of that. O_O So I learned how to do it myself, and wound up having to pay only 5K for the rewire, and a new interior. DIY is pretty easy. Just have patience! :)

@joevan30000 with the weather i'd say you got a good 50 years before its beyord restoring as it looks like serfacerust

[joevan30000]

Thats a really cool Caddy. To bad someone doesn't fix it up before it sits longer and is beyond restoration.

My Uncle had one of these when I was a kid. It was stolen from in front of his house at 1139 White Plains Road in the Bronx...

@birdman89100 Hey Mike, I forgot to ask you...did you go inside the Caddy or was it locked?

[jeff1969z]

Awesome slideshow!!! That is a 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan. My good friend Mike a.k.a. birdman89100 took some video of it. He told me it has a 1968 Illinois license plate on it. I give this video five stars!!!!
