My dad used to get free Lawnmowers all the time. He had a small engine repair shop from the time I was 3 or 4, until I was about 12, when he gave it up to focus on the gun sales more (he did both from our barn, and then later a shop in town.) People would bring them in for repairs, and if they...
I've had a Buick Electra and a Cadillac Fleetwood, there is little difference, when you get down to it.
I happen to prefer the Caddy for a few extra details/gingerbread, and the prestige of the name. Besides a matter of preference, they're pretty much the same thing.
Around here...
That baby had everything and the kitchen sink.
All the power goodies, all the deluxe add-ons, heck, I didn't even know Olds had the Autronic Eye in '53.
On the note of back-up lights, my 58 and 60 Chevy Sedans didn't have them, I think only the Impalas did.

Besides needing to pinstripe the new fender, you wouldn't notice the difference.
I couldn't have done it without my dad and brother in law helping me. Jeff had a Bonneville and had to do the same to it.
Ever since she told me she wants a Caddy like mine, I've been on the lookout for a beater...
Of course I'm going to fix it, I just got her the car 3 weeks ago, or so.
No, I don't have a dealer's license, unless you would care to lend me 50 grand ;)
She doesn't want a truck, she likes sedans lol
Something newer? You clearly don't know who you're talking to :p
NO! She didn't...
Yup she hit a deer.
Oh, yes. Luckily, I found a new hood, fender, and headlight/cornering lamp assembly.
The hood and fender are at the body shop and will be painted and ready tomorrow.
That would mean I let her drive it! I'll let her stick to the Bonneville. Once she actually LEARNS to drive, maybe I'll let her behind the wheel of the brougham :p
Physically, no, mechanically, yes. Big block, 3/4 ton frame, 1 ton suspension, 4.10 gears, 5 speed Allison. It's a monster...
She does know that. I let her drive my truck while I was doing some roofing, to run some errands for me, though. Figured she couldn't break that monster too easy lol
On that note, my two favorite ladies in my life:
Don't even say that, I've already had to put a new hood, grille, and headlight on my Brougham! (And she's a terrible driver)
Farms are great, especially if they have plenty of storage space for autos.
I'm not doing anything of the sort! lol
