Dad has two Caddy's in the shop and was surprised they both fit! The 38 Limo is as long as the 59 Biarritz! LOL This one is a driver the family let sit in a garage after the dad died. They finally decided to get it out and get it on the road again only to find the interior ruined by moths/rats/mice etc. One of twenty eight Coach built 1938 Caddy's. Dad was saying it's not often he has to use the largest board size for door panels and these are some of the biggest he's done.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Really cool. Would love to see one in person.

The landau top on this wasn't in the budget I guess. They had somebody repair it with silicon which would have looked fine, except they didn't smooth it out and left it looking like a booger weld!

Come on, pop the hood and give us some shots of that engine! Very, very few autos were ever made with a V16.

A man I worked for in the later 70’s had the caddy with the v-16. Only time I’ve ever seen one of those motors.
