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!

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! Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
