I am restoring a 1939 Cadillac series 61 convertible.

I am trying to find someone to properly redo the wood grain dash. It is supposed to be a dark ribbon walnut pattern.

Tried to contact Thomas Lokay in Florida but I can't get ahold of him.

Any other leads to try.

Thanks

Hi Tom, We just joined the AACA, and just purchased a 1939 Cadillac 4door convertible model 6129 at auction at Monterey 8/15/09. We are learning a bout our car, and we were told that there were 7 survivors---We know there was just one up for auction at the wwg.auction in Auburn on 9/5/09---It did not sell, but had a high bid of $55,000. We love our car so far, but need to tweak a few things. We live in Pasadena California, and our phone number is 626-799-9999. I will send a picture. Regards, Malcolm and Nancy Royalty

Sounds cool!

My car has had the engine newly rebuilt along with the tranny, frame, gas tank and the rest of the mechanicals.

Now, the body has had a lot of metal repair done (mostly floor pans) and the rockers have to be rebuilt. I'm a tall guy and the fellas at the shop are at work moving back the dividing wall (between the front and rear seats) and strengthening the "B" pillars. This would give me a couple more inches of leg room.

Originally, the car had a gray exterior and gray interior leather. I plan to change to a nice dark green exterior with tan interior leather.

The Cadillac LaSalle Club has a new authenticity manual for our cars. It provides a lot of info.

Keep in touch.

Tom

Tom Lokay did my dash. I did finally get ahold of him.

Perfect job! They look exactly like the pictures you posted.
