Fleetwood Meadow

The car has no interior. The seats are destroyed, the door cards are missing. The headliner is removed. He probably switched to 12 volts because he couldn’t get the wiring right. To me it sounds like a lot of money for a shell of a vehicle. The interior is close to $10k to restore. To rechrome the small pieces will cost thousands. It’s missing the passenger fresh air intake in the engine bay.

The listing was deleted.

I have had 2 Cadillac 75s and neither one had anything under the hood. That’s why I’m asking about it. They were just metal and what looked like body undercoating on the inside of the hood. But I’m sure that’s not what I should be using.

I am in the process of repainting my 1952 Cadillac and I am at the point where I need to paint the engine bay. For the inside of the hood do I need to use some sort of insulation? Is there a spray insulation that should be used? Can I skip insulation? What are the thoughts on insulating the hood?

I wouldn’t say the paint scheme ALWAYS looks bad. It’s unique for sure. Without the definite paint stop after the trim it looks odd but I’ve seen much worse ideas. What I do find concerning is that it claims the original engine is in it and one of the pictures shows the Cadillac blue engine. However another picture of it shows an engine in Chevy small block orange..

Price dropped to $9,500

Is the wind lace on the driver’s door falling off the frame on the B pillar? And are we at all concerned that there is no picture of the engine bay or trunk? Or the underside? As much as I love our American flag it concerns me that someone would put a giant sticker on a door’s paint. My friend did that to cover a nasty dent.

No the material comes off with a brush or vacuum and leaves just the backing.

I’m not calling the information you gave misguided. I’m saying bringing it up to a crowd that are already feeling attacked was misguided. I thought the information was good because any research that proves fact is important. Unfortunately in todays society we are supposed to “believe the science” until it isn’t what we want to hear. So no matter how much fact and research we provide to say we aren’t the cause of all of life’s issues they will still say that we are. You and I have argued in the past about things but I didn’t have an issue with you saying that we aren’t the problem. The main message of my post was lost. If this is going to be used to pit members against members then it may not be worth the argument, at least here.

Peter, it was a nice but misguided attempt to present this material. We all know electric vehicles have become a political agenda because our politician, including the President of the United States has decided to force them by 20__.. That makes them political. This topic has been deleted many times due to the aggressive approach of responses and personal attacks brought up by it. Unfortunately they did not allow the consumer to decide if they want electric vehicles, they are attempting to force them upon us. We have seen in this very thread that the debate is as sensitive as the abortion topic. So I think it would be in the best interest of this forum that you do what you do when other threads get aggressive and remove it.

Btw, the car is listed as sold.

I find it funny how some cars are the holy grail on here and others are garbage regardless of condition. For $2500 any car with all its fenders and an engine is worth it in today’s world. There is a Hudson a guy on here is going to buy at around $13000 for the similar condition and everyone says he would be crazy not to buy it. Help me understand this bizarre logic.. please..

28 months! That’s far too long. There are plenty of things I can do but I’m losing steam when I have seen no progress updates, I haven’t been told that they are even assembling it. And every time I hear from him they have been “closed.” And then he has the nerve to tell me he gave me a discount for waiting. It it’s still almost $9k. And to add insult to injury a friend of mine had an engine rebuilt by them too. He gave it to them last year and the engine is already back in the car. It’s hard to keep your chin up when you can’t move the thing or hear it run. How does one get the motivation. To spend thousands of dollars on a lawn ornament? I guess it’s just finally hitting me that I made a mistake with using this guy and he certainly isn’t getting my ‘51 Dodge engine that I want to rebuild..
