WOW!But the picture (atleast it seems like that)- I would never - I mean NEVER - use a jack without stands - too many accidents that happen that way. I had once luck and onlymy NOS air filter for my 1960 383 V8 was crushed - thank god I wasn't under my Imperial that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AntarcticDave Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi RAFA, One of these days I am going to post the story of my 47, including things like the guy rebuilding the engine skipping town. In the meantime, here's a picture from a tour the club did last fall. I always loved these old GM fastbacks. I bought this car on Ebay from someone in Pennsylvania who'd had it stored 2 decades. I've been slowly restoring her over the last 6 years. I'm just about done with mechanical work, having just got the front end rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AntarcticDave Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Cool car RAFA, mine will hopefully shine that much when I get the 30 year old lacquer stripped and the car repainted, and some more re-chroming done. Your friend should join the local Cadillac & LaSalle club - they have some fun events. We're all headed down to Durango 8/23 for a steam train ride, a private tour at Mesa Verde, a dinner at a dude ranch, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Cullen Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Sweet car! That door looks as if it's 8 feet long! Those caddies are popular down here too, I have seen as many as 3-4 together at the bigger shows (200+ cars). They look like they are going 80 when they are sitting still.
