Looking for 1957 Dual Ghia parts .

Now you and your shop definitely sound like a class act 👍

Sounds like a heck of a shop not being open about what a reality price is on a restoration , why would a real restoration shop have to hide the truth to get work and end up with a bunch of stalled projects ?

If a car has had paint work is it truly an original ?

Is this packard really worth the 4 million asking price ?

Now that is a beautiful Cadillac !

Perfect for ed , for sale in

John well aware of the process was looking for someone that has actually had gold plating done and could recommend a shop they were happy with , I need to have some some emblems done in gold for a 53 eldorado . Thanks

Any recommendations for gold plating of emblems ?

Get well soon !

Not a bad price for a driver coupe , now if it was an Eldorado convertible then it would bring some real money .

I want the coke truck !!

Why do people who restore 53 skylarks and eldorados never take the time to get the door and hood gaps uniform ?

Beautiful Cadillac and its great to see a father and son do their own work 👍

Condolences to his wife ,children and family . Sounds like he was a great guy .

The bolts have some room to move to move so its not as simple as just bolt it in and good to go , measurements before and after are vital . I have seen more than a few put back wrong where the windshield did not fit properly .

Each post is bolted on with 3 bolts and also brazed to the cowl , must be cut iff for re chroming and then brazed and bolted back in place . A lot of the body mods were done with big hammers and lots of lead . The doors for example used the bottom half of a regular door and then a custom made top section and then joined together .

That is always a huge time saver 👍 Hopefully whoever was restoring it if they cut the windshield post off for re chroming they put it back on correctly .

Great let me know if you need anything for the 53 , what color is the 53 if you dont mind me asking ?

Thats quite the coincidence I’m restoring a 59 also , the only Biarritz with a factory cloth and leather interior that is going back on factory air ride .

I can not help with the move but if you are going to restore it I have many extra and nos 53 eldo parts if you are missing anything .

Quality materials will cost a minimum of 7k so figure 25 and up as a starting point for a decent job .

yes insured letter was returned as p o box closed , the phone number belongs to a new person so evidently he is closed
