keiser31 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Did anyone notice the '53 or so Corvette next to the Cadillac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex98thdrill Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I wonder if they'll make a pedal car to match that Caddy in the junk yard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Is that Caddy a 1953? Making a peddle car of it would be quite a challenge, but I bet it would bring some big bucks! Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You can now buy paint and powder coat designed to simulate rust if your Rat Rod is too nice and needs to be uglied up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see hood hinges and a windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Call Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 DandyI think you are right about that being a 53 Caddy. The 54 was the first year with the eyebrow headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leonard Shepherd Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If you want to see real rust, I bought some cars in an old junk yard that they were going to bulldoze over.There was a 26 Packard turned into a wrecker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Bob Call and 1DandyDaves,Close but no cigar - the Caddy is appears to be a '51 (not '53). Yes, the '54 had a hooded fender - the '53 had its Dagmars in the grille where this '51 had its(now-removed) parking/fog lights. The '53 had rectangular parking lights where this '51 has its correct chrome rectangular housings below the headlights. The bumper lying across the hood is further evidence of the '51 model-year with its Dagmars rising at an interior-angle from the bumper toward the grille. A '52 was similar to the '51, but with a gold "V" on the hood and trunk-lid to celebrate Cadillac's Golden Anniversary Year, and the rectangular panels beneath the headlights were gold-colored with winged-emblems. You can go to www.CadillacLaSalleclub.org , scrolldown to visit the data-base, and go to the years in question. I'm sure this is more detail than anyone really wants, but I'd rather help keep the record straight, than to have another reader accidentally misinformed. I've owned a '52 and still drive a '54....... Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
