rocketraider Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Went to a local community festival today. They had a cruise-in, several interesting cars, and notably... <span style="font-weight: bold">A 1919 Cadillac 7-passenger touring car, fresh from the barn with 6900 miles!</span> Car had an interesting history from new and had reportedly been out of its home city only twice in its lifetime.Watching that nascent V8 work was fascinating, especially the starter/generator! The thing had dual exhaust- I have soot specks on my khakis to prove it! And as quiet as any modern engine.The guy had done a tuneup and carb rebuild to get it running, and said he had had to clean every grease tube and fitting on the car of hardened grease. Exterior and top were rough, but I really believe a few applications of Lexol would have brought the interior leather backI took the 76 Ninety Eight, which is the largest modern Oldsmobile ever built, and this Caddy dwarfed me damn big Osemobile!And natcherly me without a camera of any description <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
