Hey from Worcester County by the by

Yes

It's doing fine, haven't been out much this year. Will be going to a big show next weekend weather permitting.

Yes, still have it and enjoying it,

Steven Lachowetz so glad. I of course still have my 58 that's been in the family since 1960. I was 1. Still driving it regularly. Will never sell it. Part of family and family ties to departed loved ones, parents, brother, etc. Lifelong so cal car.you did a beautiful job on you car, CONGRATULATIONS.

Cleveland Maker best guess, And I Own a 58 caddy also, 40.000 minimum.

Steve Franklin kinda figured

Cleveland Maker yeah, these 50s caddys are some of the most expensive cars to restore, if you go whole hog. My caddy was the family car that my parents bought in 1960 from a DR friend of theirs. I was not yet 2 years old . I have spent about 18.000 in mechanical repairs alone to bring it back to life after sitting about 20 years. she's now on the road again. life long so cal car so no rust issues. I have been quoted as much as 15.000 dollars if I want to have all the CHROME redone, and at least ten grand for a nice paint job. fortunately the CHROME is decent as is, and I'll probably go with a 5 o 6 grand paint job. she could use a reupholstry job, and have been quoted around 5 grand consistently. Eventually I'll get these things done, been in family 58 years now! she's part of the family lol.

Steve Franklin I want a 1959 but I'm looking at finding a #3 and about 25,000 or saving up about 55,000 for one

Mine is a 1955 Series 62 Sedan. When I got it, it was leaking oil and fuel out of the engine. It has taken $8000 to get it all working: New tires (They were $300/each for them. I've never paid so much for tires), new braking system, new fuel pump, new fuel line, rebuilt carburetor, new valve seals, new lights, new light sockets. Service was done to the transmission, rear differential and power steering. It has all new filters and fluids. It has had a tune-up. That's all that I remember right now. It needed grease, dirt and rust cleaned off of the underside and engine. The metal was then sealed and painted. It needs a new motor for the antenna to go up and down. Re-plating the rear bumper parts that go over the exhausts will be $1200-1500 (the price range is based on whether or not the bolts had rusted in place due to age, needing then to be cut off, and new ones welded on). Those parts go bad due to the constant heat and moisture. It needs the hood ornament re-plated as well. I was quoted $5000 to do the body work and paint it. One door scrapes when opened or closed. The wheel covers aren't straight. There is some rust in the rear quarter. The hood can be straightened a bit. The painting involves sanding it down, then priming and painting, followed by 3 or 4 coats of clear coat. It would cost me $5000+ for a new interior. I will have the existing interior repaired, though, as it is the original interior.

Hi Ralph, I'm assuming you mean the chrome trim on the top of the fin, if so, They are bolted in. There are studs on the back of the molding and you need a very long extension to get up in the fin to remove the nuts from below. be careful!! they are fragile.

Thanks, I figured as much, I will make an extention out of some round stock . these car have a lot of chrome and stainless thanks once again.

really terrible color now.......

Like '68 Polara MUCH MORE!

Steven Lachowetz how much did all that cost?

Steven Lachowetz hey Steve, I followed you on this back when, do you still have the car? I have my 58 that my parents bought in 1960. I was tooling around town in it today.
