    I'm a sucker for a boat. My dad had a 66 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors. He was a machine salesman and machine shop owner. I remember taking my drivers exam in a 73 Lincoln Continental, it's the one I learned to drive in. We took it into empty parking lots and thats where I learned how to park it. He said if I could park it, back it into a spot, I was ready to take my exam. I passed my exam the first time. I own a 2016 Lincoln MKZ, nice car, but nothing like driving the old Lincolns. Brought back some memories on this one Randy!! Thanks!
    By the way, I'm all for watching a rebuild on this one, the Caddies have a huge following! I think you can bring this one back Randy...go for it!

    From a distance, the Cadillac looks good, and I like the black exterior and white leather interior. However, the interior is in rough shape, and the exterior could use some work. However, with some work into the car, I'm sure it will look better.
    Even though you may not have the money or time, changing the door panels and front seats, getting a pair of taillights, and patch up the exterior scratches, will make this Caddy look slick.

    What an AWESOME car! My dad bought a car like this and it was SO much fun to cruise around southern California with the top down. I drove with my friends from Redondo Beach up to Santa Barbara. We had SUCH a great time! I can't wait to see you do a full restoration on this, Randy! Great pick, Monkey Wrench!!!

    My brother bought one of those from an estate sale many years ago. It was metallic pea green with a white top. He drove the car to Juarez and had the interior redone with red leather. We nicknamed the car "The Watermelon". The ride was cushy, the torque abundant, and the fuel consumption comparable to a small ship.

    There hasn’t been a video that I haven’t enjoyed watching from your channel Randy. This one in particular was very entertaining and enjoyable, especially with Monkey Wrench Mike. That old boat hasn’t been on the road for who knows how long, it just needs some TLC, something that it hasn’t experienced in a long time. This car is worth fighting for and I’m glad to see you aren’t throwing in the towel on it, this car really deserves a second chance.

    In 1976 my parents bought a brand new Eldorado. White with a 2 tone blue and white interior. Absolutely gorgeous car, the leather was baby butt smooth, and smelled so nice. It drove beautifully, was quicker than you would think. We had it 6 years it was very reliable, and so comfortable to drive and travel in. We drove it form Southern California to Wilmington North Carolina 3 times and never an issue. Its to bad you never knew these cars when NEW. Dont jump to conclusions that things are this or that, you're not familiar with the car and are making some mistakes. You dont press on the CENTER of the steering wheel to blow the horn, you press on the rubber area to blow it. Radio may work, but wont with antenna down. You guys are definitely doing DOUG DEMURO negative saracsm to the max. Good luck with it.
