I was so excited to see a cadillac being detailed I love cars from the 40, 50, 60's

My best friend is the owner of this car. Saw it when it was delivered, you guys did a great job with it! Saved me alot of work prior to next year's car shows 👍🏻

It cleaned up really nice. Is your friend planning a full restoration, or just getting it running mechanically and drive it as is? It looks nice enough to drive as is.

Standard transmission? It might be a three on the tree. I had a 1952 Caddy hearse with a V8 and 3 speed transmission. Caddy’s and Hudson were huge in stock car racing in those days.

@@WeeShoeyDugless Then again you think the Yugo and Citation were great.

Hiding the gas cap behind tail lights was a very common practice in the 1950s. The fan under the seat is to distribute the air back to the back seat as well as the front seat so the whole car was warm not just the front. And lastly 1950 to about 1964 are my favorite car years

I think that it's very cool to hide the gas cap behind the tail light. This way, if no one knows where the filler neck is for your gas tank, no one will be able to steal your gas.

Eventually all GM cars had it behind the license plate or in plain view on the fender w/a door. My favorite period is the Art Deco Cars of the late ‘30s & early ‘40s. My next most favorite is 1958 through 1970. Especially GM and most especially Cadillac. We saw the last of real wood in the interiors in this era. 1966 for most of GM and 1968 for Cadillac.

That brought back some fond memories for me, my dad had a 1957 Caddy convertible he restored in 1967, my wife and I used to put the top down and take it out for some long rides in 1969 right after we got married, the car, my mom and dad, and my wife as well are all gone now, just life, but the memories remain.

My favorite years of Detroit manufactured vehicles was 1955 through 1972. I liked all types of vehicles from that era. Started driving end of 1970 and the streets were filled with these vehicles. We knew then many were collectibles....never imagined younger generations would have the same passion as I had. Like to see more of these driven around town now....

The 50s were probably the greatest Era for cars. Nothing but beautiful, fine tuned, great running autos that were made for cruising and looks

Great fun! Some notes: I used Brillo pads to clean my white-wall tires. I loved QuicknBrite for plastic detailing; works really well - just don’t be in a hurry as it’s enzyme based. For the old oxidized paint, I just used the old green Turtle Wax on a buffer. Got amazing results on my ‘59 Plymouth.

Amazing Car!!! 50's and 60's had the coolest and best looking cars.

I am a vehicle collector myself. I have a few 1951 Cadillacs. 2 are sitting outside in pretty bad condition, one I have inside in pretty good condition. It’s identical to this one, except it wears a coat of black paint. These machines were ahead of their times.

Hey RJ, I have a lesson for you. A hub-cap & a wheel-cover. 1.) A hub-cap "sits" over the lig-nuts(the HUB!) 2.) A wheel-cover "sits" over the entire wheel, is mated on.👍🎉 Doug

What a beautiful car. It was an honor to watch, I imagine the pleasure of doing it. Amazing!

My favourite eras for US cars are the fifties and sixties: the "landyacht" times. Please do more of those. I'd love to see you do an Edsel (if you haven't done them already). Great work! Best wishes from Ian in Bath UK.

That car is in incredible shape. Awesome job. Best one yet.

Boy did this video bring back memories, when I started driving I had a 32 Pontiac with a 54 olds motor, Picked my mom up and after riding in my Pontiac that evening my parents called me down from my bedroom and offered me our 52 Cadillac convertible with dual spotlights and continental kit which was not being used because my dad had bought her a 58 4 door caddy. I cherished that car and washed and waxed it endlessly, Drove it to California once and after graduation I foolishly traded it in on a 1961 Impala! Enjoyed the video! Thanks, JP3 80 years young.

Favorite years personally are the 1950's and the 1960's. They seemed to get the styling and designing right for all the cars that were built in these two decades and the fact that the electrics and mechanical parts on these cars were very simple to work on; something that anyone could have a go at; which was the main intention of owning one of these cars at the time. It was meant as a DIY for the public. Btw I loved the clever little pop-out tail light that revealed the gas cap; such a genius design to make the car have a sleek look and have fancy features.

So glad you guys were able to give this old girl some love! That separate heater under the seat was common on luxury cars of the era. Those power windows and that top were hydraulic, rather than being operated by electric motors. That card holder was common on Cadillacs (and probably some other cars) of the day. You'd put what today we'd call the Owners Card or Protecto-Plate there. My favorite era of cars is from about 1964 through 1978. This car is a great color combination. I'm sure the new owner will get it back on the road soon.

Like the Corvettes you restored, it belongs in a museum. Nice job 😊

I really like the big led sleds from the 1940’s but might favorite styles came from the 1960’s. Also, for future reference, most of the time, when you see those metal ashtrays in cars, if you pull straight up when the lid is open, the whole thing comes out. It may make it easier for detailing and cleaning in the future. Great video as always ‘

AMAZING! Incredible transformation! Well done, Boys!

Cars of the 40's are my favorite. I loved my dad's 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I had my own wing window in the back seat! I felt like I was riding in a Rolls-Royce!

I love this, Cadillac man I wish I had one.

Those Cadillac rims are unique, heck everything on this beast is! The power brakes are called Tredelvac.

My Dad introduced me to a guy in Renton, Washington back in 1991. An expert Cadillac mechanic/body/frame restorer. He was so good he put 2 halves of a 50's Cadillac model together so perfect your naked eye couldn't see it. He had about 10 caddies, mostly from the 50's, but a couple from the 60's and 70's. He wore a gold chain about as thick as a pencil, with a full size Caddy hood ornament made of solid gold and diamonds around his neck. I was 20 when we met. He was the epitome of cool.

1955 to 1972 are my favorite cars..I own & drive a 1956 Chevy 2 door Business Coupe & a 1959 GMC 1/2 ton Step Side along with my daily driver 2002 S10 standard cab short bed

Can't pick a favorite car or even era, but I can exclude the JellyBean era that started way back and still kinda continues. The cool thing about this Caddy and others is that it has an actual face; it looks friendly and confident. Also, y'all make this look so easy!
