I am an inveterate car guy and have been for at least 50 of my 66 years. I am NOT a dealer, nor am I involved in the car business- I am just an old nostalgic nerd who LOVES old cars (especially the ones my father had or I had when I was a kid). Now, I've discovered as I've gotten older that I have the one quality I never had as a kid: PATIENCE, So, that means that now I can take apart, clean and rebuild a carburetor, do the brakes, correctly fix other stuff - none of which I had the patience to do as a kid-so I'm making up for it now. BUT, I get bored easily so from time to time I buy a car and sell the one I have.
My usual "MO" is to carefully look to find the nicest car I can find and address whatever mechanical issues it requires; usually meaning maintenance issues like re-building a carburetor, or putting brakes on, or something that has to do with non-critical mechanical stuff (fixing a power seat, for example). I cannot and do not restore them, I rejuvenate them-BIG DIFFERENCE because they have to be REAL GOOD to start. Then, I drive them and enjoy them for a while UNTIL the next beauty I see "winks" at me and I take her home to play with.
That's how I came to buy this Caddy about 2 years ago, here's why:
Every once in a while a car from the 60's comes along that is in truly remarkable original condition and it looks and drives like it was just a 3 year old car. This is such a car (I know because I drove them back then when they WERE 3 years old).
This car came from the heirs of the ORIGINAL owner and was garaged and properly cared for from day one. There is no rust whatsoever on the car's body and there never was. This has always been a west coast car.
EVERY OPTION AND FEATURE ON THE CAR WORKS PROPERLY- NO EXCEPTIONS. EVERYTHING I LISTED WORKS CORRECTLY INCLUDING THE AC which is STILL on R-12 and BLOWS STRONGLY AND COLD.
The body is beautiful and looks to me to be nearly totally factory original paint with only the door on the driver's side showing evidence of prior repair (family told me it was damaged early on at a church parking lot and fixed many, many years ago). There ARE a few minor dings here and there but you have to WANT to find them to see them. The car looks new from 5 feet away.
The Interior is near perfect and is still the factory original leather; there are no rips or cracks. No rips or even signs of wear in the headliner or door panels, either. Original carpeting is still beautiful.
The original Chrome is very nice with only a super small rust spot on the driver's side front bumper bucket. It is not readily visible unless you look for it, but it is there so I am mentioning it.
Every light works properly-including the cornering lights.
The car runs perfectly and silently after it is warmed up.
The Engine blows NO SMOKE. There is NEVER any smoke from the exhaust-at any speed or at any time. NEVER !
5 NEW Tires, ALL new Brake Shoes, Hoses, Hardware and Master Cylinder.
Car runs COOL (normal) all the time.
If you are a collector looking for a REALLY well preserved example (NOT PERFECT, BUT SUPERB NEVERTHELESS) this would be a good choice.
If you are a novice looking for your first collector car and want one that you just put the key in and don't have to do anything to, this is an EVEN BETTER CHOICE.
I have purchased another car and I need the room, because there's only so long my wife will let me keep her A-8 in the driveway.
Come see it and come drive it.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
