In those years I think they were all pretty close to the same production wise, don't know if a guy could call any of them rare per se. There are a LOT of one year only parts to them, however, and it makes restoring them less than fun. This car has been much worse than even my Riv. I do have a few years I like better than others. This generation I like the '67 for stacked headlights and a '70 for horizontal headlights best, but a '60 Coupe Deville is one of my dream cars. Theyre just "perfect" to me, still outrageous and blatantly American without the complete ridiculousness of a '59. I'll get one some time.
My favorite is the 61 or the 62 Coupe de Ville; but then again, there isn't much out of the 62 GM model line up I don't like, I think that was the prettiest year for GM cars.
Favorite Cadillac, 34\35 series 355 57 and 60 el Dorado 55 2 door coop (Grandpa had one). Also like the 96 Fleetwood in black. Fleetwood's of the eightys are pretty reliable and easy to work on.
We had hail here Saturday afternoon. The day started out a bit cloudy, cleared up, sunny, then came the rain which turned into a brief hail. Temps below normal.
Fall has arrived in Sunny SW Florida. Today is the first day in months that the temperature is not forecast to reach 90, and it is expected to stay in the upper 80s for the next 10 days. We haven't had any rain in five days, so the dry season which usually begins in late October may be starting.
These are wheels I had made from an old school cat in orange county make 60 spoke wheels...I don't like the 100 spoke look to much old school is the way to roll. Here are my impala wheels
Sad day Finally woke up to snow on the ground and had to give in to winter even though it's melted now....The city uses any excuse they have to put the caustic crap on the roads they can, so had to get the good wheels and tires off and roll old school again.
Monday, I did the oil changes, fuel fill ups, etc. on the '65 Skylark and '68 Nova. Parked for winter.
Been mid 50s and sunny all week, I drove the Riviera the last 2 days, and I just killed my first mosquito of the year.....I think it's over
We've still got at least a month left. It's warm today and melting like crazy, but I heard rumours that there's snow on the way next week. That would be about right; it all melts off and is just about dry, and then another dump comes along and extends it for another weeks.
Snow gone here, except for the ugly piles left from snow plowing. Only some rain in the forecast. We need a heavy rain to wash the salt off the roads.
I spent some time today chopping ice chunks from in front of the portable garage which houses my trailer. Hope to get it out and ready to roll tomorrow. Track opens on April 3rd. Would like to make it , weather permitting of course. Gonna be close, will have to see......Jim
I had the 70 Lark out Saturday, did 100 miles or so, was beautiful. Haven't made it to Streetnight yet, getting some bugs worked out. Was just hailing out , has changed to snow. Welcome to New England, where the only thing you can predict is the Superbowl....Jim
Got 4 inches so far in Ottowa today, and still falling. I'm used to long winters here but this is too much...I'm getting irate...
