Here is a video of a guy that is restoring Al Capone’s 1927 Cadillac.I found it very interesting. Will be waiting for his follow ups.
If you are located in the Oregon region you may want to become a member of the Horseless Carriage Club of America – Portland Region Group They have a bunch of classics and there was even a 1912 Cadillac spotted there. Looks like a bunch of fun.
Just saw a 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood for sale on craigslist for only $4000. It has 98,000 miles. click the link for more details.
