TBG 150 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yeah, it used to be the US of A. I don't know what it is anymore. Friggin Libatards have ruined every good country in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlar26 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 absolutely beautifull. I bet you could paint 5 cars with what it must have taken you to do that one. If you want to go open the door for the mrs, you have to pack a lunch. Its a long walk. hope you have a long garage. You have done a wonderful job. you have a masterpiece.

TBG 150 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Gee thanks. I'm not used to people saying nice things to me. ;) That's the original 54 year old lacquer on it too. There were other cars just as long or longer. It's 225". And it fits in the garage with 1/2" to spare between the bumper and the door braces.

Guest Squirrel Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 You got the original ash tray and cigarette lighter? That adds value, you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NullBurner Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don't like these American 'street ships' but you have did a great job. I'm impressed. I wonder how many a car lover would pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickshot Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Plenty. There are clubs and car shows just for Cadillacs. Cherry '59's usually start around $40K USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NullBurner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 There are a lot of these shows here too. Mostly Benz shows, where all those Benz lovers gets horny like a young boy, when he is touching his first vagina. It's unbelievable how many money they spend for such cars.

TBG 150 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 You would be amazed at the prices the Europeans pay for these cars. Lot's to Sweden, Germany, U.K.. Australia and N.Z import them by the container load. Then they spend a fortune for parts. I see them traded all over the world. Other countries love big American Iron. But mine is no showpiece. That's where the expression, 20 footer came about. At 20 feet she stands proud. Up close you can see what time does. But I can get in it at any time, turn the key and enjoy it. Most people let them rot in a garage. It's a car damnit, drive it !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NullBurner Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Europeans, especially Germans, are willing to pay more for cars in general. I've payed EUR 72.790,- for my BMW M3 Coupé, list price was EUR 66.650,- without any specials. Would you, as an American, pay more than $100.000 for just a car? I don't know why, because I'm not an economist, but the prices in the United States are lower than in Europe, not even for cars. From European perspective, the United States looks like the paradise on earth when we talk about prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It depends on what you want to drive. Why spend a $100k on a car when you can't drive it here. The Mercs, Bmw's Audis are designed to 200kms/hr all day long. Here you drive 125kms/hr and you get a citation. That also depends on the territory in which you are driving. Out in the desert you can run like the Autobahn. I paid near $50k for my Ford Platinum 150 p-cup and I love it. The Caddy I got cheap as far as classic prices go. But I've had it 8 years too.
