1964 Cadillac series 62 convertible: garaged April/Nov: stored Dec/March. Mechanically: For a car ½ century old, his is its strongest point. Mine starts every time, hifts smoothly, teers and stops with no play or pull. It's adaily driver so safety and reliability are non-negotiable. That's where most of my $ went, hat's why I have confidence in my Cadillac. Every summer, take several road trips of almost 200 miles each, ut my car never overheats, oesn't burn oil (leaks some though when it sits) and is rock steady every time I hit 100 mph (as I said, lot has been replaced and repaired to make it absolutely safe and reassuringly dependable, ll with receipts, f course). Everything works except the clock, actory A/C and the W/Squirters. There is NO heater. Cosmetically: Although my car gets thumbs up and even stops traffic (everyone-- from kids to Moms and Grandmas-- loves this Cadillac), t's a daily driver with all that implies: minor dings, cratches and scrapes. There is one bubble in the driver's lower door and the chrome needs attention, ut no one notices at 10/10. When the Cadillac was delivered, only had it buffed out, lthough wet sanding was recommended. Apparently this had been "overlooked" following its last paint job which I'm told is the original color. The good news here is the potential to significantly improve the finish w/o the cost of a new paint job. And, es, t does pass the magnet test. The owner's manual and the shop manual come with it, s does my file, f course. I even have 1964 IL license plate. I use a scissors jack but the original is just where it should be. What's great here is this Cadillac is totally your call, turn-keycruiser or an apt candidate for restoration.
