Once upon a time, about two months ago, I was riding down a country road to a job I was working on...... and something caught my eye. Perhaps, long ago, it was someone's pride and joy, however, it's luck had ran out. The wheels in my head turned. I rode by it seven more days and couldn't fight the call. I left a note at the home nearest it ( it was in a field ). I ended up almost forgetting about it and the phone rang. It was the owner and he said he wanted to sell it for $350. I knew it must be inoperable. Not so, It is a running 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham de elegance. Straight body, good interior, thrashed top, and minimal rust. I drove it about 60 miles to my home. I am amazed to say the very least. I have always had a soft spot for the big body Cadillacs and this is my first. So, this is the beginning of my journey. After getting all of the gremlins expelled, I will put new color and a top on it and make it something my girl might actually ride in with me.
