Now I'm just being greedy, 1960 Eldorado Brougham

Rolling with my homies in my newly bought 1960 Eldorado Brougham, it's car #86 of 101 built, hand made in Italy by Pinin Farina, the rarest post war production Cadillacs that exist are these and the 99 built in 1959 and still somewhat under the radar. The 57-58s are worth a ton more but I don't think they're anywhere as elegant.
It came fully equipped and there were no options to buy, choose your color and trim, it was a whopping $13,000 new, the equivalent of $100,000 in today's money. She's rides like she's on air because she is.

Miles and the La Salle 11

My son got to sit in Joe Bortz' restored La Salle 11 roadster from the 54 Motorama, you can see the unrestored La Salle 11 sedan in the backround

Amelia Island Concours

The Cadillac was invited to the Amelia Island Concours, it was a hit. I was parked next to the 1959 Cyclone, what an honor.

My pink '59 El Camino in front of my pink '36 house, yeah I'm a badass who's got it made, so what?

1961 Cadillac Eldorado

She was originally called Le Mans and she was obviously changed for the 1962 Chicago Auto Show with a a wreath and crest on the trunk lid, the letters ELDORADO replacing the Le Mans badge and a grille that reflected the new 1962 models.She looks way better in this configuration and it would be historically accurate to restore her to this stage in her life. These pictures were sent from GM's archives, they were taken on the patio at the design studios in Detroit. There is tons of stuff slowly coming out about this car, it's exciting.

I just bought this, one of one, original Bill Mitchell design study shown at the 1962 Chicago Auto Show, it's totally unique, it has custom features out the ying yang, it's a dream car.

And here's my 59 Chevy custom

59 Imperial grille is in, I made the filler pieces between the headlight pods and grille from scratch, chromed by Spacecoast Plating.

This is the coolest mild custom 59 Impala I've ever seen.

Born Free 4, Satellite Wheels

Hallcraft Satellites, I have a set of these wheels that I'm gonna use on my next build, if there ever is one, they need rechroming which isn't gonna be cheap. Last post from BF, y'all should go, once.

The Pike is a bar owned by some guy who was Social Distortion's drummer for 5 minutes, he has parlayed this momentary brush with fame into this money making monster where patrons are treated with contempt yet return for more.

1958 Rikuo Born Free 4

Remarkable 1958 Japanese 45 Rikuo built by license from HD. None of the parts look like they interchange with Harleys, at least superficially, but you can see the family link, the parts were definitely of inferior quality, very Japanese tin toyish but charming and beautifully designed. It belongs to Mooneyes, the pinstriping was done recently and it really suited this gem of a survivor.
