Your bog must look awsome! :-) That's nice to know, and your car certainly looks awesome, sir, a credit to you! I can't remember what the Dulux equivalent of the Chevy paint name is, I think it was "Soft Stone" or something pretentious. I'll refrain from any pics though, cos it's hung with Mazda promo art and pictures of Alic in Wonderland, (me and the kids got equal rights) so possibly not ideal in this context. Hope you're not offended by flippant comments like that, it's in no way intended to belittle the car or its presentation. After all, I made a point of including photos of it so I must respect it  |

The 55 Olds and 67 Galaxie vert belong to my mates, and the 58 Caddy belongs to a guy from Sutton who looks after my 55 Chevy. Caddy is lovely, very clean car, not an Eldo Biarritz as thats a convertible, there was an Eldo coupe available in 58 which has a different fin, bootlid, bumper and a vinyl top. I also have a 57 Cadillac convertible which i hope to have at the next American meet at Brooklands in early September |

Motorama, you have too many good toys  Glad you took the comments in the spirit they were intended, though. Of course the Biarritz was a convertible. Completely the worng years, too. I suck  . That'll teach me to Google stuff before writing, lol Mr Oxide, if you like the Imperial I can offer some more pics from when we last were up at Johns. It was a bit different weather then, poor ol' thing was covered in frost!   I like the way it looks almost identical going forwards as it does backwards  And how every panel has a bit of heritage crammed on in the form of a heraldic logo or bit of script    Still got its last American certificate of roadworthiness tax thing on the screen, too  |

That's a lot of car for the money, good job they aren't selling by the square inch That roof looks suspiciously new, mind you, and how the hell did they find an Arizona car with water damage to the interior? |
