Two old Cadillacs in a barn.

Went yesterday and checked out a local Craigslist ad for two old Cadillacs, a '58 and a '60. The ad said they hadn't been out of the barn in years so I expected some rough stuff but when I got there they were both up on wood blocks (over a gravel floor) and wrapped up in plastic. I didn't think to take any pictures until we had them uncovered...I was rather excited.





The '60 is the rougher of the two but only has surface rust.





The '58 is very solid and the paint is decent.











Both cars had the wheel covers wrapped in plastic in the trunk, the owner had also put Sta-bil in both cars and sprayed white grease on all the surface rust on the '60 before wrapping it up.



The '58 had this nice Tri-Power wrapped up in the box I found in the trunk.

4 door hardtops...ultimate cruisers. Who doesn't love old Caddys?

It's quite refreshing when someone actually takes thought into storing old cars for long periods of time!!!

Did you pick them up? Your post said you just went to check them out, but I see a car hauler

Wow very nice!

Thanks for nothing, TiredIron. Cadillacs and a tri-power in the trunk? Shoot me now, right now.

Yea, I got them...

Man.....what a find......

I like the 58.....the 4dr HT not so much but to each his own....nice score...

years ago my uncle had a 58 coupe deville with 2 4's and tittie pink in color.

Sounded like the beginning of a joke, their were two caddies in a barn!! lol
Nice find, any plans?

What a great find, you are very lucky to have found those in such great shape.

What are your plans for them???

I always like the style of the 60 Caddy better, but not the 4dr. I'd love to have that 58 as a 4dr though. Killer find.

I'll ask - how much?

I thought it was the beginning of a joke too
Very Nice TI

I got both of them running today and drove the '60...the brakes were up! I found a folder in the glove box that had all the receipts from where the engine and transmission were rebuilt and all the brakes gone through less than 3,000 miles ago.

It was really nice out there today, 104 degrees but only 100 in the garage.

That green one is making my hands tingle I want to know it like a blind man...

A few months ago a local guy was driving thru my neighborhood and stopped to chat when he saw
the Model A.
He was driving a '58 Caddy 4 dr hardtop that just about took my breath away.

Wow, those are awesome. I'll take one of them off your hands
