I worked in a Texaco as a kid around 1955,every year it was fun to see where Caddy hid the gas filler.....That 1st shot of the tail light poking out of the garage reminded me of just that....Good read thanks

built back when cars were cars and each make / model was unique. not like today where everything looks like everything else.

man these pics bring back memories, not that my dad ever made enough to own a caddy (he was an olds guy through and through), but I remember these caddys drivin down the road when I was but a lad..

Vancouver is really wet. That garage looks damp. No way are those original.

When I was a child, I knew of every old car within a 20 mile radius, or so it seemed. I was obsessed. I can’t imagine how many people I annoyed by knocking on their door and asking them if the ‘52 Ford sedan with a limb crushing the roof was for sale, or if the ‘66 Nova was all original and how much he wanted for it.

About 5-6 years ago I was back in my home state...and drove around some of my old paths I used to cover on two wheels...just to see what the car situation was like. Still obsessed, obviously. Out of the literally hundreds I knew of, only a few where still there.

I could have been richer than Gates if my parents had listened to me when I told them to buy these 200 dollar running flathead Fords, or the 1200 dollar, all original, complete in every way with no rust, one owner 1970 1/2 Z/28 Camaro. Gold with black rally stripes.....beeeyoootiful, I swear I still have dreams about that car.

Nothing smells better than the interior of an old car.
