My old man bought used Cadillacs down in Florida after he retired. Would drive them for a year or two and then drive north where he would sell them. I loved driving them when I was in town. He had numerous Coupe de’Villes over the years.
That Mirage is pretty cool I think. Maybe ugly - but still pretty cool. I see one could still buy one for $50 to $60k.
The owner's father, who used to ne the owner I believe is named Bobby.
On one of the episodes, he thought one of the cars in the yard was a Cadillac Mirage, but it was really a flower car (an open hearse or it was a conversion done by somebody else but it was a good conversion).
Which apparently the Mirage is now very pricy car that is highly sought after. To make a long story short his son did not want to fool with it, but he let Bobby run with overseeing the project that turned it into a rat rod type of vehicle, and it maid a nice contribution to the junkyard's bottom line.
I like it. Never saw one before.
In that timeframe we used to take those big new caddys out too and joyride the crap out of them. 501 cu baby
