1957 Cadillac Coupe de Ville 62 Series 59k

When I bought this car I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford a restoration just because since high school I've worked factory since with 1 job driving cab.  I just couldn't see or well bear to know it ended up in a junkyard like the 1956 Eldorado Seville with the vinyl top, gold sabre wheels, autronic eye, batwing air cleaner, & dual 4s that I found when I was 12 parked between a 1957 Chevrolet & 1960 Ford Starliner.  So since 1995 I've owned this car & its been in storage most of its life since with a few times on the road as I won 3rd Place with the help of some classmates from high school & my Uncle now has passed due to complications of Diabetes & smoking.  He passed away in 2008 along with another Uncle who I didn't know was in the US Navy at one time.  3rd Place was at UW-Stout Auto Show in 2009 1955-1960 Stock Class, since then its been parked.  With rising prices especially the forecast for this year I don't see it on the road, unless something like $2/gal or less appear.  The carb(AA), gas lines(AA), brake lines(DN), master cylinder(LC), wheel bearings(AA), tires(MT), brakes front/back(DN), bleeding brakes(WCB), battery(MT) more or less a lot of help from my friends & my Uncle used to drive 4hrs to visit with his sister(my Mom)& help me out with my car.  Since owning 57 I've worked in manufacturing with one job of 11yrs in the computer industry, since the layoff in 2009 I can't count how many jobs I've had since & now that I'm working again I don't have a garage to do any other work to it as it needs a brake booster, fuel pump, water pump, shifter knob, just trying to keep it on the road.  Any suggestions any help greatly appreciated.  The previous owner had it parked next to the following in a barn:
