Well ( usually a deep subject ), my 1968 Cadillac has finally reached the conclusion of a year and a half odyssey of restoration. A few small things left but for the most part a big sigh of relief. Below are a couple shots early in the process and then the rest are from yesterday. Today at 4 pm. my first show in downtown park in Winterhaven Florida.
Age 69, Living in Gods waiting room ( Florida ) Owned over 40 Old Cadillac's from 1955's to 1990 Brougham's. Currently own a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible and a 1992 Cadillac 5.7 Brougham.

A dramatic and extraordinary restoration, and thank you for presenting the before and after pictures Bill.  Much appreciated, especially since you'll inspire others.  James
