I resized Bruce's 6 pictures of Bob's '41 Cadillac to a size that fits our format. Does anyone want them posted in this new smaller size? If so, I will post them. the first two are attached in the smaller size and I can post the others if anyone has interest.

Sorry about the large size, but I like things big.

Actually, I couldn't post the ones that were sent to me because they were up in the 700 KB sizes. I thought I reduced them enough.

Bruce.

Hi Bruce - Usually it is best to reduce pictures to under 100 KB to fit this forum. I was glad that you posted, as saved them on my hard drive, then reduced accordingly. Beautiful pictures. Here are two more in reduced size.

Here are the last two pictures reduced to fit. Thanks to Bob and Bruce for getting these pictures on the forum.

Thanks Bruce,

I just got up and I still have a headache.

We should let Bob tell about his car but here are a few facts:

Modern F/E, 500 motor, T-400, 70 Cad posi rear end, power windows, AC

Roof is chopped 2" and the windshield is laid back 16 degrees

The side shot above really shows off the sexy lines of the car. Exceptionally nice car, Bob, as a Modified Chapter member I am jealous as are the others I am sure.

A big THANKS to everyone that posted my pictures & your nice comments. There was a number of people at the GN trying to figure out what was done to the car. Bob

The Tassie Devil(le) · July 05, 2009, 07:36:42 PM

And, did you tell them it was one of Harley Earl's early Skunk-works cars?

Bruce.

Bob Hoffmann CLC#96 · July 05, 2009, 08:02:54 PM

No, because I didn't have my little dog "Poopsii" with me. And I'm still haveing problems with the dash TV. LOL, Bob

35-709 · July 05, 2009, 10:11:36 PM

Yeah, those in-dash TV's were terribly unreliable back in '41!

Here are a few pics of the 59's, what a lineup. There were 11 or so 59's.

Vsixteen · July 08, 2009, 12:27:20 AM

Mine is the only one with the top up, I have just finished its ground up restoration and was very happy to place First in the Primary Division. Here are a few more shots.

Vsixteen · July 08, 2009, 12:29:10 AM

A couple more.

As fine a book as Maurice Hendry's 1973 edition of Cadillac Standard of the World The Complete Seventy-Five Year History is and as much as I have enjoyed it...

I got it some months ago. I was disappointed because most of the book is already in the other book "Cadillac, the complete history" OK, there are some more pictures but basically it's the same book.

In image 5848, what are the colors of those first three '59s? They seem to be variations of persian Sand, Mountain Laurel, and something else, similar. Any insight?
