I am looking for new resto project and would like to find a correct, 53 - 58 Caddy Convertible as complete as possible but in need of total restoration. Will pay cash or will consider trade/partial trade for a complete, restorable 38 Studebaker Coupe Express that I have lost interest in. I am in the NY/CT area but will travel for the right car anywhere in the U.S.
Dennis, I have a 1953 convertible which I purchased many years ago. It is very solid, but needs everything. The ID tag was missing from the door post when I purchased the car. The engine is sitting in the compartment, but I am not certain it is the correct one, or its condition. I doubt I will ever get to restore it, because I have other interests and am getting too old, too fast. I am in upstate NY (Utica) and can be reached only at my office (315) 724-8102, because my wife doesn't know i own the car. You may e-mail me at abelove@quadlink.net.
