Title: Cadillac Parts Heaven!
Post by: jeremy9146 on February 19, 2012, 09:34:44 PM
Today I had the pleasure of finally being able to visit my friend Marc Tuwiner at his home and tour his Cadillac junkyard.  Having known Marc for several years now, he's always come to my shop to bring me cars and parts that I've purchased from him.  Having owned several Caddies from the fiftes and early sixtes over the years, I'm no stranger to collecting parts for projects and searching old junkyards that are off the beaten path for obscure, hard to find goodies.  Well my friends, Marc has the most impressive collection of 50's and early 60's Eldo and convertible parts anywhere.  The piles and piles of rare Eldo specific stainless trim and Convertible trim is mind blowing!  His inventory of convertible specific parts is second to none!  Rows of convertible top frames among the 50's eldorados for parts is a sight to behold!  I'm currently restoring a 55 Eldo and gathered some parts for it today from Marc.  Marc is currently finishing up a 56 Biarritz to run at Mecum in May in Indianapolis.  If you're in need of parts give Marc a call at 301-672-1000.  If you can make the trip to Maryland his parts collection is a MUST see!

Hi Jeremy,

I wish he had let you post some photos of his yard.  Being as my Caddy is a 1948, I wish there was another way to save these places on the site for future use and future cars.

Thank you Richard
