If I had the room Id be all over this!
I have my copy of that magazine. I understand Vince. Anyone who is not infected with a life long Love affair with old Cadillac's just won't understand. God Bless Him
This interview is truly impressive... the owner's passion for maintaining and sustaining the car, his insights and careful study, his judgements regarding choices for rebuilding, his highly educated understanding of the intricacy of keeping the mechanical components in perfect order--- all of his insights are surely noteworthy. Beyond the car's value and record of maintenance, the other focus is on the joys and heavy obligation of sustaining "this work of art," and so there's his personal philosophy that he candidly provides us. Unlike a painting or piece of sculpture, the obligation ownership requires a great deal of personal commitment.
