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.

Very well put James. Would like to meet this guy. We would have a million things to talk about! Clay/Lexi
Its so nice to see theses Cars being well taken care of , To mark the works of Art and the craftmens of the America people and pride of ownership. Thank you for sharing! P.S. If I only had a bigger garage.Maybe (Hangar)
Agreed James sums it up. I don't care that it is a beautiful (which it is) 56 Seville, the part I like is that we have an owner that has maintained it AND ENJOYED IT for 22 years, and driven it, not a lot but it's not just sitting in a garage all the time.
Couldn't agree more Bryan. It was a real pleasure listening to this interview. Clay/Lexi
