Vintage Cadillac

Question for the Pelican brain trust

Is there a company that sells vintage Cadillac parts.

It's for my contractor, he has an early 80's Cadillac. I'm not sure of the model.

Thanks in advance

Brian

I was hoping to see some late 50s early 60s Caddy porn...such a disappointment.

Junk man it is.

Craigslist could show some parts car candidates or cars to which his car could donate its organs. If you like your contractor, would you consider introducing him to some different decades (and/or makes)? His life would be better with a friend that could do that.

Hey, old bustle backs are sort of seeing a resurgence.... The old Hook and Tow 4100 is sort of problematic... but heck... gotta love that butt...



Oh - to get parts check out Cadillac King in So Cal for hard to find parts.... however, go to a junk yard first - they will be much cheaper.

How about just NAPA or Autozone? What parts is he looking for? Some dealer must sell parts at a discount online as well. That is an ordinary car.

It does not answer your question but the best looking Caddies were from the 40's and 50's. It seems to be starting in the 60's that the addition of fins etc to the Caddy just seemed to fin..nish it off badly.

Everyone used to like to joke about the assembly workers being drunk on the job in Detroit but let's talk about upper management...how much crack would you have to be smoking to think that this is the answer to the 1980s BMW E30 or Mercedes 190e??

Mountains and mountains of crack. Fukme running.

I really can't believe the CTS coupe's styling will withstand the test of time very well either. YMMV.
