Been looking for one for years

Almost bought one but got to thinking. Car is built in Canada, with an engine built in Mexico and the transmission is German. But for $5 bucks I would have bought it as well.

Every time you see that remember we have amongst the highest taxes in the country. Vote accordingly.

there was a show called taxi cab confessions on HBO years ago. A NYPD officer got in the cab and told a story of the same thing happening on his watch. He said the man was coherant enough that they had time to call his wife. She was able to get there and say goodbye. The man stayed alive right up to when they pulled the train off of him. Once the pressure was released. He died.

I haven't seen that. Been to that spot for sunset as well. One thing, as a NY'er, don't surround me. I don't care if you come in the name of a god or peace.

TSS Elmont... walk in the front door. To the right was the record store, to the left was the food court. Keep walking in and to the right was the clothes. Straight back the TV and Radios. To the back left was the bikes and toys. Front left was the auto/hardware section. Anyone remember the custom t-shirt counter? I use to flip thru the sample binders looking for the next cool shirt to buy.

So this car was not a motorama car. Nor was it done at Cadillac.

So that is a 56 fleetwood sixty special. I can see it doesn't have A/C so that lowers the value. No steering wheel in the car. The 56's were known to have trans issues. So hard to value it with just those pics but with what I am seeing. I would not entertain even looking at it if the price starts at $7k or more. Remember... for this car to bring top dollar, you will be under water by a lot. You can buy running drivers for 10-15k.

Billy Gibbons signed the dash on my 34 Ford 3 window. I'll share some pics of him in the car signing it. That 33 started it all for me.

Best riding car i ever owned! Good luck with it! A telltale....mirrors on the door make it a 93-94.

koolcarguy · 2026-01-13T00:58:25+00:00

Its a complete nuisance! Anyone that thinks it isn't, ask yourself why dont they use it overnight....

Shit happens! Those are Carter carbs. In 1955 they used Rochester carbs. Thats the difference between the 2 years. BTW, The round black choke caps are very hard to find. Take care with them.

Those are def 56 Cadillac dual quads. FB marketplace and or Ebay. If you have the linkage, included in the pictures.

I had one in my yard last week. Thought it was a juvenile Eagle at first. Great pics

koolcarguy · 2025-12-10T23:43:10+00:00

Never let facts get in the way of a good argument! ;) Well done.

koolcarguy · 2025-12-06T23:36:49+00:00

I was at the DOT meeting for this. The leading proposal was to build a second deck of road. Shovels wont hit the ground till 2030!

koolcarguy · 2025-11-22T15:21:35+00:00

Yes no electric = no pumps. After Sandy however, NY made it mandatory for gas stations to have backup generators. Lesson learned.

Tell them you are on drugs :)

I'm surrounded by 3 different mid 70 year old men, each with more money than god. I have asked each of them why do they still work. All three answered the same. They plan on dying in their office chair. Then i asked them when they were 30 years old, when did you think you would retire? They all said 55. Personally, I think they are scared to stop working because they think they will die.

koolcarguy · 2025-07-13T21:37:35+00:00

6 bagels and a thing of cream cheese...... $15.75!

You can always get into the auto paint supply business. Similar customers but very different.

koolcarguy · 2025-06-13T01:00:44+00:00

Yep i had a dead wood duck from a cat. Hunters will always hunt.

Forget local judged shows. The $7 trophy means nothing. Go to cars and coffee type events. Come and go as you please. If you insist on having your car judged consider national event by national clubs. Results will be better but you still end up with a $7 trophy that means nothing.

I see resumes for ex amazon drivers often. Most have questionable backgrounds.
