Yeay, a '59 Caddy IS pretty tough to beat in the Good Looks Dept.! I actually know where there is one for sale nearby; the interior is already restored, but it is in need of some paint. I can't find any rust-throughs on it, though, and that is very unusual for a car of this age. What worries me, though, is that the engine block may be cracked, since there is an awful lot of oil underneath it, indicating a MAJOR oil leak from the engine, and that is not a good thing! It could just be that all the gaskets and seals are shot, especially if they haven't been replaced, but the engine could surely use a re-build, in any case. Those things got lousy gas mileage, though-eight miles per gallon was typical, so I'll keep my Studebakers and pass on by the gas pump a bit more often! Even my Lark V-8 does a lot better than that on gas!
