new toy

[kshearsedriver]

My wife got me a '62 S&S Park Row for father's day. It was delivered a week and a half ago. It needs some love but I love the early 60's cads. Here's how she looked when she was dropped off.

Here's how she looks now It was getting dark so I was in a hurry while doing the striping. It will be redone pretty soon.

Damn that's a lot of progress in a short time

Nice! Your backyard looks a LOT like mine!

[kshearsedriver]

Yeah with my coaches and a couple of Amber's in the yard and field I have a grand total of 9 coaches at hearse haven right now. And at the moment NONE of them are road worthy I was hoping the '62 would be a quick (and inexpensive) job to get on the road. It does run, I've driven it around the house. However it needs major brake work and there are a couple of coolant leaks that need to be remedied before she is driven very far.

i think you should post a pic of all 9 lined up.

[kshearsedriver]

Here's all of mine lined up except for the 68 poncho which is not movable at this time. I'm working on getting Amber's two coaches in a spot together as well. Starting closest first we have the newest addition the '78 Cad M&M (soon to be the new family car), then the '62 Cad S&S, a '58 Chrysler National, the '56 Chevy National, my first coach a '68 Olds C/B, next is the '50 Cad Superior, then the "64 Buick Flxible. The one off all by her lonesome is my "68 Pontiac Superior, who is getting a new front frame assembly. Amber has her '65 Pontiac Superior and '82 Cad S&S out in the field as well, but I don't have them moved yet.
