'57 Caddy...

This was at a small local eatery. '57 Caddy. Not perfect but damn nice and huge. Had Kansas plates on it. Was told the owner has 18 cars stashed here and drives them all. Does two big shows a year, one here and one at some casino somewhere. Also has an interior and painter employed full time. He buys about 1 car to restore each quarter. I guess he is the quiet type as he does not talk much about the cars. Just restores and drives them, selling one now and then.

:amaz i have a big soft spot for these Peter great looking cars, you hardly see anything like that here in Australia maybe once a month you will spot one out and about but thats it
 
that is so cool! Such a beauty! Sounds kind of like a mini Clive Cussler museum however, Mr. Cusslers Museum located in Nevada is fairly large, and he too employs paint/body/mechanics, but no one probably has a shop like Jay Leno :10

I'd venture to guess Ron Pratte's collection is pretty damn impressive, the coin that dude blows at the BJ auctions (pun not intended) is staggering, couple recent acquisition's....
