I've seen all the cars that guy sells on ebay and this one was one of my favorites.

Nice choice really nice choice. Maybe i'll see it at Woodward this year ???

GM bubbles, it just does not get any better that that. No matter what make, I just love them. I would love to find a 62 myself, that would be the next project if I find one. Gotta love them big roomy cars, especially big boys like me. Cool ride, very cool. :thumbsup:

That looks awesome! I would love to see what the HUD looks like when its on.

I love the old technology that some of these cars had, i couldnt beleive that some old caddys (60s era?) used to have a auto-dimming sensor mounted on the dash.
I love seeing the innovations that they had back then

I don't care for it. What the hell were you thinking Trush? :D



Seriously though...a terrific choice Jeff. You gotta love the lines on that car. You almost have to imagine what it took to bring a car like that to fruition back then. Unlike today, they used aluminum plates with the surface information cut in to do the surface on those cars. The draftsman would actually hand scribe the flow lines on giant plates of aluminum. My Dad used to do a lot of that work. When I think of how we did surface work back then as opposed to today where it's all 3D math and CNC movement...it just amazes me. What you see there is a lot of man hours on the drawing board to bring those curves to life. It was almost a labor of love rather than ones job. A great era in automotive history.

I'll stop by at Woodward to check her out and say hello to the two out-of-town guests.

Great car Jeff. Just a great car. :thumbsup:
