Absolutely made my day seeing this driving around in 21st century traffic. Credit to you for keeping such an incredible machine and driving it where people can appreciate it!
I briefly owned a 1960 Cadillac 4 door flattop in 1984. It didn't look bad but it did not run well. But if it could talk, it would probably thank me for having some things fixed up on it, and waiting awhile to sell it to a collector intent on restoring it, rather than junk it when the transmission started grinding in reverse.@@50YearOldTeenager
Interior looks to be in fantastic shape. When I was in England in early 1999, I was impressed to see an early 70s Lincoln Town Car parked in someone’s driveway, haha
A powder blue 59 or 60 2 dr Cadillac has been sat static on the driveway of a house just near Sutton Grammar School, Sutton Surrey, for 15 years. Never been moved just looked at it yesterday it looks solid!
There is a powder blue one been sat in the drive of a house near Sutton Grammar School, Sutton Surrey, for 15 years! I walked past it yesterday in quite good condition I need to make an offer on it!
Hello I also live in the UK and I have been thinking about importing a 1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible for years and using it maybe more often than a weekend car. However, I have never owned a classic car or worked on a car more than replacing an air filter. I have a few questions about owning one and I'll put them in a list Do you frequently run into issues with speed bumps regarding the ground clearance and wheelbase and if so, is it difficult to navigate the issue? How difficult is it to park in a regular car park that would be at a shop or workplace? How do you stop it from rusting? I'm not sure if you have a garage big enough for it but I'd have to keep it outside under a sheet on a driveway 1 inch shorter than the car. Is it expensive to buy and ship parts and do you have to do it often? The model I'm looking at has issues with the timing chain and cover wearing down quickly Is the cost of petrol and I'm assuming lead substitute a lot more extortionate than the cost of running, taxing and MOTing a modern car?
Fuel prices have always hurt but at the moment it is particularly painful. But at least I don't have the worry of expensive servicing costs to worry about and can do most of the work myself. Though of course I don't know how long we can sustain the steady rise in fuel prices. Almost £2.50/ litre in some London fuel stations apparently.
Not at all, the only inconvenience is the Drive Thru or parking barriers. But you just throw her into park and scoot across if you don’t have a passenger.
Driving this old school American Car in a modern day parking lot in Europe. It's like driving a freaking truck. A REAL truck. Not the tiny Eurotoy trucks.
It's actually not that bad till you try parking in a big city like London or Paris. Parking is so tight that you need to plan ahead otherwise no bigger than a long wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter. But there's nothing quite like catching your reflection in store windows... 😊

So cool that you daily this classic.
You'll never lose it in a parking lot!
That’s for sure, I could never find my TR4!
todays parking lots are`nt made for a car that size
I had always wanted a 1959 model Cadillac until I saw a 1960, such a gorgeous shape I eventually bought a flat top version.
1960 is the year Cadillacs began seeing the toned down styling of Bill Mitchell
Love a flattop
Well done. Moving to Ireland next year and bringing my pristine 1996 Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon with me. It WILL be an experience.
Nice to see one of these in the UK, one day I hope to buy 1959 model.
The 59 most people like but I personally think the 1960, especially the flat top is a much better looking car.

Nice video!, i love the little Elvis :P
Thanks, no room for my hula girl due to the Autronic eye so I went with Elvis instead....🙂
"Thank you very much" ** karate chop**
I love the turning lights on the fenders !

In the late 90s I looked at one for sale In Wallington, Surrey. It was only going for £1200 still kicking myself!
Nice music selection.. Dionne Warwick 😊
Saw one on the roads the other day, Beautiful old cars!

Drives so smooth! My dream to own a big ol yank tank someday soon

My dream 💭
So nice to see it running so smoothly. How do uk insurance companies view such a vehicle, and how do you get spare parts?
Being a classic it’s cheap to insure. About £120 a year unlimited mileage. Service parts 3 days from Rockauto, other parts from specialists and eBay..
@@oldcarsnstuffA pleasant surprise. I'd imagined a large premium as well as parts difficulties when owning an American classic.
@@tommyboo21 pre internet days were hard, but the internet makes parts and technical support infinitely easier.
綺麗なキャデラックですね！
マフラーの音も良いです♪
Thank you.

Surprised to see this is in the UK, the fuel prices must be taking toll.

@@oldcarsnstuff Also tax/mot/congestion charge exempt!
How do they even get these big boats across the pond?, was there cadillac factories in Britain?
How tricky is it to drive on uk roads? Do you find LHD a pain?

Beautiful car! But I would say, this is not a POV drive, more of a DDCVFT, or even a MMKO !!! LOL
When I see POV in the title of anything that is not using a head mounted camera I select do not recommend.

@@oldcarsnstuff Makes a 16 ft 11 Mk10 JAG look like a fisher price toy lol
please get rid of the tacky Elvis doll
These cars look ridiculous in flesh. Especially on European roads
You're the first to say that, most people think they look amazing.
@@oldcarsnstuff Looks amazing to me!
