The Fleetwood Coupe Brigade. Nice collection seems to be a tough problem. Here is what I would do. I would finish the blue 80, 83 coupe De-Ville and the 91 coupe De-Ville front wheel drive. When that is done make a choice.on if you you should keep the 80 and or the 85. Right now you have them both the choice can be made later. Hello all from Papa 🐻
I'm with Poppa Bear. I have an '07 Cadillac, low mileage, needed a headliner. In my town of 50K people, there was not a single body shop willing to do it. No body shop wants to paint a whole car because the cost would be exorbitant to remove all the trim and prep it, and they charge a fortune to re-spray a fender or quarter panel. So, if these kinds of things need to be done, you will have to travel to larger cities and take your chances.
If you have the wherewithal to do these things to prepare these gems for sale, there are many here who will pay for that TLC. Rescue the survivors that are worthy and we will buy.
Thanks, y'all are great!
Good afternoon Anthony say hi to papa bear I looked at your video about your your Cadillac definitely keep the blue one that's something that you've been chasing for a long time that's a beautiful baby and you've been one of the redwood or wine color or whatever and you've been wanting something like that why did I keep what you really have been wanting that is an awesome thing that you have going and get rid of your other ones that was you want to really get rid of anyway it looks nice keep on showing videos take care of your friend from California Ed hot water mixing area
Papa knows best. Hope all is well Papa/
Definitely finish the 80 and 83 Coupe! Get those to your standards. Get the 85 coupe up to par and you'll be able to make a more definitive decision. I'm also with Anthony and would want to keep them all! Lol
Papa bear. The spring coupe. Oh man. So special. You are a DTS guy. U like front wheel drives!
There's no question in my mind. Keep the 49k blue 1980 Fleetwood with the 368 cubic inch engine. Sell all the other coupes. The 4.1 engine isn't nearly as reliable. Put in fillers on the other Fleetwood and let Maaco paint it! That would be great video content!!!
The brown coupe you have up top. That is absolutely my favorite color combination that GM had in the 80’s. Still love it today.
I’d keep the sky blue nice one and dump the 4100 and the blue repainted one but it’s up to you. Also you could sell the one on the rack. I had an 85 biaritz and it developed the knock in the engine. Had the same astro roof too.
Gorgeous color on the 1985.
The 1980 is outright amazing. Great engine, de elegance and gorgeous color too. 1st world problems
Since you asked.....Give the option on the blue one that needs fillers.....fixed at this price or as is at that price, you'll know who to sell it to either way to ensure it goes to the right person.....and I really like the 4100 Cranberry Sunroof with leather and would so even more after you do all of your fixes to it.....and I'd probably like the one up on the rack in the brownish color, hope you get to show that one. Congrats on another fast sale on the Yard Sale Town Car....I was surprised since I didn't see it marked sold on your website earlier today like the van was. I figured it would be at that price.
Beautiful coupes Anthony. Given your connections and your clientele I’d restore the other Blue coupe and sell it as a completely dialed in car to someone who will appreciate and enjoy it.
Agreed. I think it would bring more profit even after the cost to fix the cosmetics on it. Ride the market wave while it lasts.
In the early 80s Anthony, I was an dishwasher . In an Italian restaurant. My boss had a 1979 Cadillac Seville , Burgundy and Gold.. my word plush creathian leather interior. The kinda thing Ricardo Montaban talked about.. boy the looks I'd get..I was 21 or 22..
You can't have too many coupes. I wish I had just 1. Grew up in them. Every family member had one in the '70s and 80's.
Great video about beautiful Cadillacs. I like the blue Cadillac you have a connection with. Whatever happened to the blue Fleetwood coupe that was supposed to be in the demo derby a few months ago thanks.
Polish up the other 80 Coupe. You always do such a great job cleaning them up and you know all the little things to fix. Someone will appreciate the work you'd put into it and it would be worth the premium price. I think if you sell it as is it won't get the treatment it deserves.
You have to keep the one from your childhood, you have an emotional attachment to that car, that’s what the hobby is all about. The others - sell them, you’re in business, make some money, and start someone else on their emotional trip with the cars.
Agreed.
Hi guys ! I wish I had those problems, these are my all time favorites and you have the best ones on the planet, love you guys
Thank you Joey it's always a problem to pick the one you want to take out for a ride, but a good problem. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
Anthony another great vid. On that second blue coupe, you would recoup your investment with repair and repaint…seems smart. Keep the best ones…just like I used to do with my pigeons!!
On the blue coupe, fix like you would do the rest of the cars. 1 because it's what you do, and it deserves it. To have a second chance in life. 2 your right, if you sell it as a project car. It may never get done or done right. I can tell by watching your videos. You take so much pride in these cars. And you get joy in doing what you do.. beautiful collection by the way. 👊🏽
Anthony, I'm with you I wouldn't risk sending out the blue coupe and it fall in the wrong hands. Put it back in great shape and command a price allowing you a reasonable profit. The buyer will be getting a better than new car for that price. Good luck!
What do you mean fall in the wrong hands
Not having space has never stopped you from acquiring more cars! 🤣
Your right there Michael. It becomes more of a problem when winter comes and they all have to be inside. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
I appreciate your honesty in showing the mishap as you could have just reshot the drive or edited that out. It’s true crap happens when dealing with old cars. Quite interestingly, I was viewer 17,777 of the video, which is quite a lucky number for such an unlucky video, lol.
Hey Anthony,
The Burgandy Coupe sounds like quite a catch, with all the options you'd want in a dream coupe... But the way you spoke about the ride you were having while in the Powder Blue Coupe was more emotional.
Yes a sunroof/ moonroof is amazing... I will concede that and would hate to lose that, but face it the blue coupe is just more beautiful, hands down.
I also personally cant stand leather seats, gimme those velour pillows any day of the week... (I miss that about cars these days).
I think we collect cars because of the way they make us feel when we're out on the road, not how well-optioned thy are. That's second.
Ask yourself if the experience of your drive trumps the flashiness of your model...
Best of Luck.. Keep both if you can. What does Papa Paulie say???
Hi Pal I put my 2 cents in the comment section also. Please go back and read it if you get a chance. But it is up to him he will make his own decision. Thanks for including me. Papa 🐻
Just depends on how BIG you want your collection to be.
Yeah, you had the right idea with the big block. Only. Only issue I've ever had with a 80s coupe is a 4.1 that puked once. I've owned 3. One was on hydraulics with and E&G sim/con full roof. The one that went, an olds 350 went in. You have great cars Anthony.
You mentioned the Goodyear Polysteel Radials - those tires came on two of my cars and they were the best radials I have ever had. They rode great and lasted almost 60K miles. When they wore out on the second car, I went to the Goodyear store to replace them and was told they were no longer made.
Wow! A superlative collection of Coupes indeed. I'd repair and sell the newly acquired '85 Cranberry mist, the 4k mile '83 w/ dark brown leather, along w/ the '91 White Spring Edition. I'd rehab the other '80 Blue Coupe and then I'd decide which of the 2 I'd keep. I would lean toward keeping the Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance. It's a truly special Cadillac and that's where your heart is. Be well and prosper!
Hi Anthony, As a life long GM lover, Cadillac fan , and Collector, I am truly enjoying, and understanding your ‘dilemma’…If I may put in my two cents,
I would freshen up, and safety the 1980 De Ville Coupe, and part with it
along with doing the same, with the 1980 brown Coupe…and Keep the
1980 De Elegance, along with this beautiful 1985 cranberry Coupe…
That gives you a rare, well documented 1980 big block Coupe, and the
low mileage 1985. This is just one Cadillac lovers opinion, and I must
admit, I would seriously enjoy owning your 1980 De Elegance, a rare,
and beautiful automobile. Take good care, and give my best to Papa Bear.
Hello Dennis. Papa 🐻
Great problems to have Anthony. Just bought a 97 Town Car, must have watched every one of your videos last 3 months or so. Can't wait to buy a Caddy from you. ( that crushed blue velour 🔥)
Wish I could help,but one thing for sure I'd.keep that Burgundy Coupe,its one of my favorite colors and I dig that sunroof. I'm sure you'll figure it out,good luck to you and my main man Poppa Bear!!!😄
Thank you Tyrone. Papa 🐻 and thumbs👍 up to you.
Thumbs up for the 8 track!
Hi Anthony and Papa! The light brown 4k mile deville is "Briar Brown"...a great color combo! I hope all is well!! Agreed that sadly, the 80 was the best powertain year... and yes, fix the blue coupe to your specifications... as I'm typing this, you mentioned my biggest fear of it falling into the wrong hands and then it's gone for ever...
Hi Chris thank you Papa 🐻 & Anthony
Hi Anthony and papa bear I love this channel Keep up the good work
Thank you Brandon. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
Great content as usual, I learn a lot about these beautiful cars from watching your videos
Anthony, every time I watch you and Papa Bear it's always awesome. I wish I had the money to get a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance in midnight blue with the astro roof and the Cadillac real wire wheels or a 1985 Buick Riviera in black cherry. Y'all are awesome.
Thank you Shawn glad to have you with us😊. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *GREAT to see such an extensive update* !! *LOVE both blue Cadillac coupe cars* !! *The dark red Cadillac is gorgeous* !! *FAB job Papa Bear and Anthony* !! #AnthonyGozzo 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Thank you Susan. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
This why they say don’t get the Cadillac with the 4100 in it…but it’s beautiful
I have an 84 Fleetwood Brougham with 73k miles, supposedly garage-kept, happy with the Cadillac, it floats on the road. You have a nice collection of Cadillacs. I have the 4.1L, get ready for coolant leaks!! I seem to be finding a lot of sealing and gasket issues.
I would keep that 368ci 80' blue one you just bought for sure -you would be insane to sell that -ever. That other 80' you should actually keep too and restore on your spare time as you go -it perfectly compliment the other one from a collection standpoint. Sell the rest -cleaning them up as best you can for presentation like you did the 95 Town car. Even if they need work someone will be happy to do it and add them to their own collection. My 2 cent Anthony -hell of a collection -thanks for sharing!!
Love the keeper and by the way, it is a Caddy. They do break. My mother only "drove" Caddys. That is why she kept a spare backup car, because you know driving Caddies require backups. Her backups were always Buick Park Avenues, which I have her last 1992 to this day as my backup. LOL!
Great cars . I had an 88 coup de ville similar in color to the cranberry mist. Ut was called mauve foremost. W/ factory moonroof. Beautiful car. Your collection is impeccable. And I'm sure you'll do well on your sale...... Trying to find a 77-78 coup d elegance. I tune in hoping to see it on your channel
LoL keep up the fantastic work with your collection. Till next time friend .👍
I would sell both blue coupes, and keep the red one (I love the claret leather interior and the factory moonroof). Only you know whether painting the blue coupe makes sense financially (I know you want to avoid it going on to be a parts car). If you did, would you get your money back? I doubt it. That said, it looks like just the roof needs paint, but maybe the whole car needs it. The brown coupe doesn't do anything for me, so I would sell that one to make some room. Really enjoy your channel. As the owner of two late model Cadillacs, I like your focus on the late 1970-early 1990 era, which are cars I admired when they were new. I'd like to buy an 1985 Eldorado Touring Coupe one day, always thought those were super sharp.
Keep the 4100? No way!
If your insurance will allow, I'd park the blue [in need of paint] unit outside with an appropriate car cover, fix the fire mist/plum unit's fuel pump and fender fillers and sell her A.S.A.P. for good money--thus, keep the big block [15 year absent] edition for your own use--you know you love that 350 Anthony. And remember guys, I'm available as a babysitter for one of 'em should you get even more of them in. Godspeed to U & PapaB!
Hello Andrew we will keep that babysitting just for you when needed. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
Hi Anthony Gozzo. I watch and like your videos. I enjoy all the content and the work you and your team put into your business and collection. Best always!! I have owned many older big Caddys. I am interested in the next yard as is sale. When is that coming? Thank you. Rock :)
HI Anthony....Papa Bear to the rescue!! I say Give him a raise..😁 Years ago, I used to have a collection of Lincolns, Cadillacs, pickups and.......vintage, mint RVs (rare slide in truck campers, trailers, motorhomes) mostly from the 70's and 80's. I know, sounds odd right? I worked my fingers to the bone on those to keep them all original and mint. They were gorgeous and rare but I finally had to downsize. I ran out of space, I ran out of time, I got older and ran out of energy, plus there is a cost. I loved those vehicles but it also started to stress me out as I felt like I wasn't giving them the time and attention that they require, even if mint. It kind of got out of hand. I eventually sold most of them but kept couple of prizes that I just couldn't part with. Believe it or not, even though I have days that I wish I kept some more of them, it actually ended up being a big relief as I didn't feel so overwhelmed. Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm totally OCD about the vehicles so I spend an inordinate amount of time on them. If I were you, I'd try and sell the light blue Fleetwood coupe as a project, it will provide some space and stress. Sell it privately to someone you know that will give it the attention that it deserves. Once. I sold a beautiful mint, original Lincoln VII LSC to a person that I didn't have a good feeling about and he ended up abusing and neglecting it. It haunts me to this day and I vowed...never again. I will only sell them to someone that will cherish them....I interview them. If I were you, I would maybe sell the '83 Coupe Deville and then decide which Fleetwood Coupe you want to keep. I'm thinking you might want to keep the last year sold, '85. It sounds like it has everything you would ever want. One of these days, I am going to buy a Cadillac from you....I'm just waiting for the absolute right one to come along. I still have 1 or 2 Cadillacs that I would like to collect. Good luck and as always, thanks for sharing!I
Hello Terry here I am to save the day LOL. Papa 🐻
There is nothing like a coupe with a ASTRO roof it just warms my heart 🥰
Dad I think you should tell Anthony this one’s for you
Thank you Pal, he has to many to choose one but I will. Papa 🐻
I like the way you show reality of old cars as shit happens no matter how good she looks..thanks for sharing
A freind of mine who's a big Cadillac man looked for a triple black tri-7 coupe for years. He finally found a 77, black with a red interior, 22000 miles, original owner. After he detailed it out, it's showroom new. Couple years later he finds another 77 with 10,000 miles, absolutely flawless, exact same color combo but with fuel injection. Now he has two!
BTW Anthony, been looking at that Lincoln Towncar on the website since you posted it wondering why no one has bought it. Discussed buying it with the wife. You say in this video that it sold within hours of being posted. Would like to see at least a simple SOLD on the video you posted or the website so hours/days aren't wasted trying to position to buy it. Looking forward to the yard sale cars being announced! Thanks for the opportunities to fix one up.
I want to see the 4k mi time capsule, it is mind boggling to ponder anyone buying a new Caddy and putting it in storage. But how wonderful that they did. Sorry no more HT4100's for me ever! Have you ever had or almost had an '81 8-6-4? I could almost go for one of those. I was 23 when my '84 Eldorado engine blew up on the freeway... $5k I didn't have to replace that, I was truly heartbroken to find out what GM had done. Flaws and all what an incredible collection you have - I hope you keep each one!
When u are a collector it's to decide what to keep and sell I would sell a few cars so u have more room idk how big the shop is it looks pretty full right now
Love the cranberry coupe regardless of the 4100 engine I keep that one and the 80 big block coupe and sell the other blue 1980 and I really like your vintage caddy collection
The only Cadillacs that I've yet had have been a 1977 Sedan De Ville, which was my daily driver 2006-2008, and a 1986 Fleetwood Brougham sedan that I had from 2019-2021. I dearly loved both, especially the 1977. I'd love to have another, but I've never had a coupe, of ANY make, be it Cadillac or otherwise, and I'd surely like to one day own one. I mean, sedans, trucks and station wagons are all I've ever had yet. It would be cool to finally have a completely different type of vehicle. I hope I am able to get one one day. Anyway, these were all truly lovely cars, even the FWD coupe.
Also check the fuse under the dash for the fuel pump before you pull it all apart. Got stranded just like that on my new to me 83 Fleet around the corner from my house years ago. Waited 3 hrs for a tow…. Found the popped fuse and felt goofy. New fuse and no issues.
Hi Anthony. Definitely keep the one you wanted all those years ago- plus it has the d’Elegance package and the 368 V8. Refurbish the other 80- fillers, tires paint etc and sell that one! Keep the Cranberry 85 - she is Beautiful! Big hello to Pappa Bear too!!
Keep them both. If you must sell one, keep the cranberry with the Astro roof and fewer miles.
Beautiful collection of Coupes. I personally love the 2 80 Brougham Coupes you have. (I owned one in late 90s) I'd leave the 80 as is and let one someone else fix it or leave it as is. You'll know who will take care of it or not. It's that 6th sense. Lol. That's how I got my 78 Coupe. They knew I would and I have. The 85 is beautiful. Never seen that color before. Anyhow, hope you read my comment and reply, I have a lil issue with my 78, the door key buzzer reminder doesn't work. I checked everything related and all is good. Leads me to suspect inside the column. Another, it doesn't have illuminated entry system, unless it does and is inoperable? And I replaced the fuel pump again cause it started making a tapping sound loud enough to think it was the lifters but it's not. It's not as audible no more but never heard of that before. Well thansk for reading my comment. Keep them vids coming.
Just lost my mom last year and inherited an 86 brougham. Any videos about this car are appreciated 😎
Also I need to redo my headliner. How do I take the rear window trim off without breaking the clips? Or do you know where I can buy new clips Incase they do break
My grandpa owned a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance (4-door) that was that same maroon red (or at least it looked very similar in color to what you have there). It didn't have leather interior nor did it have a sunroof, but it was a very nice, smooth riding car. He wound up selling it to my uncle who lived in the Miami area & it ultimately got stolen & stripped, unfortunately.
Anthony, you should keep the 80 blue childhood memory; you’ll regret it forever afterwards if you don’t. I agree that an HT4100 shouldn’t scare anyone. All of those 4100 cars are reliable if you don’t overheat them, and don’t try to run them hard. They’re more for soft, comfortable cruising on short day trips or less. My father and I both owned 4100s and babied them and they treated us well. I’d keep the Cranberry Firemist 85 as well, it’s a beautiful low mile example of a beautiful 80’s Cadillac. All those others on the rack and elsewhere, should be brought back to their original glory and sold to pay for the losses you’re taking on all of the collection acquisitions.
Would like you to locate me a couple specific special cars from my past too if you could.
Well, even if you drive it easy and never overheat it, the cams are soft and the engine blocks are porous. You need to change the coolant EVERY year and use the coolant pellets to keep the pores in the block sealed so coolant doesn’t seep into the oil. The castings on the early 4100s are all pretty suspect and it’s only a matter of time before something goes wrong, no matter how you baby it.
@@joe6096 We didn’t have any trouble with ours…an 85 Eldorado Biarritz, and an 85 Seville. We had them both into the 120,000 mile range before trading them in on new ones; no major issues like you’re describing.
@@MM-fq3ys You probably had the finned valve cover versions. By ‘85 GM had started fixing the casting and cam issues after replacing most of the 1982-early 85 engines under warranty, many before 60,000 miles. The ones with the smooth valve covers that say “HT4100” on the passenger side and “V8” on the drivers side on a chrome strip are the really bad ones to stay away from or treat with kid gloves. About March of 1985 they started installing the improved engines at the factory, and those have finned valve covers with no engine designation on them.
4100 is junk even when babied and not overheated.
The only suggestion I can make for your dilemma, is to open up a museum where the best of the old big Cadillacs can be stored. It would need to be in a position where it would appeal to tourists to visit and have a look round to see these big cars. Then to make it into an all day experience you would need coffee shops and rest rooms.
Anthony, love the Coupes! Please swap for period correct spokes on the perfect 80 Azure.
Also- more lifts along the back wall. That will help.
That working factory sunroof makes the car. I love it.
Beautiful cars! Anthony, its a no brain-er, YOU need to fix up the blue coupe so its done right! I'm sure you will get your return on investment. Love the "pink" coupe 😁
Nice 85 coupe...i have the same color combo but a few small twists...mines a 80 coupe devile delegance w a roof but with crushed volour...nice...keep it
Anthony! I’ve been texting you about that 1980 Cadillac 2 door for a while! Called also! You never got back to me! Make the 1980 drivable and mechanically sound! Don’t worry about the paint! Sell it!
Been watching your videos for sometime now & im surprised that I haven’t seen any caddys with a continental kit
I spy a beautiful burgundy unit with gold kit up in the rafters! 🥰
The 85 Cranberry would be stunning with Cadillac wires and a set of Vogues.
I LOVE sunroofs Anthony but this is a no brainer IMO- keep the big block dump the ‘85 🤙🏻
Agreed. I just said about the same thing! Dump the 85. Let it stall out on someone else. I bet that's a problem that's going to come back.
That interior in the ice blue coupe looks crazy comfy
That’s some Beautiful Cadillacs I would love to find a 1978 seville.. nice Collection I’m a subscriber now.
Brother you have the absolute 💯 percent nicest Cadillacs on the planet awesome job
I’d keep the 80 Blue Coupe myself if it’s good mechanically and really love the blue color on the Coupe. So maybe choice is based on the color. Plus I’m not a fan of sun roofs.
I will take any of them as a donation… I’m a big fan… You got a big heart ❤️ Help a begging bastard out.. lol 😂 You will be my car guy when ever I can afford one ☝️…
These are good problems! I would soooooo keep the '85 Fleetwood Coupe! As for the FWD Cadillacs, I have a soft spot for those FWD Cadillacs! Along with Big Momma, my '90 Brougham d' Elegance 5.7V8, and I have a '91 Fleetwood Coupe (Little Mamma!) With factory Astro Roof. I've had a few other fwd Cadillac Fleetwoods and Devilles. They are awesome cruisers, that get even better fuel economy when you ditch the Rochester fuel injectors for Bosch injectors! I agree if you don't repaint the blue Fleetwood coupe, it could very well not get the love it deserves.
That paint is awesome,the car is beautiful
The blue one is beautiful but that cranberry with the Astro roof and window sticker 😍😍 is a keeper
Keep the Blue 80 caddi because it's sentimental at this point, and it cleaned up VERY well!!! The cranberry Cadillac is nice, but if you have to choose.... Blue one edges it a little. As far as the other Blue cadi that needs the fillers, I would either use as a parts car for the one you are keeping or any 80 caddies you find, or sell it as is. You are in the selling business, shouldn't matter who's hands it gets into.
Sweet Anthony! Totally sweet.
One of the best Fleetwood brougham ever made,at least body and interior wise.
Anthony is really going to town with some nice cars Papa bear is a top mechanic no doubt about it 👍👍😀
Hey I have a question ,,I have a 1991 Cadillac brougham ,I was wondering if u could tell me where I can get another antenna for it
Hi Jalil talk to Anthony he rebuilds them but you have to have the original core. Papa 🐻
These are the ones I like... I'm sorry I like them more than the newer 1990 to 93 d'Elegance 's ... And I just love coupes.. and I'm from the 80s so... And there's something about the cars from the mid-70s to the mid-80s that I absolutely adore....
First like and comment for my dad
It’s very simple Anthony, keep them all and buy a bigger building LOL. All kidding aside,I really like the cranberry Caddy, it’s a keeper. The fixer upper that needs a paint job, would you get enough out of it if you did new paint and whatever else it might need........
I think you should bring that 1980 coupe back to life with a new paint job. You must have been storing it for a reason. Also, my garage here in Texas is always available to store one of your Cadillacs.
Hi Anthony! I think you should sell me the 1980 49k blue big block coupe!! Problem solved. Glad to help you out! 😂🤣. (Seriously - I really love that car.)
Beautiful Fleetwood Coupes.
The 85 is super nice…. But it doesn’t do me like the ‘80. Owning the big block in my Seville v8-6-4 form and having worked on them all, I really prefer the big block over 4100. Not that 4100’s scare me… I have owned 83-85 and you are correct, the big issues were corrected halfway through 1984. Back to my preference- there are physical details on the 80 and 81 cars that I absolutely appreciate over the 83-85 cars. The crushed velour is one of them. The D’Elegance seats in your 80 are wonderful. Again, the 85 is beautiful but I wouldn’t pick it over the 80.
Got a minty 85 eldorado biarritz with the 4100. Such a blast to cruise
Anthony: that cranberry colour is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Hands down!
Cheers
Ps never saw that colour before.
I would definitely Fix the one that needs paint and fillers because it's the right thing to do and it would break your heart ❤️ if you Saw it all tore up and neglected because you didn't do right by her. I love the white one she's beautiful, and the red 4100 gorgeous. Till next time my Friend's Good ole Pappa Bear 🐻 for the Save.
Thank you Robert. Papa 🐻
I resantly bought a 1985 caddillac Fleetwood coupe and I'm looking for the outside opra lights if your selling one I need on
Keep both! U work hard.
Has the rarest of all coupes eluded you like it has me? Im referring to the 1985 Fleetwood Brougham coupe in Medium Sage Metallic - of which only 54 were ever painted as such. Technically the Mary Kay pink '85 coupe is the rarest (1 of 1), but as far as I'm concerned is just a legend as I have never heard of anyone that actually laid eyes on it. I have seen one of the 54 medium sage coupes, however. Not in the flesh, but on a dealers website. I've been searching for nearly 20 years now. Maybe someday the dream will come true.
Say what you want but I still love the doorbell sounding door dingers in those cars!
Hi Anthony Hi Papa Bear, the Coupe that you have tucked away the blue one is the one I am waiting for you to do a video. Whew long thought. Honestly I would be happy if you did a long video series on how you fix the Coupe. Great Videos tell Papa Bear, Sarasota says Hi!!
Hello Sarasota how are you? All good here. Papa 🐻
@@paulgozzo9178 Doing well Papa Bear, just enjoying Florida hoping you and Anthony and the family are enjoying what’s left of the summer before the big freeze. Do you think that yourself and Anthony can make some videos on how the cars are prepared for sale. Also I think it’s funny when you speed up the filming. Great talking to you and Thank You 🙏
Keep the 368 80 for sure, the rest fix em and sell, tho that fire mist with crab berry interior is beautiful
Keep the red 85 but dump the 4100 engine and its plastic transmission. Drop a 350 engine and a turbo 400 transmission in it. Then you will have a Cadillac worthy of its name and be worth more money as well.
I have a 1992 brougham that was passed down to me. It's all original and is in great shape. I'm too old to do this car justice. Rather than sell it to anyone and have them put big tires on it with dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Can you point me to a direction to sell it ?
That's a Cadillac Dilema DeElegance? I never heard of that model. LOL!
Anthony, dump the spring addition, keep the others for your collection for now. Think it through. 🤔 I am glad I caught up with you guys.
