That Caddy is sick.
You should rename this thread to "Waguns American Picker"

That would be elevating American Picker to the status of real finds, not scripted reality TV.
Having said that, that firetruck is sick. Gonna restore it to Army condition or as a firetruck?

Probably won't have too hard a time selling that vintage fire fighting gear to help fund the restoration

Don, those are really spectacular. Are you now the owner of these? Or are these just finds, and they're staying with the original owners?

I agree with the others about the Cadillac. What a tremendous find!

dang that Caddy takes me back, My 2nd car was a 61 Caddy I got from a guy I went to school with. Looking back it was surprising how advanced they were for a car from the early 60`s and the 390 GM made from 59-61 (I think that was the 3 years they made the 390) had power out the ass. Those are some cool finds
