So I got the car all cleaned up today, got rid of that pesky leak on my tranny kickdown cable i've been battling, and took it out for a pretty long cruise. Brought the kid to get ice cream, and while we were indulging in waffle cones filled with our favorite ice cream I noticed she was shining pretty good, so I grabbed some pics. Thought I would share them with everyone, she's running strong too!!

Let me know what u guys think!!!

 

The car looks great! I really like the '65! Sounds like a great day!

 

Beautiful Cutlass you have there. I just love the drop tops! Cheers

I think you should drive it up here and leave it with me for the summer so I can take it to all the local car shows. Hey, I'll even fly you up in the fall when you'll want to put it back in the garage for the winter ...

Seriously, you have one absolutely gorgeous car. What color is that? I don't think I've seen it before. And your bodywork would have to be perfect or any blems would show. Again, GREAT looking car!

 

Wow, that's a beaut! I bet she turns lot of heads and you get lots of thumbs up!

 

So why was the top up, haw haw?! I had my 67 out myself today (no pics today, though), but you can bet the top was down. If it was warm enough for ice cream, surely it was warm enough for a top down cruise?!

 

Thanks guys!!! The color is called "Light Sapphire Metallic Blue". I Actually took the paint code from my grandfathers 92 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. He gave me this cutlass when I was 15. And he always said this cutlass was his favorite car out of others all he had owned, but the color scheme on his caddy was also a favorite of his. So when I did the body work and color change, I painted it with the factory Cadillac paint code off his coupe deville. I got a friend of mine to do the body work, took about a year from start to finish, but was worth the wait. All the jams are done, with brand new weather stripping. Also had to replace to floor pans and trunk pan.

 

And the breeze made it a little chilly today in Massachusetts for the top to be down. Plus I like to show off the brand new convertible top, and I almost like how it looks with the top up compared to top down. But don't worry, it comes down plenty:-)

 

She's very beautiful!! Great pics!

 

The car and color look great,very nice! Black interior?

 

Yes, black interior....if you check out my garage in my profile, u can see the interior.

 

Nice,I dig the buckets and the wood rim wheel.

 

Your car looks GREAT.
I had a similar one in '09. Not nearly as nice as yours, it had its original paint.

 

Beautiful car!

 

Very nice! Kinda partial to 65 verts myself.

 

Looks good neighbor.

 

Very nice looking - shiny she is!
I was wondering why the top was up myself, but forgot you are up north. We are in the mid 90s now (and low 70s at night)...

 

Great looking car nice pictures

 

Very nice!

 

Sweet, we still don't have cruising weather yet, so I am a little jealous

 

thanks again guys....this car is a product of a lot of hard work, part searching, and penny saving!!! alot of people never thought this car would run again when it was stripped down to the body and my bedroom was full of parts all over the place. so i hold a sense of pride when i get to show it off:-) i put the new tranny in it last year, and man will this thing lay down some rubber!! and it's chirping second on demand without a problem. i'm very happy with it!!!

 

Rob, were you watching the Star Wars marathon on the weekend?

 

I was wondering too. But to us 'northern' guys, anything above freezing is tops down weather. Heck it's even biking weather.

BTW, what is 'mid 90's' and 'low 70s'? I can only speculate that you're finally catching up with the times . During the day you're living about 15 years in the past, and at night - ooh la la - you're living the dream of 1972????

 

Love that color!

 

I had to work today, in Boston and south of Boston it seemed like it was on the verge of rain all day.
