Beautiful restoration work. I got to ride in a '60 and a '63 several times in the early 70's and fell in love with them. The 1957-67 Cadi's were my favorite, but more narrowly the beautiful 1959-63's with fins. The royal blue with white top is a nice looking color combo. All the best to you, and enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
I owned a '65 Sedan De Ville with white vinyl hardtop. One of the smoothest rides ever, along with my '67 Ford Galaxie 500. Tom McCahill's 60's road tests rated them and the '65 Rolls-Royce as the smoothest rides he ever tested. I came within a gnat's whisker of buying a clean, rust-free original black convertible white cream top and burgundy interior for $1,200 in Spring of '83, but opted out due to the convertible's potential future issues and upkeep. That one looked similar to the George Barris custom 'Batmobile' with it's top down.
My 5,200 lb. '65 Cadillac would top out at 142 mph. tests (felt like floating on a cloud at only 70 mph.) on 94-103 octane, a full 26 gal. tank, fully loaded trunk luggage, two 170 lb. passengers in 75F, no wind, clean & waxed, low humidity on a flat stretch. Best automobile I ever owned (aside from Toyota Camry's and Corolla's)! My '65 Cadi blessed me with a consistent 13-15 mpg. city and 19-20 hwy. It had a 429 ci., 340 hp., 10.5:1 compression ratio, and ran strong, smooth and trouble-free for 15 years as a daily driver from 1979-94 (when I finally sold it). I bought it in pristine condition for $1,100 (June '79) with 55,126K miles of strictly 70 mph. hwy miles. My '65 Cadillac had smooth Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission and was fully loaded (with the exception of power vents). It had leather seats as well which held up very nicely over the years. Once in January '89, it had to remain outside one night during a -27F cold snap, but started up the next morning with it's characteristic single quick crank. It purred quietly until I sold it at 141,585 miles.
King of the road.
So GLAM!!!!

I honestly believe that if we all drove automobiles as gorgeous as this, there would be a significant drop in road rage and stoopid driving. This is pure style and grace.
I agree, we have all the knowledge and tech to replicate these vehicles with new tech. Light build en clean combustion 😄
@@visualsbymaurice I totally agree....our family car is probably around the same price as everyone else's but they sound the same, look the same with no room. I remember as a kid my father saying that a whole family could live in the trunk and you could land a jumbo jet on the bonnet.....Now we have tiny little plastic boxes and we're all squashed in tight.....What went wrong.
Love that car one of my favorites
A beautiful machine indeed. During the recording I also started to admire the timeless design. I can soon film 2 more classic cars with this gentleman. A Corvette and another Hotrod pickup. Stay tuned for more videos and thanks for watching. 😎
The 63 - 64 Cadillacs sometimes overshadowed by the 59 - 60; are extremely beautiful, reliable & high tech for their era . " The most beloved Cadillac ever " was one of the slogans ; they had record sales .
Many disappeared due second hand , third owners , not putting in high test gas , which was essential.
People lost interest in them in 70s - 80s .
The remaining need appreciation.
As a boy of 11 , a friend allowed me to drive a golden fawn 63 , down a country road .
I never felt such torque & power reserves since !
I used to own a 1965 Convertible and later a 1966 Coupe De Ville. The 1961-66 Cadillacs were fabulous cars. The 1963 was one of my favourites. Unfortunately, with their size, terrible gas mileage and needed for leaded gas, they aren't really suitable for driving today.
How nice 😁. Here in the Netherlands, almost all American cars are equipped with a gas installation because they use a lot of petrol and it is much too expensive in the Netherlands😅
Nice cadillac I also have a 63 that I'm about to start restoration,,I can't find the vin number for it ,,any help please
Gotta ask: How much does a restoration like this cost?
Hello there, i asked the owner. He said around the 20 - 22 K in euro's.
