Title: 64 or 68 caddy? What say U?
Post by: msuguydon on May 23, 2010, 12:15:32 PM
So..... the Tuna boat is not quite big enough for the wife.. as you all know.. size matters  :oops:  

She is lobbying for a Caddy convertible.. after all we live in Florida where there is two kinds of people, newlyweds and nearly deads...

So... I am liking the 64.. she is kinda leaning to the 68.. basically they are the same price... what are you thoughts...

I vote for the '64....AFTER he changes those wheels   :!:    Oh...Don't forget to measure your "docking space" ...  :idea:      Those things are bigger than your current "boat" ....   :shock:

Man, you don't want us to get in the middle of that, do ya'?  They both look pretty swanky, and for my own taste, either one would suit me just fine - based on looks.  But, if it is going to be her ride, why not just let her pick?  If she doesn't like it, it will be your fault anyways.  :wink:  :lol:

They are both nice. I prefer the'64 but like was said above, if it's going to be her car let her decide. That's experience talking.

Having owned 1/2 of a '64 Eldo Convert I'm partial to the '64, plus it looks like the stance is a little better than the '68.  But as wisely said above: If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy......

Quote from: "57larry"are you keeping the 58?

Right now I am not doing anything.

I want something new, different... the 58 is paid for so I am no big hurry to sell it.. plus it makes me smile when I drive.. sorta my first love..  :D

Plus who the hell wants a 4 door, 58 chevy other than me?

I having been longing for a 61 bubble top.. but man are they expensive...
the wife wants a convertible.. she wants.. 69 catalina / lemans /bonneville.

Hey I am open to suggestions.. got something you want to sell to a dope in florida.. I am your man
