Love the stiff in the back! Always strange seeing old relics when I saw them brand new. Old caddies were quite a (large) ride. Wonderful cruisers!

Lucky for you the cracked glass is the flat glass. There's hope. You're a patient man, and not getting overwhelmed is the first best step. Thank you for sharing. I had a '59 Coupe DeVille when I worked at Apple. White. And I had a good friend with a '73 Miller Meteor ambulance. I miss him. And that amazing car.

I really love this car! It has a history to tell. Including heavy hail it went through. Amazing that this super heavy duty hood could get dented like that. Maybe the cracked glass on top of the right quarter panel got damaged by hail as well. It would be a shame to over restore this vehicle. The history of it would be lost. IT is always a dilemma: What do I fix what do I let the way it was? Luckily budget restrictions prevent us from being over the top perfectionists.

I remember some funeral homes that had multiple cars having both dedicated hearses and ambulances rather than using combinations whereas others with smaller fleets had the combination for dual use and removable red lights, etc. Hope you’re able to finish as evidently the 57 58 seem to be rare for some reason.

@davidg813 that's money I don't need to spend. I get a ton of compliments the way she is. Why do something that will erase the last original painted 58 m-m? I understand fake patina which is stupid. Do you understand how much work it would be to prep this car for paint? 500lbs of old cracked lead would need to come off. So your statement is wrong on this one. You'd NEVER get your money back.
