    As someone so eloquently put... I don't like to be the guy usin' tools and drinkin' beer without an intro, so I'm Adam. I've generally been a Caddy guy (17 to date), but wagons were a close second (first car:77 Impala wagon) My latest is a 72 Estate wagon. Here's a pic. Now she has Buick rallyes, and is awaiting rust repair in the windows. Ill post pics when I start. Great website, btw!

    Thanks all! After seeing the color combo, I had to have her. And yes, it is 4r45t2x220724... a little unnerving you knew that, but... I had an ambulance briefly (see below), but no Caddy wagon (yet)

    Wonder whether it was the original color. What does the body tag say?

    I should have realized! That's her on Fred's lot. And yes, it is the original color (and almost all original paint!). How do you post large pics like that 75?

    You can use the FaststoneResizer on the camera pics and that takes some of the blubber out of the camera pics to load up in the gallery or as attachments. Here's the link. Play with some of your pics to get the size of image that you want, then try posting it.

    http://www.faststone.org/

    The other option is to post on a site like photobucket or cardomain and then use their link options to link and show here.

    I aways save photos from the internet (eBay in this case) with (if available) the VIN in the file name and the place where it was for sale (NY)

    To get larger photos here you best can make your own account in www.photobucket.com for example.

    Once you have your own account (they need an email address) you can upload photos from your HD there... than copy/paste the url in a message here

    EDIT: Thanks Norm

    When I saw that Cadillac, first thing that popped in my head "Mother Jugs and Speed". If any of you guys remember that or even know what movie it is.

    I think it came out in 1976, with Bill Cosby, and it was about an ambulance company in southern Calif......good flick.
