    I would imagine our '66 Cabrio looked like that during shipping.

    They said open Saturday. Not drive through. That plate looks like Colorado. Wonder if that’s Rickenbaugh Cadillac in Denver. It looks kinda like it. I have a ‘61 Sedan DeVille from there.

    Looks like a '64-'65, as the window is the wider one, but the wheel covers are not the flat disc type introduced in the 1966 MY. Also, I noticed it doesn't have the optional amber turn signals or bumper-mounted reverse lights.

    Now that's not something you don't see everyday.

    Not the name on the building, but the architectural style of it, certainly takes me back!

    For some reason I find this photo amusing. All the VW's in the shop and the huge banner with the large, luxurious car depicted on it's advertising.

    Yeah that’s probably an ad poster the body guy got from Blue Choral. Didn’t have anywhere else to hang it. Just stick it on the pipe in the shop. Lol
