For Sale & Wanted / Re: Talisman
Last post by Fins - October 20, 2023, 04:23:16 PM
I still drool over that '76 Talisman that Dr. John was a custodian of for a while. It matched my car. I've never seen any other car brand with the blue like the Crystal Blue Firemist. For some reason, it wasn't a popular color.

Like they say, I got mine and that's all that counts. When I go, it is already slated for it's next owner.

Look closer. You may be able to reach your fingers under the rear roofline and lift the entire roof right off of it. Standard GM fare. Roof rot under the vinyl.

It really is a shame that the car companies didn't properly seal the metal under the vinyl and for that matter, seal the roof against moisture intrusion also.

The Talisman models only had dark blue or black velour or Medici as it was called. Triple white would be a knockout.

Taht's a good looking car.  Light blue with a white interior would be preferable.

What does it need that will cost $15k?

You really do realize that you are killing me, right? White and Blue Medici?  :hammer:

It still needs $15k to make it right. My retirement is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than a car at this point.

I'm loving this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

Those Krauts and Swedes own all of our old Cadillacs. They seem to be rolling in dough.

For Sale & Wanted / 1950 Cadillac Heads Needed
Last post by Otto Skorzeny - July 08, 2023, 03:39:27 AM
A German guy on the Toronado forum posted this:

a dear friend of mine owns several classic US vehicles, one of them is a 1950 Cadillac 4-door limo, Series 62.
We cannot locate a proper cylinder head (driver's side) as a replacement for the cracked one that he removed. The Cad still has the original engine.
The casting number shows 1454022-3
In case you know Cadillac buffs who might have a spare cylinder head (we would buy for both sides) or could lead to a source we would be more than happy.
Pls contact me at
michaelwoenne@yahoo.com
I have PayPal for a smooth transaction, all fees would be covered.
As long as this ad is unaltered, we did not find a replacement cylinder head.
Thank you very much for your help, it is appreciated very much.
Regards
Michael
