A good start for a recreation of the "Pinks Car"

What's the "Pinks Car"?

In any event, these were really good cars. I'd remove the visual garbage off it, put on some nice original wheels and drive it. At least by the pics it looks decent overall.

It looks like that car is from down here. The badge on the left side of the trunk says Potamkin. That is a big Chev/Cad dealer here in Miami.

I'll pass................

If one of those cars came my way in the right condition and the right price, I'd consider it. I like burgandy with a white half vinyl roof and white leather with red dash and carpets.

Potamkin is your Long Island, New York Chevrolet, NYC GMC Buick and Manhattan Cadillac dealer serving Queens and Brooklyn.
Really could of had this one for $3500 Not as nice as the picture. On the other hand no rust under the top, good daily driver quality.

It has to be the same owner/dealer then. The badge is identical to the one used here.

But you'll never have to worry about me sniping a deal on one of those small Cadillacs from anyone. I had one and just plain didn't like it.

After a 2nd look might be from FLA. Unusual to see something up here that rust free.  Its about 2 hours from me.

For sale 79 Coupe DeVille Less than 60k miles. Engine and tranny work 100%. Body and frame solid no holes.

Needs brake lines, small leak in gas tank gauge doesn't work, needs exhaust, dimmer switch, windshield washer pump, passenger door stuck.

Would make for a good restoration project. $2500 or bo.

He's dreaming and its fugly.  

I'm not fond of that body style CDV, the Fleetwood's at least are a bit more balanced.  

For those that do like that model, there are still sufficient quantity at a reasonable price that haven't been boogered.

That wheelstand wasn't done with anything posted here for sale. That car had a real engine in it.

I just thought for 2k and another 6k for a motor and you could recreate the Wheelstander!

I guess we can assume he didn't lose the race??
Bet he's got more than 6K in that engine.

But why is the real question.

To each their own.
