I wish. I am an editor for a Dutch classic car mag and last friday I did a quick repo on a guy who has 4 1957 Caddies.

No doubt about it, the Americans made some beautiful cars in the 50s. I love them.

ha ha , yeah, proper tyres, its a shame when you see them with the 1 inch white band tyres but the price difference is immense, £300 a tyre against about £80 a tyre

[steviejasp]

Nice!

[dinkel]

Great stuff. Keep 'em coming.

Well, if those sort of running costs are a problem, a '57 Caddy really isn't the car you should be owning

I understand the fondness of proper WW's but those thin line whities look OK to me

Running costs: the owner has 4!

Sorry, naff narrow whitewall radials just look sooooooooo wrong and spoils the look of the car completely.

I'll ask the owner what he thinks:
