My best friend is the owner of this car. Saw it when it was delivered, you guys did a great job with it! Saved me alot of work prior to next year's car shows 👍🏻
It cleaned up really nice. Is your friend planning a full restoration, or just getting it running mechanically and drive it as is? It looks nice enough to drive as is.
Standard transmission? It might be a three on the tree. I had a 1952 Caddy hearse with a V8 and 3 speed transmission. Caddy’s and Hudson were huge in stock car racing in those days.
My favorite years of Detroit manufactured vehicles was 1955 through 1972. I liked all types of vehicles from that era. Started driving end of 1970 and the streets were filled with these vehicles. We knew then many were collectibles....never imagined younger generations would have the same passion as I had. Like to see more of these driven around town now....
Great fun! Some notes: I used Brillo pads to clean my white-wall tires. I loved QuicknBrite for plastic detailing; works really well - just don’t be in a hurry as it’s enzyme based. For the old oxidized paint, I just used the old green Turtle Wax on a buffer. Got amazing results on my ‘59 Plymouth.
My favourite eras for US cars are the fifties and sixties: the "landyacht" times. Please do more of those. I'd love to see you do an Edsel (if you haven't done them already). Great work! Best wishes from Ian in Bath UK.
So glad you guys were able to give this old girl some love! That separate heater under the seat was common on luxury cars of the era. Those power windows and that top were hydraulic, rather than being operated by electric motors. That card holder was common on Cadillacs (and probably some other cars) of the day. You'd put what today we'd call the Owners Card or Protecto-Plate there. My favorite era of cars is from about 1964 through 1978. This car is a great color combination. I'm sure the new owner will get it back on the road soon.
I am the owner. The car made it back to Connecticut safely and I have already begun on trying to get it back on the road! Starting with the nasty old fuel system
That brought back some fond memories for me, my dad had a 1957 Caddy convertible he restored in 1967, my wife and I used to put the top down and take it out for some long rides in 1969 right after we got married, the car, my mom and dad, and my wife as well are all gone now, just life, but the memories remain.

@kurtstolar2454 I'm sorry for the loss of your wife and the ache of your heart for her absence. I too have identical twin daughters that are now in college along with 3 older children. I'm nearly 60 now and facing the struggles of old age already but I gave my entire existence to Jesus 12 years ago, so I can face old age with Grace. Our time is almost over here. Jesus is coming to take us that accepted His offer of Salvation to Heaven any day now. Bible prophecy is flying off the pages of Scripture in current events.
@@paulsheffield4729 I’m sorry for your loss as well, it’s very difficult to deal with, she faced it with a lot of strength, I’m 75 now, and was lucky enough to find someone to share my life with once again, I hope you have as well, getting old alone is very hard, my children have their own lives to lead, and I wouldn’t have it any differently, we raised them strong and independent, and lived our lives that way as well.
Your comment kind of made me a little sad at first, but sounds like you experienced some great times, and that the memories remain, and are cherished greatly. May the Lord bless and comfort you as you navigate life without your beloved wife for a time. Heaven awaits, and the reunion will be sweet.🙏🙏
Hiding the gas cap behind tail lights was a very common practice in the 1950s. The fan under the seat is to distribute the air back to the back seat as well as the front seat so the whole car was warm not just the front. And lastly 1950 to about 1964 are my favorite car years
I think that it's very cool to hide the gas cap behind the tail light. This way, if no one knows where the filler neck is for your gas tank, no one will be able to steal your gas.
@@michaelrotter1134First appeared on Cadillac in 1948. Later both Buick and Chevrolet adopted it as well. Eventually all GM cars had it behind the license plate or in plain view on the fender w/a door. My favorite period is the Art Deco Cars of the late ‘30s & early ‘40s. My next most favorite is 1958 through 1970. Especially GM and most especially Cadillac. We saw the last of real wood in the interiors in this era. 1966 for most of GM and 1968 for Cadillac.
Favorite years personally are the 1950's and the 1960's. They seemed to get the styling and designing right for all the cars that were built in these two decades and the fact that the electrics and mechanical parts on these cars were very simple to work on; something that anyone could have a go at; which was the main intention of owning one of these cars at the time. It was meant as a DIY for the public. Btw I loved the clever little pop-out tail light that revealed the gas cap; such a genius design to make the car have a sleek look and have fancy features.
Today's cars have zero style. There is no creativity going into them at all. The interiors are completely bland and they spend no time or money on them. It's really a crime
it wasnt meant as a DIY what are you talking about it. Its a cadillac, people were getting a new model every 2/3 years anyway. Just cause its simple to work on doesnt mean it was intended as DIY car.
Boy did this video bring back memories, when I started driving I had a 32 Pontiac with a 54 olds motor, Picked my mom up and after riding in my Pontiac that evening my parents called me down from my bedroom and offered me our 52 Cadillac convertible with dual spotlights and continental kit which was not being used because my dad had bought her a 58 4 door caddy. I cherished that car and washed and waxed it endlessly, Drove it to California once and after graduation I foolishly traded it in on a 1961 Impala! Enjoyed the video! Thanks, JP3 80 years young.
Outstanding work on a car that was the standard for the world. This classic needs to be on the road again and shared with future generations. Out of all the cars you've done, I'm still waiting to see a 1930s prewar detail. How about working your magic on a Auburn speedster?
I really like the big led sleds from the 1940’s but might favorite styles came from the 1960’s. Also, for future reference, most of the time, when you see those metal ashtrays in cars, if you pull straight up when the lid is open, the whole thing comes out. It may make it easier for detailing and cleaning in the future. Great video as always ‘
I have watched so many of these detailing videos and there is something so satisfying about watching an initial mess of a vehicle being transformed step by step into something beautiful again. Like I said, I need someone to explain why it gives me so much pleasure watching. 😘
I am a vehicle collector myself. I have a few 1951 Cadillacs. 2 are sitting outside in pretty bad condition, one I have inside in pretty good condition. It’s identical to this one, except it wears a coat of black paint. These machines were ahead of their times.
OMG!! That is like the exact same car my Dad years ago. Same paint, same seats, same soft top, everything. It sat in his carport until he sold it, which was about 35 years ago. Sure does take me back. Beautiful car. So awesome of you and the owner to give this old girl some love. Thank-you!
1955 to 1972 are my favorite cars..I own & drive a 1956 Chevy 2 door Business Coupe & a 1959 GMC 1/2 ton Step Side along with my daily driver 2002 S10 standard cab short bed
Hey RJ, I have a lesson for you. A hub-cap & a wheel-cover. 1.) A hub-cap "sits" over the lig-nuts(the HUB!) 2.) A wheel-cover "sits" over the entire wheel, is mated on.👍🎉 Doug
Nobody said it was a 30's model . He Said the 1930's was the height of American design Presumably in answer to the question what was your favourite era .
What an incredible transformation! I love this channel. Question: how do you keep your shop clean with all the power spraying?? Doesn't the residue get on the walls, ceiling, etc.? My favorite decade is the 1970s.
two things first amazing job on the car. You brought this classic back to life and it is beautiful again. Secondly, with the following you have, I think merch would be a great idea because you’ll be able to do better and more projects if you have that extra flow of income coming in, you might even be able to expand your shop, upgrade your equipment, or just generally overall expand your business and that’s good for everybody involved
MD detailing, as an auto mechanic and a vintage car buff, THANK-YOU so much for your time in showing high class in the cleaning process of restoring this gorgeous '51-'53 Caddy convertible! For the new owner to have it brought to your shop for a SERIOUS dose of "beauty bath" love-that says, without a word being said, you guys strive to do the best job you can on EVERY vehicle-no matter what its age or state of condition! Thanks for proving that client's trust was justified!👍🇺🇸🦅😇 Doug
I was so excited to see this car featured on your platform…wondering how it would come out. Couldn’t help but think of my father who loved Cadillacs- he owned 6- 8 over his lifetime. Thanks for the memories!!
When I was a kid I remember one of my Dad's uncles was very rich and every year he got a new Cadillac and his wife got his hand me down. I always thought those Cadillacs from the 50s were the fanciest car around ! Great job on bringing that beautiful car back to life. 👍
my aunt and uncle lived in Dallas. Just like your uncle, they only drove Cadillacs in the 1950's and 1960's. I really like this video. Of course, this was the year I was born......You guys did an awesome job of bringing this old girl back to life/How safe were cars back then? I know they only had lap belts, the cross chest seat belts came out in the late '60's, I think.
Stunning job specially to revive the chromed & leather parts.. Watching you guys from Europe be safe out-there and pull out more such old beauties even that Lincoln sitting next to it inside the garage was very cool try to see it as next clean project ! tanks
FACE REVEAL! 😀 I won’t give a hard time for standing in the back watching Mike and RJ wash the car 🤪😀 Thanks guys! Always looks so awesome when you’re done! If you want to do merch, do merch 😊 Have a great week! Take care! Eddie
I know it has been a while since you detailed the Cadillac, but those rear ashtrays pull out that was a common feature for most rear ashtrays, and front ashtrays with cars of that and slightly later eras.
As someone who absolutely adores Older Caddy's, especially my favorites being built between 1960-1970 Caddy Convertibles, this one definitely deserves to be back on the road to be enjoyed cruising the highways once again!!!
what a car! i love the paint and unique style (especially the fuel tank, how cool is that). my favorite year of cars? i'll go with 80/90's, i think the craziest cars were from those years.
Loved watching this! Retired Florida boat detailer secret for mildew/black vinyl to perfection- Maguiars Super Degreaser. I’m sure you have your own but this works VERY well
What an awesome car glad to see it got the love it deserves. My favorite cars are from the late 60's through the early 70's but I like seeing any older car brought back to life. I've seen others posting some of your content as theirs occasionally and I call them out for it I'm sure you guys are aware of it.
You folks seem to do a pretty thorough job of washing and basic (good-enough-for-video) detailing. Do you have any recommendations for serious detailing shops?
As a piece of historical cars from the 50´s or 60´s it is worth to get detailed and got back to the public streets/roads. Greeting from Upper Bavaria...😄
This was a lot of metal to polish, and you did a great job! My grandfather would always have a new to him, used Cadillac and on Sundays would dress to match the color of the car… Yellow and white was his favorite color combo and I can totally picture the outfit he would wear: Yellow blazer, white shirt, white and yellow checkered pants and bow tie with white shoes and belt. As he would always say: “Great heavenly days in the morning” that’s a beautiful car! My personal favorite era of cars are euro and JDM cars of the late sixties and seventies… If you did mercy I would totally buy a WD branded chamois, towel or brush.
Did you ever consider using jeweler's rouge for finishing touches on chrome or stainless steel? It could really bring out the shine. Steel wool is great but you can still make it pop louder. Also you could consider doing a split screen of before and after, you can really see the differences more clearly.
Nice work. Sure it's nice to have something fully restored, but this looks great and will be a great driver. I did a 1963 Thunderbird for a friend back in 1989/1990 that his dad that had passed away had in a storage unit at the restaurant/package store he owned. We were both amazed how it came out and cool features like oscillating a/c vents. It's so much faster and better to pull the interior out.
I salute you guys for the huge boost you give to preservationists working hard to keep alive American car styling from earlier eras. Especially among those working in my own area of historical preference: 1950 to 1958. Even though some of the designs from that era may range from excessive to ludicrous, they did so to reflect historically important shifts and trends, many of which I find fascinating.
What a stunner!!! I am not surprised that the power seat and windows no longer worked. This car ran those hydraulically. You may have noticed the odd plumbing under the front seat. There was a hydraulic fluid reservoir and pump under the hood with plumbing from it going to the seat and each window. When you pressed a button that pump pressurized the lines running to the the appropriated place and moved the seat or window in question. The button released the pressure when pressed the other way moving it in the opposite direction. Over the years the seals give out and the system loses fluid. Here the pump may have also stopped working, as you would have for sure heard it running when a button was pushed to raise a window. It gave a loud whirring sound. I had a 51 Buick convertible once (same color and same red leather interior). It had the same system. I had an accident in it that twisted some of those lines which sprang leaks. Everywhere the hydraulic fluid ran down the surface, it took off the paint.
My absolute favorite is a 59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible, though this one that you’re detailing is a beauty! I also love the pre war Dusenbergs and Packards.
I was so excited to see a cadillac being detailed I love cars from the 40, 50, 60's

Mr. B. Here ! Morning 👀☕️🍩😎👍 ! The 50’s , 60’s, & 70’s ! Was born late 52 , so I saw many of these vehicles by late 50’s what great era for cars !
what a car! i love the paint and unique style (especially the fuel tank, how cool is that). my favorite year of cars? i'll go with 80/90's, i think the craziest cars were from those years.
She is a beautiful car
Loved watching this! Retired Florida boat detailer secret for mildew/black vinyl to perfection- Maguiars Super Degreaser. I’m sure you have your own but this works VERY well
Wish it was sitting in my driveway. What a beautiful piece of motoring history. Nice work guys & greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
60’s are my favorite decade! Long and low, muscle and awesome trucks!
Glad to see you guys bring back that beautiful old Cadillac. It turned out incredible. 👍
What size steel wool did you use on the chrome?
Awesome job! Congrats
What an awesome car glad to see it got the love it deserves. My favorite cars are from the late 60's through the early 70's but I like seeing any older car brought back to life. I've seen others posting some of your content as theirs occasionally and I call them out for it I'm sure you guys are aware of it.
You folks seem to do a pretty thorough job of washing and basic (good-enough-for-video) detailing. Do you have any recommendations for serious detailing shops?
As a piece of historical cars from the 50´s or 60´s it is worth to get detailed and got back to the public streets/roads. Greeting from Upper Bavaria...😄
WOW Great work and amazing cadillac 👍😎🔥
Exelente.......
The cleaned leather on the backseat looks like cleaned leather furniture in 19th centuri French or British chateau. 👍👍
Beautiful transformation! These are the quality of car you guys always should do imo👍👍👍👍👍👍
We do what we can find!
@@WDDetailing Totally understand👍👍👍
This was a lot of metal to polish, and you did a great job! My grandfather would always have a new to him, used Cadillac and on Sundays would dress to match the color of the car… Yellow and white was his favorite color combo and I can totally picture the outfit he would wear: Yellow blazer, white shirt, white and yellow checkered pants and bow tie with white shoes and belt. As he would always say: “Great heavenly days in the morning” that’s a beautiful car! My personal favorite era of cars are euro and JDM cars of the late sixties and seventies… If you did mercy I would totally buy a WD branded chamois, towel or brush.
Cool car thanks for bringing us along as you brought it back to life
Did you ever consider using jeweler's rouge for finishing touches on chrome or stainless steel? It could really bring out the shine. Steel wool is great but you can still make it pop louder. Also you could consider doing a split screen of before and after, you can really see the differences more clearly.
Nice work!
Nice work. Sure it's nice to have something fully restored, but this looks great and will be a great driver. I did a 1963 Thunderbird for a friend back in 1989/1990 that his dad that had passed away had in a storage unit at the restaurant/package store he owned. We were both amazed how it came out and cool features like oscillating a/c vents. It's so much faster and better to pull the interior out.
Absolutely beautiful job on the Caddy!!!
I salute you guys for the huge boost you give to preservationists working hard to keep alive American car styling from earlier eras. Especially among those working in my own area of historical preference: 1950 to 1958. Even though some of the designs from that era may range from excessive to ludicrous, they did so to reflect historically important shifts and trends, many of which I find fascinating.
That car is a keeper!!!!
What a stunner!!! I am not surprised that the power seat and windows no longer worked. This car ran those hydraulically. You may have noticed the odd plumbing under the front seat. There was a hydraulic fluid reservoir and pump under the hood with plumbing from it going to the seat and each window. When you pressed a button that pump pressurized the lines running to the the appropriated place and moved the seat or window in question. The button released the pressure when pressed the other way moving it in the opposite direction. Over the years the seals give out and the system loses fluid. Here the pump may have also stopped working, as you would have for sure heard it running when a button was pushed to raise a window. It gave a loud whirring sound. I had a 51 Buick convertible once (same color and same red leather interior). It had the same system. I had an accident in it that twisted some of those lines which sprang leaks. Everywhere the hydraulic fluid ran down the surface, it took off the paint.
Like the Corvettes you restored, it belongs in a museum. Nice job
😊
My absolute favorite is a 59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible, though this one that you’re detailing is a beauty! I also love the pre war Dusenbergs and Packards.
I'm curious if those were original carpets or replacements?
Excellent job guys 💙💙🤝🤝
S would be a magic car to see on the road in these times to show or remind manufacturers how cars were really made with incredible quality!
Amazing transformation, you guys are miracle workers !
