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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 .
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 ‘
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.
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
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?
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
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
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. 😘
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.
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
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.
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!
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!!!
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
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 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...😄
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!!
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
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.
Can't pick a favorite car or even era, but I can exclude the JellyBean era that started way back and still kinda continues. The cool thing about this Caddy and others is that it has an actual face; it looks friendly and confident. Also, y'all make this look so easy!
Cars of the 40's are my favorite. I loved my dad's 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I had my own wing window in the back seat! I felt like I was riding in a Rolls-Royce!
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.
Big short out to the guy that cleaned the wheels on this Car for the age of this Car the wheels came out Mint good Job mate love you guy's all my very best Simon from the UK 👍🇬🇧
1970's muscle anything. I have a question for you, why don't you guys ever start the pressure washer from the roof first and work your way down? Love watching the channel. Its satisfying watching the transformation.
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.
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
My Dad introduced me to a guy in Renton, Washington back in 1991. An expert Cadillac mechanic/body/frame restorer. He was so good he put 2 halves of a 50's Cadillac model together so perfect your naked eye couldn't see it. He had about 10 caddies, mostly from the 50's, but a couple from the 60's and 70's. He wore a gold chain about as thick as a pencil, with a full size Caddy hood ornament made of solid gold and diamonds around his neck. I was 20 when we met. He was the epitome of cool.
Outstanding, transformative work Fellas. Bravo and thank you. Those big American cars of the 50s and 60s were extravagant and terrific. Lots of steel in USA after WW2: not so much in Europe. America was never going to design the Reliant Robin or Citroen 2CV.
Nothing better than the cars of the 50`s. Style, colors. They had class. My favorites would be the 57-58 Pontiacs. And of course my first car. A 1956 Mercury Montclair 2 tone Orange.White.
This is a car my dad would have used for motivation. 51 was his sophomore year of college and he always loved Caddys. Aspiring to own one of these was one of the things that kept him in honors all the way through Notre Dame. He had a 65 Caddy convertible in the 80s.
This video made me happier than I have been all day! I LOVE Cadillacs so much especially 1950's, 60's Cadillacs! (My first car was a 1984 Coupe de Ville) Thank You!
This takes me back to about 15 years ago when a friend and I were hired to get a collection running/driving before an estate auction. The deceased owner had about 15 cars, mostly caddys. Most were late 50's-early 70's but there was a 1946 62 Series sedan. Had 17,000 original miles. It was black on black and absolutely gorgeous. That was my favorite car out of the whole collection.
I was so excited to see a cadillac being detailed I love cars from the 40, 50, 60's
The 50s were probably the greatest Era for cars. Nothing but beautiful, fine tuned, great running autos that were made for cruising and looks
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 👍🏻

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.
The Grande Dame is gleaming and clean; she wears her years lightly. Great work, especially with those difficult colors.
Tolle Arbeit. Wunderschöner Klassiker. Immer wieder schön zusehen was ihr aus den vergessenen Schätzen so rausholen könnt.
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!
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 !
no question about it the 50s as a kid I fell in love with a new 50-52 olds rocket 88 I still think about it.
Amazing work you guys do. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Beautiful Caddy. 50's and 60's are my favorite era.
60’s are my favorite decade! Long and low, muscle and awesome trucks!
Can't pick a favorite car or even era, but I can exclude the JellyBean era that started way back and still kinda continues. The cool thing about this Caddy and others is that it has an actual face; it looks friendly and confident. Also, y'all make this look so easy!
Beautiful job..what a difference..beautiful old caddy.
Cars of the 40's are my favorite. I loved my dad's 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I had my own wing window in the back seat! I felt like I was riding in a Rolls-Royce!
Wish it was sitting in my driveway. What a beautiful piece of motoring history. Nice work guys & greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
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.
Big short out to the guy that cleaned the wheels on this Car for the age of this Car the wheels came out Mint good Job mate love you guy's all my very best Simon from the UK 👍🇬🇧
Like the Corvettes you restored, it belongs in a museum. Nice job
😊
1970's muscle anything. I have a question for you, why don't you guys ever start the pressure washer from the roof first and work your way down? Love watching the channel. Its satisfying watching the transformation.
Glad to see you guys bring back that beautiful old Cadillac. It turned out incredible. 👍
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.
Cool car thanks for bringing us along as you brought it back to life
Beautiful transformation! These are the quality of car you guys always should do imo👍👍👍👍👍👍
We do what we can find!
@@WDDetailing Totally understand👍👍👍
Great job, lads. Yes, she definitely deserves to be back on the road.
Great job guys! I'd love to see some merchandise!
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
My Dad introduced me to a guy in Renton, Washington back in 1991. An expert Cadillac mechanic/body/frame restorer. He was so good he put 2 halves of a 50's Cadillac model together so perfect your naked eye couldn't see it. He had about 10 caddies, mostly from the 50's, but a couple from the 60's and 70's. He wore a gold chain about as thick as a pencil, with a full size Caddy hood ornament made of solid gold and diamonds around his neck. I was 20 when we met. He was the epitome of cool.
Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers
Outstanding, transformative work Fellas. Bravo and thank you. Those big American cars of the 50s and 60s were extravagant and terrific. Lots of steel in USA after WW2: not so much in Europe. America was never going to design the Reliant Robin or Citroen 2CV.
Absolute gem! It’s Imperative it gets back on the road!
Beautiful work done on a beautiful car. Thanks for showing it.
Nothing better than the cars of the 50`s. Style, colors. They had class. My favorites would be the 57-58 Pontiacs. And of course my first car. A 1956 Mercury Montclair 2 tone Orange.White.
This is a car my dad would have used for motivation. 51 was his sophomore year of college and he always loved Caddys. Aspiring to own one of these was one of the things that kept him in honors all the way through Notre Dame. He had a 65 Caddy convertible in the 80s.
From zero to Hero.... fantastic work guys!!!!
what a FIND .Beautiful car original amazing how these cars are stored and not driven looks good good job on it
This video made me happier than I have been all day! I LOVE Cadillacs so much especially 1950's, 60's Cadillacs! (My first car was a 1984 Coupe de Ville) Thank You!
This takes me back to about 15 years ago when a friend and I were hired to get a collection running/driving before an estate auction. The deceased owner had about 15 cars, mostly caddys. Most were late 50's-early 70's but there was a 1946 62 Series sedan. Had 17,000 original miles. It was black on black and absolutely gorgeous. That was my favorite car out of the whole collection.
When I was a kid my Aunt had a 2 door Hardtop in the same color scheme.
What a cool car that was !
Now that’s a gorgeous car.
what a$1000 detail ,,,,lotta work and knowledge to do such a wonderful job.
You guys sure do a great job. Love those old cars.
