    My 55 Caddy had the battery under the right front fender and was. Long 12volt I had to buy a John Deere battery for it as none of the parts houses had one. lol ran beautifully with just the single carburetor. Series 62 coupe with crank windows.

    I like that they put a blanket under the battery. A lot of people don't even bother

    This car collection is amazing! I love your channel Randy & I mean no disrespect when I say this & am "not" trying to promote another channel, but I would to see you guys contact "WD Detailing" to detail one of those cars. If you've never seen them, they are some young cool cats that have 1.06M subscribers. They travel & do cool cars that have been sitting for years & deserve the finest attention for free. I think they'd be 'way" into it. Just food for thought. I know you all would hit it off big time. Be well.

      i don’t know that much about Caddy’s but is it the’57 Biarritz the one with the chrome vertical bars on the windows?

    I wish I could have told you about the button for the trunk in the glove box... I was saying that when he was fumbling with the keys. my dad had olds 98 a 59 and it had that feature. really great car and great video. Thanks

    Electronic trunk lock just gently push the lid and it pulls the deck lid shut.

    lol, I was going to jokingly say “ hit the trunk open button in the glove box “ never knew they were available this early in production!! 😂

    • @Carchaeology

      I even looked in there for one and thought it was just for a light…should have pressed the silly thing !! 😂

      I have a’56 Eldorado Seville with A/C and trunk release and wind down. First year for electric trunk release and wind down and electric antenna. Antenna is controlled by pushing the radio tuning knob in and out. I like this car a lot!

    How many bags of potting soil did it take to make it look like old dirt 🤔

    • @Carchaeology
      @Carchaeology  2 месяца назад +1

      It was that car cover that was on it, the thing just disintegrated and turned to this grey fluff. Really made it look worse than it was. Same thing with a couple other cars in the warehouse.

  • @morrispartow759
    @morrispartow759 2 месяца назад +3

    It may be the biattriz model ,the back end is quite different from the normal production ones.

    • @Carchaeology
      @Carchaeology  2 месяца назад +2

      It is the Biarritz model!

    @beatglauser9444 2 месяца назад +1

    I think those Caddies and other GM luxury cars had remote opening and probaby even remote lock for the trunk. I have no idea if it was electric, hydraulic or simply mechanical.

  • @davidadkison4702
    @davidadkison4702 2 месяца назад +1

    Your round key fits the trunk.

    couple of things to ask. was that a propane regulator on the engine? and was that your son helping start the car? thanks

    • @Carchaeology
      @Carchaeology  2 месяца назад

      No propane regulator . The young man is Jonas, the grandson of the fellow that collected these cars.
