barnfind 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

it sat in the garge 30 years, was found by http://www.vintagesportscars.com/vintage_car_barn_finds.html who saw it once and then 6 years later the old woman who bought it new finally sold it to him and he extracted it from the garage.

Stupidly, after all the trouble of getting it, he didn't keep it. Dumb ass traded it for construction work that was never completed.
