This 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was left to rott on a unknown property, then eventually went through what we believe was a estate sale. Since then, it's been sitting in a grass field. It's been off the road since 1989! Do you think I can get it running and driving, and make the 600 miles journey home? WATCH AND FIND OUT!

Sir, your channel is amazing. You do such a great job. I’m a shade tree mechanic of many years, started out just like your son climbing in the engine compartment taking plugs out. I’m amazed at your son and how smart he is. You’re doing a great job as a father too. I have an old Chevy that I had all but given up on and with the arthritis I have had the perfect excuse. After watching some of these videos, I have dusted off my Taiwana Socket set and got my ass outside and hooked up the chargelator and juiced her up and then…I BROUGHT THE THUNDER 😄 🇺🇸 I share all your videos with my two sons as well. This video is my favorite as Im a Cadillac nut! Just wanted to thank you!

Strong Lola girl. Hey great super job on the ole girl. She got ya home. I've only seen 4 of your videos so far. Very good job all the way around. I'm 66 just retired machinist last year. Worked on my cars, my kids cars not so much now. Anyway enjoy all the engine, brake work you do on these cars that have sit forever. Funny watching you drive her home, i noticed the headliner is still up and attached. I have a 2007 pick up truck and the headliner is all but completely hanging down. Must have used better glue back then, ha. Good job again, young man.

I’m 20 I just picked up a 78 Cadillac coupe deville delegance. Gonna try and restore it best I can. Car is solid only a couple tiny dings. Headliner is the first thing I’m replacing. Already got the fabric ripped out just need to figure out how to get the padding thing back into place. Stole my tires off my 91 deville and replacing the carburetor and then I can at least be comfortable to drive it around. Drove it probably 40 miles home just a few weeks ago when I bought it.

Caddy name suggestion: “Root Beer Float” based on the root beer color and that it’s a caddy that floats down the highway. Just a thought :)

I like your videos. I remember that car well. My dad got a used one around 1974 from someone on this mail route. It was the nicest car we ever had. It was white with green fabric. I was 10 years old and was fascinated with the AM/FM radio. He only had it a few months - someone slammed into him. Everyone was okay, the car was totaled.

@Owen Tighe Each state is different. The title, registration, plates, insurance, headlights, tail lights, brake and turn are all required. I live in Denver, Colorado and they quit the safety inspections when the emission tests became a requirement. Too much cost for the consumer. I see police cars with cracked windshields all the time that would have never made it past a safety inspection. The police can stop and ticket for an outrageously broken windshield as well as bad tires and the like but all 3 of mine have cracked windshields. In the winter, if you travel in the mountains you must have appropriate tires and big rigs must have chains on board. We get tickets for expired plates on our own property, if in site, and it costs much more to register the vehicle the longer you wait after it is expired. Some states are much, much, much less restrictive.

My first two cars were Oldsmobiles. First a '68 Cutlass, then a '72 Delta 88. I had several more over the years. That Delta looks like a late '60s model, maybe a '67? If it has the 425 or 455, those were some very good engines for their time. I'd really like to see a revival on that one. All the best to you and your family.

My Dad had this very car - a 1969 Sedan de Ville, dark green exterior (painted, not vinyl roof), with the same colour inside. I smiled when I saw the brocade upholstery with the leather trim in the video - same as my Dad's Caddy!! The dash, steering wheel, controls, all as I remember. Brought back memories. GREAT car. It had one of the biggest engines, even for the time - 472 cubic inches or 7.7 litres. 375 horses, endless torque. Last model year before pollution gear was installed on US cars and power output fell off. My Dad had his for 5 years before selling it to a friend. We had this car in Edmonton, Alberta, through cold, cold winters and hot, buggy summers. Excellent heat, A/C like a meat locker when we drove it through the summer heat waves in southern British Columbia. Lots of highway driving around western Canada. Great long distance car. My favorite of all the cars my Dad owned.
