2:29 There's the picnic basket! Sure enough, same garage!

20:14 Dave

I wish he kept the car

Me. Was so surprised to find out that Alex knew the owner of the house.

I'm here because this video was on my feed this morning. That was a well done video of the woman.

Same, the pine cones were our clue, totally missed it too. Vince.......Right?

I Had to watch this again too.

I miss the pine cones, almost. (It felt like it was something to pay attention to but I didn't know what.) My "Aah-ha!-Moment" was when Melissa was saying: "This lady had tiny feet." And at the end of one episode where Josh and Alex was outside the house and about to end the day. I reckoned (?) the outside ground and how the front lawn looked like. I dont know how, this was in dark winter and when he was there to take the car it was bright summer. When I saw that I... no, my brain put it together to Melissa's comment and I remember the tiny lady with colourful clothes. But I wasn't sure. Later in some episode read a comment where someone gave some more clues and he/she was more sure than me. Talk about the old photo Alex have shown of the (then younger) lady and the resembling of the old lady he drown in the caddy. So I looked thru several videos until I found this one. This was about when Alex had uploaded episode 6 or something. So I have "known" for a while. But not been 100% sure because the brain can fool you sometimes.

I had missed this one and came to watch it after watching the musician story. What a beauty! Alex you are so lucky to have those gems around on the other side of the pond. And it was so nice to see Dave and the lady of the house! Thank you again 👍

YEAH, VINCE! Amazing how teachers continue to enfluence us even as we retire.

The golfball in the glovebox too!

Dave 😕

So true! I think it was the same clothes hanging in the garage on the left too. Was it a Christian Dior shirt? (The light coloured one) I can’t remember, but I found myself going back to the interior of the garage and seeing recognisable things from the garage episode. Amazing how much stuff ended up going in there after the car was removed.

Totally agree with you

They did pay homage a bit with the Ford Mustang, but ya, sadly, for the most part they don't.

@@KathySarich The Dodge Challenger also

They wouldn't appeal to the Generation Z drivers if they looked like something their grandparents drove.

No technology inputs either...

Yes I am looking for that one as well, still haven't found it.

She seemed delighted by Alex's joke about the strop.

Old lady style goals.

Debbie HEndrix yes, lets meet her on film! She exudes personality!

I wanted a better look at her hand knit top, now that I've taken up knitting :)

Yeah, go pick her up in her old car once it's back to spec. She'd be delighted.

Patrick Snow what do you expect for a car in a warm garage

Patrick Snow I love old cars. Modem cars are utter shite. I can’t drive either lol

I agree that new cars are trash I got a 1947 studebaker commander

@@communismman1471I'm not sure how to take your comment. Up here in Canada its not to offen you come across a 1964 caddy in this shape with no rust at all and turn key ready. Truely remarkable

I also got a 1967 Cadillac coupe deville that's been sitting in a field since 1978 it's all original looks like from the factory but has one rust spot and I live in the Sunshine Coast it rains ol most every day

Shop vac FTW

Daver G lolz 😆 totally

@@rwdplz1 Sasquatch was in there, too, and there was still room for Amelia Earhart!

The 1967 Eldorado was the car for that. It had completely flat floors. When I got stuck with mine because of a bad water pump, me and my three friends slept comfortably on the seats and floor for the night.

Not that long ago either. Less than a year and a half.

Dear Jeanette Bateman. Maybe Alex will sell it to you if you are really interested!? Best regards luck and health.

What's living if not with a little bit of risk? These cars make driving enjoyable.

Hey, at least it got into other good hands, that's always a nice feeling...

Never sell a caddy because of age! I've gotten 200,000 to even 300,000 miles out of all 6 that I've owned. Except for my latest but it's still at 197,000 and still cruising......all a caddy ever needs is respect, good maintenance and just to be driven!

That's what I did with my 72 Mercury Marquis Brougham. The guys father bought it brand new and it was finally parked it in 1991. Once I got the car roadworthy again, I took the fellow for a drive and he absolutely loved it, brought back memories of him driving with his dad when he was young. He was so happy I was someone that actually wanted to fix the car up and drive it, compared to many others that were looking at it to use it just for the 429, C6 trans and 9 Inch diff

We did :) video on our general store series

@@dethmetel ooooo another one of my favorite luxury cars.

@@dethmetel be back

@@michaelbishop5819 be back what?

Lol!

😂🤣

😆

Oh, nooooooooo, Mr. Alex!!! 🐿🐿🐿

@@babawali3021 now there's a vindictive chipmunk out there plotting Alex's demise and we have no idea when he'll strike... Oh jeez. I might need to draw this... Or find someone who can draw

Alex, you'll need a larger parking lot at the store now for sure; this car will fill it up all by itself.

He can fill that car and take tons of stuff to the General store! 21' long I believe.

That was my immediate thought. What a great smile.

The car matches her

Yes it does. Did you hear Alex say he was going to take her for a ride after the car show? I hope he films it! I'd like to hear her play piano too!😃

Heck, DOUBLE date night. Triple if you're a thrill seeker and don't mind the trunk!

Haha! A male just a friend in HS in the mid 70s had a cream colored one of these, demonstrated that the front and back seats folded down together to make a giant kingsized mattress; he extended an invite to the drive in and then to park at a vista with a gorgeous view over the lights of our tourist town and the bay after on Summer day... to my bff, her boyfriend, and me. Other than embarassment over the noises from the back seat I was happily engrossed in the movie a solid four feet from him, and chattered his ear off about the view and what different lights were for hours and hours after. It wasn't until my wedding reception line a good 3+ years later that I grasped what escaped me then as he nearly bent me double backwards and knocked my picture hat askew as he kissed me thoroughly inappropriately in my reception line and then announced he'd been waiting years to do that, lol. But according to my bff that backseat was better than her bed at home, haha!!!

seaneen delong I love that story haha! Hopefully you didn't have too much 'splainin' to do 😂😂

Right on! They sounded musical and commanded respect back then. First time I tooted the horn on my Subaru I was embarrassed by that wimpy sound. It was laughable.

This car is missing the third horn. The horn wouldn't be as loud as one so equipped.

Don't make me come back there!!!

Shyra Sams you made me laugh with your comment my stomach is hurting for laughing so hard :-) lol'

That's exactly what that spatula was for... ahahahaha

"Do you want me to stop this car?" or "You can walk home from here." Memories.... 😂

I was thinking they used it as a makeshift ice scraper, but now I'm almost certain it was too reach the back seat passengers now that I've thought enough about it 😂

Laurie Dunn it was like the opening in Star Wars

Those things used to be rated in "smiles per gallon". ;)

@@rollerchaos - Absolutely :-)

Its no Prius , but it has more style

Depending on how it's driven on the highway it will get from 18 mpg up to 22 mpg.. They were way more efficient than what we are led to believe. My parents 55 and 58 Chevy's got 20 to 22 mpg, my 69 Buick Electra got up to 25 mpg and my 63 Dodge 440 sedan with a 318 Poly engine currently gets 22 mpg. The older cars get their best mileage when the engine is running at 2250 rpm, which on a car like this Cadillac is around 70-75 mph.

chris younts - I had a ‘69 Coupe de Ville with the 472 engine, and I did get 18 mpg on the highway‼️ The Quadrajet carb had MINI primary venturis, but huge secondaries! When you punched it, it would definitely move out for a 4700 pound car👍🇺🇸‼️

Isn’t she delightful!

I just realised. By chance I decided to watch the General Store series again and it got to the episode where Alex went to look at the Caddy and I recognised the garage. I remember all the pine cones that were found in the car so the number he found in today's video aren't a surprise. In the short videos she appeared in she seemed lovely, one of those people that, if you were friend's with her, that was always happy and nice and you enjoyed. I'm sure she would be happy to know Alex was the one clearing her house. I remember the first time watching this thinking I liked her style. She didn't change at all in later life.

@@scotcat7182 I'm glad to know that this woman didn't have a prolonged period at the end of her life that was miserable. So many older people end up with dementia, or immobile, or withering away in a care facility forever. Here she was just a year ago teaching piano and having her Tim Horton's coffee.

Run it on LPG/butane?

Or buy older diesel, Mercedes w123

Actually, I drive a Cadillac still today. Number 6 that I have owned and the strange thing is, all of them that I can recall got excellent gas mileage for such a big car! The one I drive today has 4.6 liter V8 and gets 30 miles to the gallon at cruise speed! 02 DeVille :) beautiful cars!

lol

😂😂😂😂

I wouldent Cal that a restore it needs new tires and some lether work this car is in its original running condition

Albert Lilly that’s sweet

not to mention fuel lines.

I thought he DID sing that once... :)

1962pjh Elvis 🕺 used to buy his entourage Cadillacs.

I remember going to the drive in to see that movie when it came out. Great movie.
