This is one of the coolest cars you've bought in a long time. It's amazing. And it's driver quality. It isn't some garage queen nonsense.

Man you have got to love how genuine and passionate this paint guy is about his automobiles and profession. He’s happier to see how these things turn out than Hoovie is. He does such amazing work man. All the props to him!

Man, Stuart is such a good addition to your channel. I love how enthusiastic he is

When the mechanics who work on the car also fall in love with it, you know that you have something very special indeed! Keep up the good work!

The exotics cars are ok, but I really love the older car content! I really feel the channel needs more everyday affordable quirky cars, I find it charming and down to earth feeling that most people can relate too.

That’s not a car, that’s an art piece. Absolutely stunning.

Listening to Hoovie talk about the 1949 magazine shows how much of a classic car guy he is

Seriously, Vangough has to be one of the most talented detail shops I have ever seen. Bravo to them!

Such a beautiful Caddy! And Stuart’s enthusiasm is infectious! I love when you bring your cars to him lol!

You really hit a HOME RUN with that car. Love watching it and cars of the same kind also. Anyone can try and flex exotics but not many show older cars that made history like that Caddy

Vango continues to blow my mind. They've been such a great addition to the channel.

Beautiful caddy. I'm from independence, ks and it makes me smile to see a fellow Kansan so successful. Keep the content coming.

The consistency of work Vango produces is amazing, stunning work

Love that style fastback. Years ago drove across Kansas on vacation. It was like 120 degrees. When stopped for gas, the wind was blowing and felt like standing in front of hot hair dryer. The parking lot was so hot the tar was melting and would stick to our shoes. Never forget that

Honestly, I kind of love how the Cadillac is a mix of so many eras. Really brings the best of all those time periods.

I have to admit the '49 Cadillac is extremely nice. A period correct Restomod done correctly with Cadillac parts. If it was done now it would probably have a LSA or LT4 from a V which would be awesome but wouldn't fit the character of the '49 as much. The slightly lowered suspension, wire wheels, and white walls is what really sets it off.

Love how excited Stuart gets over all the cars you bring. Did a great job on the Miata and Cadillac!

Oh man, I would love to see a deep-dive video going through all the details on this Cadi some day. How glorious it is! I think it's almost unanimous that everyone here loves this car! Thanks Tyler!

This caddy has been the best of your videos by far. I can relate much more easily to it than any Lambo or Ferrari. Can you do more of this sort of content please?

Hoovie, you're now going in the right direction with this magnificent Cadillac - I was seriously losing hope you'd ever see the light.

Both the MX5 and the Caddy turned out amazing. Wow. I don't have the patience to clean cars for a living, but man it must be satisfying when the customer gets to see the end result.

The '49 Cad is my favorite of all the cars you have presented on the HG channel. I would daily this rolling sculpture, and when I am dead I would be buried beneath it's parking space.

This video made me realise the two cars from early childhood that inspire me as a daily drive restomod are my mom’s dad’s 41 Olds in the same fastback body style as your 49 Caddy, and dad’s mom’s 38 LaSalle. Growing up during the war these two family cars marked the stylistic break between the older 30s cars and what were back the contemporary look. The Cord was probably the car that inspired this shift. So for someone my age your 49 Cadillac is more closely related to all those cars that were made since - the whole 3 decade progression up to the malaise era. The La Salle, from my perspective is a bit old fashioned, and of course the preceding Model A square body style the last ruminant of carriage style coachwork - so to speak. There were plenty of them on the roads during the war as I peeked out from my perch in the front seat of these and other family cars.

It pleases my soul to see these Classic land yacht's surviving and driving as they should, showing off style and Craftsmanship. It's sad we will never see this ever again.

Congrats on this one Tyler..this is a gorgeous Cadillac I love the styling just so cool that era car design

Love to see a humble and grateful Hoovie in his interaction with David - very much appreciated Tyler

I love the fact that it polished up well -- very well, in fact -- but it also didn't lose that awesome patina it had. It's absolutely something you can daily drive, but still is a very rare daily driver. You definitely will not run into another one on the road anywhere.

I'm so glad they keep that wacky "try to avoid the bill" gag going. It really is the best.

That is one the baddest looking Cadillacs I've ever seen!!!!! Those guys did a great job on the detailing. Don't ever sell that car!!.... that's art on wheels!! Love the channel 🇺🇸👊😎🇺🇸

That caddy just looks amazing, and I can tell that Stuart totally wants to steal it! And you know, I love that your channel now, with all the separate plot lines and characters it's like watching a really good soap opera. Long may it continue. X

Great to see the Alex Xydias So Cal advert and the George Barris Kustoms advert in the Motor Trend mag, two special guys I’m proud to have met.

That Cadillac is awesome. Stuart's enthusiasm for his work and the cars he works on is genuinely infectious. Wish everyone could be that passionate about their job!

Are you kidding Tyler? How can anyone not see the absolute beauty in that Caddy! I love it and so ahead of its time as a fastback. The mods are perfect and just make a great car even better.

This Cadillac is probably one of my most favorite Hoovies Hoopties

Seeing the Cadillac again at the end it is absolutely jaw droppingly beautiful!!!

To be honest that is not a hooptie that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Congrats Tyler and you deserve it so much

I love the direction you're going, quality over quantity. The exotics were interesting, but way out of reach for most of us average folks.

I love the addition of Stuart to the channel…. Along with Car Wizard (and his crew), Urination Bob, and the Car Ninja I love the camaraderie on this channel…. Thanks Hoovie!

That is one of the best 40 year old resto-mods I have ever seen. Like you said, there is real craftsmanship in what was done to that car. Glad you are using it and enjoying it. That is what that car was made for.

The Cadillac is so nice. Came out really well.

I can not get enough of this Cadillac. As always amazing job Van Gogh.

"but I bought it because I loved it" That's why we watch, Hoovie. Keep the passion!

Always nice when the classics are maintained and driven by enthusiasts. Museum pieces are cool, but it's better when machines are operated for all to enjoy! 😎

Seeing this car being actually driven and cared for just is an amazing thing, I love seeing the classics actually being used rather than sitting in a garage

Of all the car youtubers, I am really enjoying Hoovie more than nearly all others. Part of it is the audience is appreciating the right things and is not toxic at all, yet not just fanboys. Of course most of it is due to the character of the host as you can see in the relationship with the partners. Keep it up!

Such a beautiful Caddy, well done Hoovie, enjoy daily driving it. When you go to sell this one, I will be very interested to buy it. It'd be perfect to pull my late grandfather's 1949 Chris Craft Custom 20' mahogany boat to cars and coffee, and maybe even to the lake.

I have been watching your videos from the start (S-Class S600) - I loved the content of older luxury or exotic cars which I could afford but not sure if I could live with the maintenance expense... so living vicariously.... resto mods fit into living vicariously!!! Keep up the great content

Man that Cadillac... normally I'm very trepidatious towards resto-mods, but whew that Caddy is so tastefully done you would never be able to guess it was a resto-mod without a bit of knowledge. The seats and steering wheel fit so well, and the engine I'm sure is that sweet spot of power of being classic-feeling engine without being quite as old or anemic as the '49 (probably not sweet on the MPG, but who can begrudge it for that). Love seeing it in videos, I can 100% see it being an amazing daily driver as well just for its comfort and the presence the vehicle has.

You knocked it out of the park with this Caddy Tyler, absolutely beautiful!

Outstanding series.... It's not just an old Cadillac It's a former car of the year.... Might be a path to explore, I know I'd watch and 👍 I am sure you be Smiling and Cruising with your family the rest of the summer.

videos like this make me really wish hoovie would pull that mustang out for a few episodes.

You CANNOT not love such a car! Those old Caddy are just so cool! Also, that Miata is a keeper! Looks like new!

That Caddy is Gorgeous!!

The '49s are probably my favorite Cadillac designs. This car is just beautiful!

The Caddy is a stunner! My first Miata was a 1991 (which replaced a 1968 Triumph) and it was a joy to drive , and yours is a beauty! I am on my third MX-5 (2016) now and they are great!

Love seeing such cool classics getting restored like this. Such a beautiful car 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

bravo Hoovie. my favourite car you've saved so far. so beautiful and oozing class. I'm jealous. enjoy that beauty. and congratulations to Stuart too. he brings such enthusiasm and joy to the world of cars. 👊

Wow that Cadillac looks amazing. They did such a good job on the paint.

I’m no real fan of American cars as I live in the Uk… However the Cadillac makes me go weak at the knees , it’s stunning to look at . It’s beautiful in every aspect .

That Caddy isn't a car, it's a piece of rolling art. Beautiful.

Definitely the best car you have presented since I have been watching your channel. I would daily drive it to my job as a math teacher if it was my car. With all the steel involved in the Caddy it is a safe ride too. Power and Luxury combined in a unique looker. It ticks all the boxes for me. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That Cadillac is *the* perfect car. Stylish, quick, comfortable, usable. What a machine.

That Cadillac is just so amazingly gorgeous and I love how everyone that sees it agree.

What a beautiful car! The guy that customized it did a great job!

Love seeing honest working guys like the guy at Van Gogh getting his spot in the limelight, does amazing work and always tries to go above and beyond. Hoovie is lucky to have found guys like him, Wizard, Car Ninja and so many more. Not to discredit Hoovie but half the reason I watch this is because of those guys. I's like a perfect combination of Wheeler Dealers, Chasing Classic Cars and Top Gear. Ofcourse not structured in the same format but combining the spirit and vibe of those shows all together.

i like how stewart says "yeah". plus the work he did on that caddy and the miata looks amazing. yeah.

I just absolutely love this Cadillac man. Such a beautiful car and now the paint just pops. Just beautiful 😍

YES love the Cadillac! Congratulations on such a neat find.

Those older cars from a bygone era when cars had style just look so much better than most modern day cars do, and you just don't see them on the road much anymore.

Beautiful fast back Caddy, and classic old grocery store. The Car Wizard is always good to see too!

That is truly one stunning looking automobile.... Well done to you Hoovie 👍👍

I had a 49 Cadillac series 62 I bought it from a lady in Los Angeles, 1979 in surprisingly good condition, first year for the 331 cid OHV engine, I reproduced the "burlwood" dash, after going to the library and reading all the books on "burlwood", reproduction", and practicing for 2 weeks, I was surprised how well it turned out ! Beautiful Car. Thanks

A simply gorgeous machine. It's pretty much a museum piece. That Miata is pretty mint, too.

I live in Australia and am a Ford guy, that would like to say that Caddy is Beautiful! I hope you hold onto that automotive piece of art and keep it in the family forever.

I started my channel based on Copart many years ago. I was doing Copart before Copart was cool.

Oh wizard! He id such a nice guy and i love him! Keep up the great videos tyler! I know freddy bought the pimp my ride van from you...... but the reaction of the wizard to the car was AMAZING!

That Cadillac is so clean and beautiful enough I'd never get rid of it, it's like a slightly modernized retro time capsule good find man

Wow! Surely a pinnacle of automotive craft and art on multiple levels. There's a real "sense occasion" travelling in this, even if vicariously via video. As for "arrival impact", it probably trumps any high status contemporary car. Just beautiful.

Such an amazing car. From an era gone by. Could you revisit the car with hopefully another example with the original engine? Just for comparison. Down the road that should be fun. Then viewers could see and appriciate the mods that were done along the line.

I agree the 49 Cadillac is still at the top of the heap! One of my favorites was the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. Oh yes you guys remind me of Laurel and Hardy.

Very nice Video, as the recent owner of a 1947 Buick Sedanette with a similar body style its very similar to the way yours is done . It has a Buick 455 engine with a TH 400 and Ford 9 inch rear. Doing a lot of work to it and your Video has inspired me even more . Thanks ..

So glad we didn’t have to wait on the results! It looks amazing!

the miata is super nice, the caddilac is GORGEOUS. Enjoy them :-)

Love the look of the car.

Everytime I see one of those fresh detailed cars, I think this really is a kind of art form. What an amazing job!

The 49 is the nicest, most stylish and relatable car for your audience. It looks amazing and I'd love to see one like it in person one day

such a boss car

I have to agree with all the enthusiastic comments and praise for this car. Up until now I have not been a cadalac fan, you have changed my mind completely. All the best from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦.

Absolutely gorgeous Caddy! Cars like that are the reason I got into cars years ago. And the Miata….time capsule and the captured fun of my young days. Thank you for always having such great cars to share with us!

"So you put some air in my rear air suspension there?" TMI

nice

love watching the guys work in the background.

Hoovie, make sure you have the hood hinge greased. If it gets stiff, that long hood makes it way too easy to bend. It already looks like it's bowed up in the middle. 12:18

Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

Tyler, I can't begin to tell you how much I love this Caddy and also your Chevy Wagon. Stewart is proving time and time again that he and his team are consummate pros. I can't imagine that 503ci being easy on gas? Maybe this winter, have the Wizard do a modern LS 4 fuel injection swap. Go from 8 mpg, to 35 or more. New rubber would be a safe thing also as a daily driver. Much success with the 49. Thank you for buying her, and sharing her with us.

Please keep this car for a while. Its absolutely beautiful! I could look at this car all day. One of the nicest looking cars ever imo. It looks so sinister and villainous

The guys you are working are such good people!

Damn - last time I was this early my girlfriend got mad at me.

First

Not only does it look good, but it runs good. Smooth, quiet, cream-puff on wheels.
