 ???  In my travels yesterday, noticed this Cadillac Convertible (??) and am wondering what it is and why it is sitting in the second row of a transmission repair shop in Hubbard, Ohio.  From the looks of it, it needs more than transmission work.

There were other cars in a row also.  Some day when I get a chance will stop in to see what's up.  There were many others and all were lined up on Route 62, just about a mile south of the intersection of Route 62 and Interstate Route 80. 

I took other pictures (10 total) and will be glad to email them to anyone if interested. There was an older Bonneville convertible, some Chevys, Fords, Mercurys and Lincolns, a Studebaker, Nash Rambler with spare tire on trunk , T-Bird hardtop, others.   There were some others under large tarps, but I was not able to check them out at the time.   The shop owner probably wondered why I was walking around taking so many pictures.   Being short on time, could not spend the time to investigate further.  I did not see any pre-war cars, other than a 1937-1939 Ford sitting by the main door.  It was rusty and had no hood or grille, but I was able to get a picture.

It is a '59 from all appearances, and is either a convertible or a coupe with the top cut off.  It would also be a MAJOR restoration project from the looks of it !!

Start at a young age on this one and have lots of money.   ;D

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
