NEW CARS FOR ME!





God did the biggest surprise blessing in my life! Two new cars in one day! A buddy in Portland traded me this one of a kind 2003 Cadilac for some of my coins. The car is low mileage and was owned by his buddy the owner of all the "Oil Can Henry's. It has more bells and whistles on it that I can't even begin to figure out how to use. On the way home, Anita pulled into the Howard Huges musuem where they were doing a photo shoot on a 1952 Packard like the one Howard Huges drove. I told them that I would love to own a car like that. They said it was owned by an old man in Arizona who is in serious health and was thinking about selling it on ebay. I asked them to call the old gentleman and see if he would sell it to me! The price was so ridiculously low that I couldn't believe it so I bought it on the spot. They drove it here all the way from Arizona with no problems. It is beautiful and runs perfect with only 10,000 miles on the engine and transmission! The upholstery is perfect and the paint only has a few tiny unoticable chips here and there. Now, I have a super problem of where to put them since my garage already has two cars in it. So now they are in the driveway.
I am posting the one of a kind Chevy Impala that I didn't end up trading for coins. The guy told me it would probably bring about $100,000 on Barrett_Jackson auction, but that was a little too rich for my blood and Anita thought the car was UGLY. She thinks all cars of that age are UGLY!

How about some pics of the inside of that cadi. Like the dash and the bells and whisles.

I'll try a few pics after my camera is charged. Yesterday we found out it even has a lumbar back messager, plus heat in the back of the seat while the bottom of the seat remains cool or hot. Also, we found out that when dew or rain drops get on the windshield it automatically turns on the wipers to get it off and when it is off the wipers turn off automatically. I'm just waiting now for a cup of coffee to pop out someplace!!
