[DMCForum] OT - The Big Caddy Roars

["Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went up to my storage place today to wait for the guy to pick up that
1958 Plymouth parts car, and while I was there I thought I'd play around
with the Caddy.

 

I changed the oil, and put a battery in it, and checked everything out.
The only thing not working is the left turn signal, which is probably
just a bulb.  The top goes up and down quickly and quietly.  Very cool.

 

I also dumped a bunch of Marvel Mystery oil down the carb and cranked it
a few times.  On the third crank, it actually started up (without any
pumping) and idled just fine - on 18 year old gas!  The oil pressure was
fine, so I just let it run a little bit.  If it only had brakes, I would
take it out for a little spin.  =)
