I just bought a 58' Cadillac Contsellation and was wondering if I should keep it or let it go. First one Ive ever seen for sale (actually found it behind a barn in the weeds). Interior is gone of course but it has all the original hardware including Cadillac emblems,a nice windscreen and a newer (1960?) 40hp Lark on it. Aluminum hull and a fiberglass top and Big Big fins. Looked on line and only saw 2 others like it so I think its kinda rare. I've got 2 other boats that I'm trying to re-do, but I'm thinking this might be a keeper. Any thoughts?

It looks to be in awfully rough shape, the interior is shot and you are already restoring 2 other boats.My opinion is that you should let it go. That said when can I pick it up? Kidding of course

I'd say it's a keeper and a nice find.

You can barely see the top of that '58 Evinrude Lark peeking over them. Love it! Paul Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
