<p>I have been so crazy busy the last 2 months I have had little time to get my 64 out and do some real driving, but yesterday was Dino's 60th Birthday and had to <strong>clear the other Cadillacs and Make Way for The Golden Cadillac! </strong></p>
<p>Our driveway is tight and with 3 driver Cadillacs (2002 & 2013 Excalade, 2022 XT5), and a parts car in front of my garage getting the 64 in and out can be a challenge. After moving the 2 EXT's my wife Cheryl and I probably put 25 to 30 miles…</p>

After moving the 2 EXT's my wife Cheryl and I probably put 25 to 30 miles on Dino, looping around the area, visiting my brother, and just kicking the tires in honor of 6 decades for this cool care! <strong><br/> <br/> I hope you got a chance to read the newsletter, or will make time. I tried to dig a bit deeper in my Dino Milestones Part I article. As noted, Dino Milestones Part II will hit the newsstands, March 19, 2029! </strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Just popping in to share a bit about my 5 day road trip to from North Carolina to Illinois topick up parts car #59, a 1963 Four Window Sedan de Ville. I had recently driven 16 hrs 15 minutes straight by myself from Texas to NC after our CLC Winter Board Meeting and told myself I am going to make this trip easier and spread it out since I needed to travel 918 miles each way, not to mention get the car loaded and secured to car hauler. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Backing up a bit I had parted out 58 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs since 1997, usually parting out 2 to 4 a year. In 2022 I brought in 3 parts cars back to back which sort of overwhelmed me, not to mention I had been working to complete a house addition to my 1912 Queen Anne Home (my other passion. I have also been consumed with having as much of my fasteners accumulated over the years gold cadmium plated. (I have now had about 3,300 lbs plated!). Last year was the first time in 26 years I had not brought in a parts car. You might say I was chomping at the bit to bring in #59!<br/> <br/> So, the first leg of mystery trip took me to Xenia, Ohio just outside of Dayton. That was about a 7.5 hr drive. 3 Days into my trip and looking back I now know that was the right choice as it is a great stopping point for destinations further North. It is a very nice small town and my Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel was right o the interstate. In fact I will be staying there again tomorrow night on my trek back home.<br/> <br/> Yesterday, I made it to Bloomington Illinois, The trip from Xenia/Dayton to Bloomington was about 4 1/2 hrs and 300 miles. Compared to the first stretch it was a very easy cruise. My 2nd stay over was in Bloomington for 2 reason. The first reason was to: take Chapter Members Logan Robb a transmission and grill. Logan is a regular on our monthly Zoom meetings and good customer and Chapter member and it was good to meet him and his dad in person. He is also the one that turned me on to this parts car so I have to give a big Shout Out and Thanks to Logan!!!! Second, Bloomington was just off the interstate on the way to my final destination, Plymouth, Illinois, and put me with a couple hours to the car. <br/> <br/> Today I left Bloomington around 8am and arrived at the parts car in Plymouth, IL around 10:30 am and was back on the road by noon. It is some of the most picturesque farmland I have ever driven through. Siri on my iPhone took me down this secondary farm road that connected two state roads and knew I would have to stop and get some pictures on the way back with the car in tow. I made it back to room about 2:30pm and am here on laptop sharing a bit of my journey.</p>
<p>I have made 3 legs of my 5 leg trip and am looking forward to getting back home. I have about 400 lbs of cadmium to go through that I had just got in, and now a 5000lb/5000pc parts car to dismantle.</p>
<p><br/> Anyway, That is my story and am sticking with it. Below are a few pictures from the back road in Illinois with my 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT 'Et2Brute' Pulling Parts Car #59. </p>

<p>Hi all - this question is actually about the brakes on my 57 Fleetwood, but it is drum brake related, so I hope for guidance.</p>
<p>The car has sat for about 8 weeks (as it has in the past), but I have had to move it every morning for the last 3 days for some backyard work, and the brakes are locked every morning.

<p>The car has sat for about 8 weeks (as it has in the past), but I have had to move it every morning for the last 3 days for some backyard work, and the brakes are locked every morning. I rock back and forth with the gear selector, and I get a tad of movement. Eventually, they free up, and the car moves, and it seems fine. I park the car - the next day, the same thing happens. Is there a part that can be affected by sitting, even though I have not seen this problem with these brakes in this car before? I get it with the 64, but it's only as it initially drives, and a quick flick to reverse, and it's all good. I know this is a trait of drum brakes that sit, but as I said, it has never happened before with the 57 and not so bad the car will not move.</p>
<p>thanks,</p>

<p></p> On The Road Again For Parts Car # 59tag:6364cadillac.ning.com,2024-02-01:6543066:Topic:3700022024-02-01T15:53:18.534ZJason Edgehttps://6364cadillac.ning.com/profile/jasonedge

While it has the typical Northern rust on the big body panels there is a ton of other parts to salvage. <br/> <br/> Here is a summary and and screen shot of my long parts car trip. If anyone is in route and needs a big item like a gas tank, windshield, etc. let me know by end of day Friday and we may be able to make it happen. I will already be transporting Logan's transmission and grill.</p>

Gentlemen,<br />
I’m have a bit of a hard time removing the interior chrome windshield side moulding trim necessary to remove the dash pad. I’ve removed the screws, but the trim does not seem lose and I don’t want to force it. How do the chrome pieces actually lift out?

<p>I spend considerable time these days blocking, deleting and reporting spammers of all sorts on Facebook and I was just thinking it is getting to the point people have better use of their time and will start to move away from these "free social media sites" if they don't get this under control. With over a billion people on Facebook, and the ease to share content and for it to be seen by the masses, many of use just deal with it but the "dealing with" is getting more and more cumbersome. I still think it is a great way to keep up with family and friends, but the cost to engine on that platform is starting to wear people down.</p>
<p>This is one advantage of having our own, 100% controlled website. There is a slim chance a spammer can get in if they tick off every single box in trying to imitate a real CLC & Chapter member, however, they will be quickly removed. Just another reason I will be turning more and more to our website to engage our members going forward. </p>
<p>Just to finally add, this is one reason I would never, ever create a Facebook "Group" where I have to admin people that sign up as members, and instead use a Facebook "Page" to advertise our Chapter. I do have replies turned on with our Facebook Page but at some point may turn that off.</p>
