Thanks for the kind words Tony. I was surprised for sure. My car is no trailer queen. With the help of this great website I work on it myself. I try to keep it as original as possible but have made some modern improvements for drivability (which were pointed out in judging). Nevertheless, everything works. I guess it's good enough  : )

Thanks Jason. Granddaddy would be proud. He knew I loved his car and would take good care of it. That's why he gave it to me back when I was 20.

This is my grandparents hopping into the Caddy to go to their 50th wedding anniversary party in the early 70's

Hey Kurt, Congrats on the well deserved recognition of a mighty fine 1963 Coupe de Ville. It was great to check out your Caddy and have you up to our Chapter Meet-Up. That is one incredible interior on that car and hope you don't mind if I share a few pictures below. I have also loaded a lot more to our Facebook Page in a photo album with the six 1963/64's at the GN. You can see the album by Clicking Here.

Here's a few of my favorites:

1st up is you and the 63 in matching outfits!

And what about that incredible interior!

And it was nice to hang out for a while during our Chapter Meet-Up

When I got home from work just now, there was a package on my doorstep. I thought "what is this? I am not expecting anything, mis-delivery?" No, my name is on the label. To my pleasant surprise, my car won 2nd place in the Grand National! I did not attend the awards banquet so I didn't know about this. It was my 1st Grand National so I really didn't know what to expect. I had a great time & met some great people (Jason, for one) and recommend attending to everyone. Next time I will take time off from work (If still working) and attend more events.
