My Day In the Junkyard

["piper_pa20" <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went to Peninsula Auto Wreckers this morning to pull a couple of parts 
from a 1983 Eagle wagon (258/auto).  After messing around with it for 
awhile, I toured through the yard and saw the 1963 Cadillac 4 door which had 
come in earlier in the week.  It was back in the corner and as I approached 
I noticed it was sitting on a 1964 American 2 door.  At first I thought the 
American was a convertible because the top had been cut off and the 
windshield frame had been crushed by the Caddy. I knew someone on the list 
was looking for a convertible back seat, so I asked the yard guys to move 
the Cadillac and found that the only things worth saving were the two front 
bucket seats.

The car was a 2 door hardtop.  Emblems were missing but I think the 2 door 
hardtop was only offered in 1964 as a 440 series.

The seats are weathered but certainly rebuildable.  So I got those and a 
couple of straight side molding pieces which had been thrown in the trunk. 
Nearly everything else on the car was unusable except perhaps for driveline 
parts.  (196/auto)

I also got the Carter AFB carburetor from the Caddy.
