Sort of interesting I haven't heard anything about this yard for years and there was an obvious reason. I grew up on a farm 15 minutes from this location but had left before this yard got going. I have some cousins who live close to it and I remember them commenting on how tidy this guy kept his yard with the grass always cut and the cars parked in somewhat of an order. I remember him advertising in the Old Car Trader and such a few years ago. Hopefully the right person will be able to come along and continue the source it has been.

Only out west could this happen. What a great spot to keep these cars. We easterners have no such luck due to the tin worm.
If a guy wanted to make a living stripping down and ebaying parts off these cars you could make it. If you have enough money to hang on til stuff starts selling.

At first glance I thought this blog was referring to Classic Caddies at Port Sydney near Huntsville. This is the first I heard of this gentleman in Alberta with his Cadillac specialty place. Interesting, thanks for the link!
