Pink Caddy in garage
"Yaay! Now for a Pink 57 Caddillac to go in that garage!"
For me, it'd have to be a '58. '57 is nice, but '58 is "da bomb" and not quite as overdone as a '59. And it would have to be a Fleetwood Sixty Special

Bethannn, once you finish her room, it will be a room with a view for sure. Now, I personally advise against the vintage food Robert suggested. Might have to take a vintage visit to the ER.

TOO FAB!
WOW!!! Showroom new is an understatement, this baby is downright FABULOUS in that PINK!!! Gotta love the styling and the "spiked" pull-handle, and like everyone said, the Cadillac of fridges!!! You did an outstanding job on it, congratulations!
Too bad they didn't make the '59 Custom Imperial range in Pink...definitely the '59 Cadillac of ranges, IMHO, but we won't go there...;-)

Bethann,
A real beauty; love the freezer door "Toematic". If I ever find pink W/D of the appropriate vintage, consider them yours!

Bethann, amazing fridge! Look at all those interior doodads and accents.
It looks like it has that heft of earlier fridges where the doors didn't intrude into the storage area, but it has that modern rectangular design. Neat!
So....did it ever come in turquoise?

Darrel: If you ever found the matching W/D I'd have to fly to CA and kiss ya!
Austin: Where is the 59CI? If it's in that box, you guy's need to unveil her/ him! Your driving everyone nuts!LOL
Cory: The only colors that the 56 came in that I know of are White, Yellow, Green and Pink.

Glady's Pretty Pink Complexion
Bethann:
You mentioned that you painted Gladys. Did you take it to a body shop? Was she electrostatically painted? Austin wants to get some of his washers painted, and aside from an auto body shop, I'm not sure where else we would take them.
Whoever did the paint (was it you?) did a fantastic job. Congrats again!

I should say "we" did the paint. I had help on this one. I didn't want to take a chance this time. I don't recommend electrosatic. I tried that a couple months ago and it turned out like crap! So, we painted her conventional. Made a make shift paint booth in the garage and went to town. I learned a good lesson though! Do not paint epoxy unless you are in a booth with a down draft system! The fumes were enough to rip your head off. I will not do that again!
As far as Austins things are concerned, I would take them to a body shop. I'm sure their porcelain and need to be acid etched first, and if you don't have the equipment it would be to costly anyhow. Then he would have to learn how to use it! So, with all that aside call body shops and get some prices. If he takes everything apart so they don't have to do much taping it shouldn't be to awful much. The prep work takes the longest!
