Today we have two classic luxury machines. While both need work they are very salvageable beasts. There are some very good deals to find with a four door. And what we are really doing is putting features against each other; Suicide doors vs. Fins.
First up is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! priced at $5,000. While it claims to be a solid car, it needs cosmetic and mechanical work to be great again. That being said all the electrics claim to work and there is new upholstery.
Second option is a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! priced at $4,800. While it is not my preferred 1962-64 era it is still a very cool machine. It has suicide doors. It does have a normal CL description though, or in other words, just about zero about the car. All we know is it needs "tlc". But seriously, suicide doors.

I'd take the Caddy cause I could easily make the money back from restoring it by hiring it out for weddings and rockabilly photoshoots

Damn! Tough decision... two of my favorite oldies that I hope to own one day. I fell in love with the fins when I was 15 (I'm 31 now) so I'd have to choose that by a small margin. Plus, I think I'd be more satisfied with the caddy out of the box (or off the 'List) whereas the Lincoln you could really do a lot of work to customize it, and therefore spend more money and time.
On a separate but related note, I've decided that whenever I do finally get my own old caddy or lincoln, it's going to be a convertible because that's the only way to cruise in those!

Looks like all the glass is present on that Caddy. Probably 2 grand right there. Body work is relatively easy. Larger upside with it.
However, that era Caddy is way too showy for me. I'd go with the Lincoln.

The "Cattle-truck" for sure. The Lincoln looked the same for years. the C evolved over time. Don't get me wrong, I owned a 62 Cattle Truck and a 65 Lincoln. Both fine cars.
