1966 CADILLAC FULL DRUM BRAKE JOB

Finally Road-Legal: The Brake Saga of My 1966 Cadillac

Owning a classic Cadillac is a dream—but getting it licensed in Austria is a challenge. My 1966 Coupe deVille had never been registered here, and the strict inspection standards meant a long checklist of modifications and upgrades.

The Austrian Inspection Checklist
To make my Cadillac road-legal, I had to:

Add rear orange directional lights
Replace T3 sealed beams with halogens (T3 sealed beams are prohibited)
Disconnect side marker lights
Ensure brake and fuel lines do not touch the frame
Pass a full brake test
Pass a full suspension test with zero play
Install a rear-lit license plate holder for oversized plates
Pass the emissions test

The Brake Test Nightmare

By June, I thought everything was ready. The inspector at the state station was friendly and helpful, but the brake test came as a shock—the brakes failed completely.
Back home, I started taking the brakes apart. At first, everything seemed fine, but I soon discovered the culprit: the wheel cylinders were stuck. Years of storage and old brake fluid had taken their toll.
Lesson learned:

LINCOLN MARK III BRAKE BLEEDING

Bleeding the Brakes on My ’71 Lincoln

I refreshed the brake fluid in all my cars this summer, and the Lincoln lost its brakes completely. The cause was a small valve under the front of the car, and the fix takes only minutes once you know where to look.

Bleeding brakes!

THE CADILLAC GRAND EUROPEAN IN MUNICH

28 | 08 | 25 | 15:39 | Filed in: Car Shows | Video

Right after the Cadillac BIG Meet, the driving tour to the Cadillac Grand European kicked off right from Kremsmünster.
It’s a club gathering for all CLC-affiliated Cadillac Clubs in Europe, and it happens sporadically.
This year, the Cadillac Club of Germany organized it in Munich.
We were invited to do the official after-movie for the event once again. It was an awesome event, and we had an incredible week with other Cadillac enthusiasts.
Check out the video to see what went down. Enjoy!

THE CADILLAC BIG MEET 2025 - A FANTASTIC SHOW

22 | 08 | 25 | 15:22 | Filed in: Video

The Cadillac BIG Meet in Kremsmünster was back again this year, and it was absolutely incredible!
I know I’m biased since I’m one of the organizers, but the feedback from the participants was super positive.
A whopping 130 Cadillacs showed up, with visitors from all over Europe and even the USA.
My personal favorites were a stunning V16 from the USA and two Eldorado Broughams. There were so many other amazing Cadillacs from the 30s to the latest models - the meeting is open to all years and models.
One of the personal highlights was a brief visit from friends from the United Kingdom and Latvia at my garage during the cruising tour.

My wife and I made a movie about the meeting, and it’ll be up on the Cadillac BIG Meet website, YouTube, and my website later this year (around Christmas time). I’m swamped with other projects right now, so I’m a bit behind schedule.

Breaking News:

The next Cadillac BIG Meet will be held most probably August 20th - 22nd 2027.

Stay tuned for more details!

ROADMASTER BRAKE FLUSH

10 | 07 | 25 | 15:14 | Filed in: 1996 Buick Roadmaster

Since you should change your brake fluid every two years, it’s time to do it on all my cars. I started with the Buick Roadmaster. I gave it a good flush with DOT3 fluid. It’s an easy job on these cars because they have a vacuum bleeder.

MY "NEW" 2017 CADILLAC CT6 3.0TT

22 | 03 | 25 | 15:09 | Filed in: CT6

II recently got my hands on a gorgeous low-mileage Cadillac CT6 from a close friend. I’ve always been a fan of these last big sedans that Cadillac is no longer making, and I couldn’t resist adding it to my small Cadillac collection as a special occasion car. When I got it, I spent a lot of time cleaning and detailing the car, including a full paint polish and ceramic coating. I also made the engine bay and interior look brand new.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH MY 67 ELDORADO

The Trunk Lid Saga: From a Garage Accident to Arizona and Back
One bad moment in June 2024 destroyed the perfect trunk lid of my ’67. The replacement came from a warehouse in the middle of Arizona, travelled across the ocean in a custom crate and held one more surprise. Here is the story.

THE HISTORY OF THE 1967 CADILLAC ELDORADO

19 | 01 | 25 | 14:05 | Filed in: 1967 Cadillac Eldorado

A Nod from Gary Witzenburg: My Contribution to Hagerty's 1967 Cadillac Eldorado Article

Recently, I had the honor of being contacted by renowned automobile journalist Gary Witzenburg. Gary was working on an article about the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado and, after discovering the research I’ve collected on its development here on my website, he reached out to see if he could reference some of that information for his piece on Hagerty's site.
Gary crafted an incredibly informative and detailed article, which you can read [here]. I’m truly grateful for the mention, and I must admit, it’s a thrilling moment for me as an automotive enthusiast and amateur historian to have my work featured by such a respected platform.
Thanks for the shout-out, Gary! It feels like my own little "15 minutes of fame" in the world of classic cars.
