This '41 Cadillac Series 60 sedan showed up recently on CraigsList. It is not that far from me, as it's located just south of Gilroy, about a one hour drive. This is a model that I have admired for a very long time. I had gone to look at a '40 LaSalle sedan earlier this Spring, and I thought that it would be a good idea to take a look at this car. These don't turn up that often, so I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

This process has been a bit unusual, because these events are happening almost in real time.
I started this job almost two weeks ago. I first posted about the repair last week. I had started the process at the beginning of the week that I posted. The car has been up on jack stands all this time. A couple of days after I posted, I was still trying to install the passenger side upstream oxygen sensor.

Or at least for next year's registration.
As I said earlier, the CEL lit up on the dash. However, the car seemed to run as good as it ever has. I continued to drive it until I swapped places with the '06 to put a new set of tires on it. The CEL went out on it's own before I made the switch.
Thoughts after watching American Graffiti.
While I was out of town on a weekend get a way, I attended two automotive events, a Cars and Burgers, on Friday afternoon, and a fairly big car show on Saturday in Sonoma.
Later that Saturday afternoon I watched American Graffiti on DVD.
I've seen this movie numerous times, but I still enjoy it. But this time I had a different take on it.
