Quotes
"He restored his first car when he was 15 - it was a Chevrolet. Then he went on to restore old Cadillacs. It was a passion for him." Virginia Davis, Donald Carrico's fiancee
"He would restore cars and then he would keep them for a time and then sell them and get more cars to restore. It wasn't a commerical business. It was a lifelong love for Cadillacs. He had been working on a 1941 Cadillac and a 1952 Cadillac. He also had a 1963 that is ready to drive." Virginia Davis, Donald Carrico's fiancee
