An Original Cadillac: OPGI’s 2023 SEMA Showcase

Original Parts Group (OPGI) proudly presents a stunning 1966 Cadillac DeVille that will be showcased alongside Dalton O’Neals ’67 Cutlass in our booth at SEMA 2023. This remarkable Cadillac belongs to OPGI customer Jared Anderson, whose journey with this classic beauty began in 1996.

A Glimpse into History

Jared Anderson stumbled upon this gem at a classic car dealership in Pleasanton, California. The car had just been sold by its original owner, who, sadly, passed away shortly after parting ways with his beloved vehicle.

Preserving Originality

From the moment it came into Jared’s possession, his mission was clear: to protect the 1966 Cadillac’s originality and historical significance. Every decision and repair was approached with great care to maintain the car’s authenticity. To address essential repairs required to keep this classic roadworthy, Jared entrusted the skilled and highly respected Mike Thaxton, owner of Born Again Restoration in Henderson, Nevada.

Born Again Restoration Sets the Standard

Mike Thaxton and his team at Born Again Restoration have earned a distinguished reputation in the world of classic car restoration. They are notably the top choice for many members of the Cadillac and LaSalle clubs when it comes to preserving and repairing their Cadillacs.

OPGI Components

Mike Thaxton has a well-established history of turning to OPGI for vital components and parts in his previous classic car restoration projects. When it came to restoring Jared’s Cadillac, Mike sourced the necessary parts from OPGI. Our commitment to providing high-quality, precise restoration components aligns seamlessly with Jared’s vision for an original Cadillac.
