Vehicle Description
From a true Cadillac collector, he had about 10 in his collection.
He owned this car 8 years. Each of his cars is taken to his
mechanic for a thourough inspection. Whatever it needs to be a
safe, reliable driver it gets. We have invoice for a $8,300
service.
EXTERIOR: The car is stunning. The 59 Cadillac definitely won the
battle of the biggest tailfins. How often do you even see one in
person, especially a convertible? The body and paint was
professionally restored at a cost of $10,400. I'm looking down the
never ending sides and it is really straight as an arrow. I don't
see a ripple, everything fits real nicely, there's no bubbling, no
cracking, no scratches, no damage. The white paint is polished out
glossy smooth. Jambs are painted and has new weatherstrips. The
chrome is mostly original standing next to the car it sparkles. The
chrome is not rusted, very solid but freckled. The stainless trim
is straight and shiny. The anodized bullets in the grill and tail
panel are very nice original, none are broken. The taillight bezels
are new chrome. Original hubcaps are in very nice shape, new radial
tires. New white convertible top with new weatherstrips. New top
motor, pump and rams. The top frame was prepped and painted.
INTERIOR: Restored very nicely, looks great in all red. New carpet.
Seats and door panels were previously reupholstered. Dash pad was
recently upholstered. The chrome really sparkles across the entire
dash area- horn ring, knobs, bezels, heater controls etc. This was
an air conditioned car from the factory. The controls are there,
missing some components under the hood. Vintage Air has the parts
needed to make this a working a/c system again.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Engine compartment has been cleaned up and
painted very nicely. All the metal is smooth with a satin black
finish. It also looks proper and orderly. The ignition was upgraded
Pertronix electronics. Hoses, belts, thermostat and coolant were
replaced.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has a brand new, complete liner kit.
Underneath the mat is perfectly clean metal that's been sprayed in
red oxide primer. Bottom of trunk lid and jamb is painted smooth
and glossy, has new weatherstrip.
UNDERSIDE: Looks to be very solid clean metal. Original floors are
nice. Underneath has been repainted black. New dual exhaust, shocks
and rear springs. Brakes were redone, new hoses and wheel
cylinders. Rear end fluid was changed, chassis was lubricated.
Power steering gearbox replaced ($1,052).
If you are shy this car is not for you, it will turn heads and draw
attention anywhere you go!
