Vehicle Description
Geneva concourse winner. This car is striking and the quality is
extremely high. From a collector that only has the best looking,
most striking cars of the 50s. When he says he wants to sell a car
I immediately get excited in anticipation to find out what he
has.
EXTERIOR: I never use the word flawless but I've literally walked
around this car twice trying to find any sort of flaw in the paint
and I certainly didn't see one. It is absolutely laser straight and
it is polished out like a red mirror. I am sure it was every bit of
$20,000 to paint this car. The chrome is all show quality. Door
jambs are painted real nice. Upfront the bumper and the big
bullets, headlight bezels, hood ornament is like a mirror. The gold
anodized grill and emblems are pristine. The moldings down the side
of the car are replated. In back the bumper, emblems taillights are
mint. The moldings around the windshield are polished, windshield
is new. The convertible top is white and in excellent condition,
the rear window is clear. Right now the top and windows are up,
they fit real nice. There is new weatherstrips around the doors and
the top has new, correct cloth wrapped rubber. To ad even more
bling it has a set of Cadillac chrome wire wheels with big fat
radial whitewall tires.
INTERIOR: The first thing I look at inside these old Cadillacs is
to see if they paid the extra for leather or if they got cheap and
went with vinyl. This one is all glove soft leather upholstery on
the doors and seats. It is in excellent shape, has the correct
patterns. Cushions in the seats real good and firm. The dash pad is
reupholstered. The instrument area all the way across to the glove
box is beautiful. The chrome sparkles, gauges are clean etc. The
carpet is the correct very short loop and there are embroidered
floor mats.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is meticulously detailed. The inner fenders
and firewall are painted gloss red. The core support and bottom of
the hood is done in a smooth satin finish black. Under the hood he
has the correct insulation pad. The motor itself has a clean coat
of Cadillac blue paint. The nuts and bolts, fuel pump and filter,
pulleys etc are all new looking. All the components look clean and
proper. It has power steering, brakes and windshield washers.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The huge trunk compartment has been completely
lined in the proper red material. They did a meticulous job, it
looks great. Has a big white wall spare and the jack. Jamb and
under trunk lid is painted, new weatherstrip. Also included is a
shop manual and awards.
UNDERSIDE: Very respectable. The floors are rock solid. Cadillacs
left the factory with sound deadener on the floors. The frame and
suspension parts have no rust, not even pits. They are a smooth
satin black. The exhaust is quite with mufflers and resonators.
Front end has been gained through. Bottom of motor and trans are
clean. Shocks have been replaced, new brake hoses.
I will also say this collector that had this car keeps them in
fabulous working order. It functions and drives beautifully. If
this car doesn't impress I don't know what will. Its shear size,
colors and quality combines to make one hell of a statement!
