A beautiful older restoration that would be accepted at most
concours events and is ready for tours. We love the white livery
with the red convertible top and red leather interior. And the
Saber wheels with Coker white wall radials give it a stunning look!
And the present owner has installed Vintage Air air conditioning
for comfortable touring. This was said to be an Arizona car that
was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction about 35 years ago. It had
been fully restored mechanically and cosmetically. The buyer was a
collector from Denver, CO who enjoyed the car for the next 30
years. For much of that time the car was stored and not driven. The
Cadillac was then sold its past owner, Ron Clubine from Colorado,
who is quite an expert on 1956 Cadillacs. He recommissioned the car
after acquiring it, including carpets, rebuilding the convertible
top mechanisms and such. He also freshened the engine detailing,
which is rather stunning in its current form. The Cadillac now runs
and drives beautifully and looks very nice. The paint is older, but
still looks stunning. It has many areas which have touched up
chips, but the paint shines and looks beautiful overall. The chrome
and stainless are in overall good condition. There are no dents or
dings, but a few of the pot metal parts show some pitting and a few
other items could have been chromed better. The bumpers look
original and are in good condition with only some surface
scratching showing. The carpets are new and in excellent condition.
The red leather is older and showing cracks. There are no rips or
holes, just the cracking from age. The leather is very soft and
supple. The instruments are gorgeous and really complete the 1950s
look for the interior. The convertible top mechanisms are all newer
and work well. The top itself appears to have been dyed red to
match the interior. The top is in good condition with some small
blemishes showing. And the parade top boot fits well to the car and
gives it a custom look. The engine and transmission were rebuilt
many years ago. There is a service sticker from December 21, 1994
when the Cadillac had 103,300 miles. Today, it is showing 26,900
miles, attesting to the fact that this car has been consistently
used and loved through its life. Recently, the Cadillac has
benefited from king pins and the rebuilding of the steering box.
