West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely
exceptional and great daily driving and completely rust free
example of this mostly all original 1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville 2
door Hardtop in a beautiful two-tone 'Dusty Rose over Silver' color
paint and with a gorgeous condition 'Silver Brocade Pattern Cloth &
Black leather' broadcloth interior with factory specifications and
options including power steering, power brakes, power windows,
heater and defroster, 6 way power seats, original radio, back-up
lights and it's original 365/300HP V8 engine!
The 1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville was priced only some $200 less
than the Series 62 convertible of the same year and was one of the
highest priced cars of its day - and with good reason - fifties
excess had virtually reached its peak with Cadillac boasting bigger
cars with more chrome and larger fins than ever before! These cars
bristled with the latest in modern appointments and had few rivals
in the luxury market with a recession making owning one only for
the very privileged elite.
Obviously always garaged and well maintained. The floor boards,
trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and
rust-free and the car has no signs of any accidents - obviously an
always cherished 'Garage Queen' since new. The car has very
presentable two-tone color paint and a beautiful two tone 'Silver
Brocade Pattern Cloth & Black leather' interior which is in
exceptional and in mostly completely original specification
condition throughout. All the chrome is also in absolutely
exceptional condition.
The 365 V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds
absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely
magnificently - must be driven to be believed - does not miss a
beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no
strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily
driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money! The
transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car has four
good tires and its original factory hubcaps!
Please note that the car has a reassigned VIN number from its
original issued by the CA DMV which matches the car's title and
which we understand to be due to its original VIN tag having been
reportedly mistakenly removed from the door jam during its
restoration. Quite possible and not an unusal event due to the
extremely fragile nature of the VIN plates attached to the door
jams of Cadillac models of this period.
All the options work as they should including all the power options
and the car boasts its original spare wheel and jack in the
truck.
This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving example of
a mostly completely original 1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville in very
fine condition throughout!
