Vehicle Detail
Basically, this car is in original condition, The engine was rebuilt 40 years ago and had never started due to a faulty wiring harness. The new looms have been found recently along with all of the trim. The fenders have been chemically stripped and the bumpers re chromed. This is the last V-16 built. Bought by the current owner's husband, 'Bill', in 1961. It had been originally delivered to Hawaii so likely was there when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Bill was one of the early members of the Cadillac LaSalle Club and collected many 38' through '40 Full Classic Cadillacs. He located this car for it's historic value and had it shipped back to Michigan where it has always been stored inside. This an original car in need of mechanical and cosmetic refurbishing.

The fender spears are complete but one seems opposite(?). There is a spare trunk lid and passenger rear door included as those are in need of replacement. I also found the driver's side running board too. There are eight wheel covers included. I believe that I also have a spare tire and wheel. I'm sure that I have the missing headlight trim ring. One hood spring is broken.
