1956 Cadillac Sedan deVille - 9,874 Original Miles You are looking at an original, garage kept mechanical jewel from another era. I am the second owner of this wonderful car and I bought it in 1973 with 7,744 miles on the odometer. As you can see, I've only driven it 2,100 miles in 42 years. During this time the car has been in a climate controlled garage and driven and started regularly. This lovely lady was originally purchased by an elderly lady in Washington, D.C. She sold it to me as she was losing her ability to drive safely and as you can see from the mileage she drove it hardly. The evidence of her failing ability are the scars the car bears on its right front fender and right rear quarter as she attempted to navigate her one car garage. The scars were never properly repaired from when she damaged it over 50 years ago. This treasure is original in every way; paint, interior and engine. Below I will list only the things that have been repaired or replaced. It is a very short list. The car is so original it even smells like the 50's and my childhood sitting in cars of this vintage. Look at the chrome, switch gear, seats and headliner. They are like new and untouched. If the car needs anything it is some paint work and use. I have not driven it because I thought the value would continue to increase. Sadly, this has not been the case. My delay in using my treasure is your gain. She really does need a new owner who will be willing to drive her, show her and love her. The reserve is very reasonable given all this car has to offer. She can be driven anywhere. It drives as good or better than the day it was delivered. Happy bidding! Items Repaired/Replaced1. New Battery 2013 (see photo)2. Carburetor Rebuilt 20093. Transmission serviced 9,300 miles4.
