1957 Cadillac Two Door Hardtop --- Chevy Big Block Powered Yes, this is it. My 57 Cadillac series 62 Two Door Hardtop. I have had it for a few years kind of languishing here unnoticed. I have had guys kind of look at it and ask me why I don’t do something with it. The Cadillac was the old original beige and oxidized. It did not look nice at all. The old re-done interior is not that great and needs to be redone. I had plenty of other cars to play with so the 57 Cad just sat there. Until a couple weeks ago when we decided it was time to clean it up. Here is what it is all about: The Big Block 454 and T-400 were put in it by a father/son car-guy team. Dad was unable to finish the car so it sat there until I bought it and another Cadillac they had. I got a few things done enough so it would run and I could move it around the yard. Then recently I decided to do a bit more work on it so it would be drivable. Then decided to do a little cosmetic cleanup. What you see is a quick two week effort to sand, block, prep and paint the car I found that it at one time had a damaged left ¼ behind the driver door. We removed all the filler, then decided to repair it BETTER that what had been done years ago, we removed the rear window to get at all the area to repair- weld, and seal it up. With all that are apart, we cleaned up the package tray and under the rear seat. Put POR-15 all over all the metal under and in back of the back seat. Made some metal repairs to the rear window pinch molding. So now it is MUCH better to look at and an easy project to play with from this point forward. Lights all work, and ready to drive. RUNS GREAT! The series 62 model has manual windows, but this one has an optional power seat. Of course it has power steering and brakes. The rocker panels are good, trunk floor is very good. The back seat floor still needs repairs. I can do this for anyone that buys the car at additional cost. The California title is in my name. It is clear and in “Planned Non-Op Status” I have guys waiting for me to call them when it is ready to go. I told them they better watch eBay because that is where it will be announced that it is ready to go. If you feel you MUST talk to me you can call 707 287 7506. I am NOT easy to catch on the phone, but it is possible. I am out in the shop playing with cars and dont hear it ring. For all you guys across the water, I have some cars ready for Norway, Sweden, Germany and Finland. I load the containers here up to four cars in a 40 Hi-Cube. I can add this car to one of the loads soon leaving.
