1959 Cadillac DeVille

Original 390 V8

59J

Clear

Just out of long time storage in a dry clean garage. Was going to be a personal restoration project but life got in the way. Best that this 59 Cadillac find a home with someone that can and will enjoy it. The engine runs great. Engine looks very clean may have been rebuilt, but difficult to say. All under hood seems to have had some restoration work on it. When it was last out of the garage, the brake system was rebuilt. The car has sat a long time in the garage, so I suggest that the brakes be inspected. Fuel system is all checked out and the car starts runs and drives OK. I have a short video I can share the link with you if you want to see it running and driving. The car has the usual standard Coupe DeVille accessories and does not have Air Conditioning. Color code is 24 Georgian Blue Metallic with a code 20 Breton Blue top. Interior trim code 43. The 5 tires were new when put on the car and still had the "blue" white wall protectant on them when we took it out of the garage. All the glass is good and is original E-Z-Eye Safety Plate. The car is an original California "Black Plate" car sold new in Califonia. The body is quite straight and solid. The typical rust in the bottom of the right front fender can be seen in one of the photos. In addition, the driver side floor has rust along the transmission tunnel, likeley due to a bad heater core or control valve allowing the carpet to be wet, thus rusting the floor. Inside the trunk looks great and some of the original cardboard panels are still there. Under the spare tire there is some rust repair to be done. The rockers and floor supports are very good. Rear lower quarters are also very good. The car can be inspected by appointmnet in Napa Ca. I have found new homes for many collector cars for a long time. I hope I can help find a good place for this Cadillac. You can call 707 287 7506 or email me with questions. I prefer email because I would rather be playing with great old cars out in the shop. Expect me to contact you when the numbers are getting close. I want to know who is bidding at all times. If you do NOT have your funds ready, please do not bid!On Mar-08-13 at 14:06:49 PST, seller added the following information:Just wanted to thank everyone for bidding. Looks like the 59 will soon find a new home. The reserve is just about to be hit, so I think the car will go. Certainly if I had acepted the 14 that was offered, it would have gone, but then all you guys that hope to get it through the bid process would not have had this chance. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
