1937 Cadillac FleetwoodSeries 70 Transformable Sedan You are looking at a very original, Unmolested Cadillac. This is a two owner vehicle that has spent its entire life in Southern California. The Original owner purchased the car and drove it locally around the Riverside area. The car was then used by the owners daughter to drive to and from college while attending USC in the early 1950's. After graduating the car was used sparingly and eventually parked at the family property in Riverside.The second owner (Paul) purchased the vehicle in 1976 and relocated it to his home in Pacific Palisades, Ca. with plans of a complete restoration. In late 1976 the car was taken to L.A. Metal stripping where all body work was done in preparation for new paint. The old photo showing the car with red primer is from 1977 when the car was brought home from the body shop. The engine was removed in March of 1978 and taken in for a complete tear down and rebuild. Some old original photos are included in the ad of the engine tear down and the completed rebuild before being placed back in the car. The engine was started and Paul drove the car approx. 4 miles before being parked in his garage where he was planning to continue the restoration. With two young children and a demanding Career Paul never got back to the car. It sat covered in his garage until May 2013, when it was relocated to my garage. My neighbor and I agreed to put it back together and get it in running condition so it could be sold and Paul and his wife could have some free space they haven't had in their garage for years. The following is a list of work done to the car to get it to its present state. -Fluids changed -Gas tank removed professionally cleaned and dipped, some fuel lines replaced, other lines flushed and cleaned. -Brand new exhaust (muffler and tail pipe) -Brake fluid drained, Replaced and bled -New battery, Battery cables and coil -Rust removed from running boards and patched with new metal and are stronger than when new -Wheels blasted and painted with new (1980's) tires mounted. Tires were in bags stored with the car and preserved. -We lightly sanded the body and shot it with black primer.

There is several banging or hammering sounds before the starting of the car, That is me being a little too aggressive pumping the gas pedal. Those of you familiar with old 6 volt systems know you must pump the pedal several times before starting. Also while doing the walk around of the car I mention the glass is missing from the speedometer and clock in the dash. The other dash that accompanies the car (pictured with spare parts) has all the same gauges with glass intact. This will provide for a complete dash. Thank you for all the questions and comments.
