This is a very clean extremely desirable classic and way beyond cool! This Cobalt Blue Metallic on light blue interior Cadillac Coupe De Ville is ready for summer. I'm looking to sell this standard of excellence cruiser! It's well maintained, it has a very straight body, and it runs extremely well. Email me to set up an appointment if you are local to Miami or for more details. Slideshow of this car: http://s65.photobucket.com/user/hardcorebob/slideshow/1955 Cadillac Coupe Deville The good: A little over one year ago the car was completely painted to a hue closely matching the original color of Cobalt Blue Metallic. The original paint is no long manufactured so we had to pic a color that was close as possible. The paint is in great condition with only small flaws from driving it to local car shows and cruises (rock chips and minor scratching). While being painted many of the larger chromed pieces were also sent out to be re-chromed. This included the front bumper, rear bumper, door handles, hood ornament, and the trim rings around the head lights. The only issue with these pieces is the rear bumper ends which the previous owner attempted to replace rusty metal via welding and did a very poor job. These ends are hard to find so they are still in the condition as I received them when I purchased the car. The 331 V-8 engine is the original engine and runs very well. It has been converted to unleaded gas and the rear main seal was changed at the same time. The original transmission was rebuilt and has approximately 2000 miles on it. It shifts very well and has no issues whatsoever. The original A/C was gone thru and is fully functioning and representative of a car from 1955. A new electric windshield wiper motor with new arms and blades were installed when the original vacuum system gave out. I did keep the original parts in case a switch back was in order. A new master cylinder and brakes were installed when it became clear the one's on the car were not up to the task. You can stop confidently now with no issues. It has been tuned up, the carburetor works great, and it does not smoke or use oil. This Cadillac can be driven with no worries! The bad: Everything in the interior works except the radio and clock in the dash. The radio may work but the previous owner cut all the wiring to it and I haven't had time to reattach them all. The clock most likely is worn out. The windshield cleaning system does not function because it does need the original bottle that has the built in pump. Please contact me with any questions prior to bidding. I will provide any other information that isn't included in this add on request as well. If shipping is involved, I will get the vehicle to the designated pick up point here in S. Florida as quickly as necessary. I do have this vehicle listed locally and other websites, so this auction could be pulled at anytime. The reserve is set at a reasonable level based on the condition of the car and it's exclusivity. I would like $25,000.00 and I will listen to any reasonable offers at anytime. Thanks for bidding!
