1955 Cadillac convertible coupe

Description for Cadillac Other 1955

This is an excellent example of a 1955 convertible coupe, recent Cadillac Grand Nationals show winner (2015 Cadillac Grand Nationals primary division 1st. Place), wned by a Cadillac LaSalle Club National member, egional director, udge, nd Cadillac restorer. This car has won at many local and state shows as well. She was originally owned by a Cadillac dealer in Seattle, ashington.

I have a book of receipts and photographs for all major work done which includes engine and transmission rebuild, epaint with lacquer (alabaster) OEM leather interior replacement, op replacement, rakes, nd within the last two years, rake booster and power steering pump rebuilds, eplacement of fuel and brake lines with stainless, uel tank, uel sending unit, rake components, ertronix ignition and coil, adiator, ater pump, uel pump (incl. electric back up), xhaust, tarter, enerator, arburetor (Daytona), tc. Everything works on this car.

After last year's Cadillac Grand Nationals in New York, e were trailering her back home to Austin and one of the trailer wheels lost a bearing. We unloaded her in New York and drove 300 plus miles to a friend's shop in Pennsylvania so that we could repair the trailer. She never let us down. Everything from the trunk to the engine compartment is show ready and you can still smell the leather. Locals in the Austin area love her for weddings and parades. The tires are also new, orrect bias ply. The glass is original and there are some minor flaws around some of the window edges, little wear on the bowdrill cloth lining of the top (which is only a few years old) and a few minor chips and paint wear as you'd expect from a driving show car. This is a great car without the Eldorado price.

She is currently insured for 85k and she's worth every penny. Call or e-mail me to discuss other details. I live near the Austin airport and can pick you or your assigns up should you decide to come check her out. I can also help with shipping regarding loading and moving the car to a more convenient location for your shipper. One of my restored Cadillacs is now in Holland and another is in Finland and a 29 Chrysler that I built is now in Canada, o I am familiar with international shipping. This car has now won her CLC Senior Badge. I have restored nearly every type of 55 Cadillac that's out there, ncluding  last year's CLC Grand National first place winning Eldorado (cape ivory). I know these cars and this is a nice one. After I sell her I'll be looking for a 58 60 S Fleetwood, 57 or 58 Biarritz, r a 54 Eldorado.
