Description for Cadillac Other 1959

1959 Cadillac Series 62 SedanGreat driver with some work. Unfortunately, don't have the time, pace, r funds to keep going with this project.
Options:
A/C (in place but non-working)Power Windows (only one window goes up and down)Autronic Eye (untested)
The car is in solid shape, nd would make a great driver with some love. It is a project, ut one that can be driven and enjoyed while it is worked on.The car originally came from Louisiana.I have had quite a bit of work done in the two years that I've owned it. I have receipts for more than $10,000.00 of work. The original engine was rebuilt by Fitzgerald Automotive in Beacon Falls, T this past fall. It has about 800 miles on the rebuild and is still being broken in. The transmission was rebuilt by Barrett's Transmissions in Cherry Valley, Y. The brakes were done by the shop in CT, long with the rear end. They also dropped the gas tank, leaned it, nd painted it. Bearing in the steering column just replaced. It runs, hifts, tops great.
Here is a list of the work done this past fall:

Most of the work it needs has to do with the body and power options it has. Only one window goes up and down. The others do not work correctly. The chrome window frame on the drivers side window has corrosion and should be replaced. Two of the side windows are broken (flat glass). The windshield is also cracked. Replacements are readily available for both the side windows and windshield. The window rubber is old and cracked and needs to be replaced. The dash has a split in the vinyl in the center as the photos show. There is some pitting on the glove box. The steering wheel is present, ut worn as shown. As is common with this year, he horn ring is broken. The car came without a radio originally, ut I have a radio from another 1959 Cadillac that can go with the car- it is ready to be installed. The radio was rebuilt by a shop in SC. Dashboard gauges do not work.The upholstery is old, ut in decent shape with no tears. It was likely redone at some point. The headliner is black and has no tears. The paint is in decent shape generally, ut is showing its age. Originally a white car. At some point it was repainted black. It is presentable from a distance, ut has defects such as small scratches, hips, ubbling, nd it is a bit thin in places. The chrome does have some pitting. The tires are 2 years old, nd have seen very little use. The original hubcaps are in the trunk. Four wire hubcaps (probably from a 1970's Caddy) are currently on the car.The trunk is not lined- the lining was removed at some point in the past so it is exposed in there.
