Price: US $15,400.00 SOLD OUT
Wonderful ORIGINAL survivor with ZERO rust -- a Texas car. Just a great car that drives very well. Extremely solid body. Beautiful Azure Blue original color with much original paint. Original V-cloth interior is in fantastic original condition -- very usable and elegant. Good looking chrome and stainless. Engine starts right up with no smoke, runs smoothly with no overheating (runs about 1/4 to 1/3 on the temp gauge). No oil leaks or transmission leaks! Transmission shifts well. Mechanically, it has been gone through a good bit -- new battery, cables, exhaust, brakes (more about that later), plugs, wires and wire organizers, valve cover gaskets, dual point distributor plate, coil, fuel pump, fuel hose, fuel line, carb rebuilt, rebuilt starter, rebuilt generator, new shocks, sway bar links, properly adjusted and serviced transmission (by the best HydraMatic guy in the state), etc., etc. On the brakes, a fantastic job has been done there, yielding much confidence in stopping power: rebuilt/restored power booster (and sleeved to boot!), NEW master cylinder, rebuilt wheel cylinders sleeved with stainless steel, leading shoes grooved as per factory specs, major adjustment done (often left undone by many mechanics/restorers). The brakes are great. New radial tires. Engine compartment detailed and looks great. Very nice car. Like all 55 Fleetwoods, it includes power windows (working), power seat (working), power steering (working), power brakes (working - see above), etc. It also has the optional Wonderbar radio with optional foot-control remote, Autronic Eye, and the all-important AIR CONDITIONING (100% intact, but not presently working). Okay, now the not so great: paint could stand to be redone and to straighten out a number of minor dents and creases. Right rear bumper end is rusted through due to exhaust condensation (typical for 54/55 Cadillacs). A replacement bumper end (imperfect) comes with the car to facilitate repair and replating. Radio doesn't play, clock doesn't run, power antenna doesn't go up and down (but is not stuck). Air conditioning could use some attention. There is a lot of interest in this car, so if you want it, don't hesitate. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.
