Got an email from Dan who is helping a friend sell a 1956 Cadillac Deville Convertible.
You are looking at a beautiful classic original 1956 Cadillac Convertible Coupe DeVille that is super powerful and just “flies.” The current owner got it from a friend in the Kentucky area who kept it in a storage container for 6 years. The odometer shows 31833, but it is safe to assume it went around once. The rebuilt Eldorado engine with 2 four barrel carburetors, runs well, but could use a tune-up. New brakes. The bumper area has a squeak you can hear on the video, but goes away when the suspected area is WD40ed–should be an easy fix. Has red paint and white leather interior. Comes with a perfectly working town and country “Wonderbar” radio, including the electric antenna that raises and lowers… The electric top is operational (see video).
The “extras” for this car are amazing:
–> A 1956 car record player (shown in the video) and is including it with this sale.
–> Books: Cadillac Shop Manual, Cadillac Master Parts for 1956, Cadillac Service Bulletin, various pictures and sales brochures.
–> Extra grill and bumper set with almost all of the chrome trim.
–> Spare Wonderbar radio (untested).
–> New (old stock) Spotlight (in its original box) specifically for this car, but never installed.
Note: This car is located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The car is currently up for auction on EBay You can see the car here.
Vinny,
Thank you for the information. Can you have Dan send me more info on the 1956 for sale? It might make a good winter project depending upon its needs and price.
Thank you,
Frank Nicodemus
