October Fall Classic
Lot 2192a:
Description
“The Standard of the Industry”. This phrase was used back in the day when these early Cadillac’s were born. This phrase doesn’t really mean anything until you study one of these classical automobiles. The quality is very obvious over the average autos of its day. Even at a quick glance, it’s the coach works sporty, elegant lines, long 143″ wheel base, the larger chrome headlights along with the larger than normal fog lights that are mechanically hand controlled. The classic chrome trim gracing the body all around, bumpers, radiator shell, stone guard, sitting on top is that wonderful radiator cap emblem. Also the chrome mirrors strapped to the tops of the dual side mounts, and those attractive landau side irons on the back of the auto, keeping with its flowing lines is the angled, folding trunk rack and the strong but delicate sporty bumper. Even down to the smaller items, door latches, guides, moldings, 3 heavy duty door hinges for a somewhat small door, dual wipers when a single was normal at that time. I could go on and on about this auto, seeing is then believing. Now on to the condition; it has an older frame off restoration. Been garage kept and only used on appropriate days. The chrome is still in very good condition along with just about everything else, convertible top, engine compartments, trim, tires look good but not guaranteed. The interior is almost like new except for one small spot shown in photo of corner side trim piece. An easy repair and the owner has a matching leather hide for the repair. The finish has pulled, as back at the time this had the restoration, acrylic lacquer paint was used and it’s known not to have the sturdiness and longevity of the newer urethanes. The pinnacle of the Cadillac engineering and excellence graces this beauty. The car runs and drives as it should. Come on out and see for yourself. The reserve is low. It could be yours!
It is silver and maroon with red leather upholstery. Garage kept and sleeping for the last 30 years. Has side mount tires and a rumble seat. and Lorraine touring lights. Tan canvas top. Clean title. One set of keys. It is an 8 cylinder.
