1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

[cheaterslick]

This was an unrestored car, never been apart when I bought it. Beautiful glass, original interior. It's had every bit of rust removed and replaced with handmade, perfectly fit panels; several body mounts, inner & outer full rockers, quarter bottoms, drunk drops, floors. It is 100% steel, zero bodywork, what you see is epoxied & painted steel only. Even the insides of the rockers were epoxy painted before assembly. POR15 entire bottom side, seam sealed inside and out. What wasn't replaced is still in the only paintjob it ever had in the 1960s, original color which is Chantilly Maroon w/Alpine White roof.

The motor is fresh from the machine shop, '57 365, .030 pistons, 10:1 CR, factory 2x4 cam grind, edelbrock carb, pertronics elecronic ign, all new internally and externally, alt, starter, battery, carb, all new. Fresh paint on everything. Brand new re-cored radiator, all hoses and heater hose new. Bendstens adapter and re-built GM 700R4 OD trans, custom driveshaft, new U-joints. New custom 2" exhaust, shortened Smithys glasspacks, exits through bumper as it should.

All electrical is new, Painless deluxe kit, every bulb holder, wire, all charging system, All of it new. All electric windows work great. Fuel tank got the POR tank treatment inside and out, all new fuel lines & hoses.

Blasted, epoxy & painted original rims, new Coker Firestone Deluxe Champion 8.20x15 WWW tires. Front suspension rebuild including trunnion shafts and kingpin kit, all new.
The rear leafs were disassembled, cleaned, re assembled with poly spring liner, 4" blocks (yes, bolts were trimmed after the pic). One coil was cut from each front spring. New sway bar dogbones & bushings. It has a perfect 1/2 drop nose to tail, and not too low.

All new brakes, re-lined shoes, new components throughout, updated to GM 7" booster and GM drum/drum dual circuit master. Stops great, drives great, sounds great. Few dings in the side trim, few pits in the chrome. Drivers seat bottom a little shredded, not bad though. New carpet kit not installed, and some extra bits of stainless I've collected will go with it.
I'm forgetting all kinds of stuff. It's been a massive job. Clean papers, turnkey, PRICE DROP $24,900
