1954 Cadillac Fleetwood Description

FANTASTIC 1954 CADILLAC SERIES 75 IMPERIAL DIVIDER LIMOUSINE. THIS IS A RARE CAR WITH ONLY 611 PRODUCED, THIS ONE IS #377, ONE OF 10 THAT ARE REGISTERED ON THE PLANET. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 1954 WITH EVERY OPTION AVAILABLE INCLUDING FACTORY AIR, POWER WINDOWS, AUTO DIMMER, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FACTORY REAR TINTED WINDOWS, DIVIDER WINDOW AND FACTORY ORIGINAL WIRE WHEELS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT FROM DAY 1 AND HAS ZERO RUST AND THE STRAIGHTEST BODY I HAVE EVER SEEN.
IT WAS PURCHASED BY MYSELF 17 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE LOVED IT AND PAMPERED IT. THE SEATS ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND ARE KEPT REAL NICE. THE FRONT SEAT IS PERFECT AND THE REAR SEATS ARE STILL NICE. THE PAINT WAS REDONE ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IS STILL HOLDING UP WELL WITH JUST A FEW BLEMISHES HERE AND THERE. THE WIRE WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL, THAT'S RIGHT NOT REPRODUCTIONS AND IN 1954 WERE A SERIOUS PRICE OF $325. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE LOST SOME LUSTER THEY ARE STRONG AND SAFE . THE FACTORY AIR WAS $620 (AS MUCH AS A USED CAR) WAS REDONE AND WORKS. ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK INCLUDING THE MAP LIGHT. THE DASH, STEERING WHEEL AND AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE CLOSE TO PERFECT. ALL OF THE POWER WINDOWS WORK AS WELL AS THE DIVIDER WINDOW.
THE CHROME WILL NEED TO BE REDONE BECAUSE I RE DID IT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT THE GUY ( ALL BRITE METAL IN NEWARK N.J. ) DID A TERRIBLE JOB AND IT FLAKED AND PEELED. I WAS SO PISSED. SOME OF THE CHROME LIKE THE FOG LIGHT HOUSINGS, THE TOP GRILL BAR AND GRILL AS WELL AS THE HOOD ORNAMENT STILL LOOK VERY GOOD. THIS CAR WITH ALL THE OPTIONS WAS CLOSE TO $7000.00 IN 1954. ONLY THE WEALTHY COULD HAVE AFFORDED THAT.
CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT WITH 5 NEWER 4 INCH WHITEWALL BIAS TIRES. ORIGINAL 331 ENGINE SOUNDS GREAT WITH NEWER EDMUNDS CUSTOM VALVE COVERS. ALL NUMBERS MATCH.******* ONLY 61.000 ORIGINAL MILES*******
