Unmolested original 53 Cadillac Coupe Deville, 99% complete. This is a true barn find from S. Calif. Front seat seems to have a seat cover over the original upholstery, otherwise all of the interior looks original. The is some rust in the drivers side rocker and rear fender as shown in the pics, and a fist size hole in the front drivers side floor board. The trunk and the rest of the car look to be rust free. One of the trunk hinges is broken, but is fixable. This car needs everything, but I would guess that it could be turned into a Rat Rod runner as is with some work. The CDV model has the deluxe interior with the chrome headliner and window trim along with power windows, power steering, power seat, autotronic eye, and fog lamp options. I have a clear California title for the car. $12,400 as is. I would consider trades for a early 60's Cadillac or Lincoln convertible in driver condition or ????. I can add cash to the trade. I have approx. (20) 50-53 Cadillacs and tons of spare parts, so feel free to email me if you are looking for something in particular. I also buy key parts, let me know what you have for sale. I'm not looking for a major project and prefer nice original cars.

The car runs, strops and drives now. I've rebuilt all the wheel cylinders, master cylinder and installed new brake shoes. The carb and fuel pump have also been rebuilt. The engine sounds good with no tics and good oil pressure. It still needs a lot of sorting to be put on the street, but its doable. All 4 hubcaps are included now
