Being offered up for your consideration is a 1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine, also called a 7 passenger sedan. Out of a total production of Cadillac's in 1951, GM only made 1090 of this model of Limousine, style number 7523. They came with a 160 horse power, 331ci V8 engine and a 4 speed Hydra-Matic transmission. Even after 60 plus years this car still has it's number matching engine and transmission. Paper work has been found that puts this car in Tucson, Arizona in 1979 and I believe it has spent its life in Arizona. No rust found anywhere. Nothing better then an Arizona rust free car.
Looking at the pics you can tell it is now a restoration in progress. A complete professional restoration was started about 10 years back. About two years into it, health and money issues came up and the restoration stopped. For the last 8 years this car has been setting, covered up, in a climate controlled storage area and is just now being offered up for sale. During the restoration and storage time we have found that some parts have came up missing. The missing parts, bumpers, grill pieces, tail light are not unique to this model and can be acquired easily. The engine has not been started recently but it does turn easily by hand.
The work that has already been done on this car is nothing short of perfection. The body has not been off the frame but everything connected to the body has been removed, cleaned and painted like a mirror in black. Every area of this car, under hood, under the trunk, door jams, dash and even the drip rail areas have the same deep deep shine as the main body. A capital "EXCELLENT" is the only word to express the quality of this paint. No orange peel anywhere on this car and you can't miss the depth of the shine in my pics. It reflects everything in the garage. There are although, 2 chips and a small area on the bottom of the driver side rear door that will need paint touch up and repair. Along with all the paint and body work that has already been done, comes a complete set of new tinted glass and a new set of 4 electric window regulators to replace the original hydraulic style used in those days.(All hydraulic parts are also included) Another costly part of this restoration, that has already been completed, is all 30 plus pieces of stainless trim for the outside. They have all been professionally straighten, if needed, and show polished. The brakes and hydraulic system, along with all the wheel bearings have also been redone. New tires and exhaust system are also included in the already done items. Not sure what the total dollar amount already invested in this car is. I can say for sure, the paint job alone would cost you between $15,000 and $20,000 today. A lot has been done.....a lot is left for you.....finish it your way and have a really special ride.
I am sure I have forgotten something important to you as a bidder, so please ask any and all questions you feel necessary before bidding. Glad to answer them and more pics are also available.

Unless other arrangement have been made, the balance due must be paid within 7 days of auction ending and bank cleared before the car can be shipped or picked up. The only exception would be if the buyer wants to pay cash at time of pickup. NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
