Being offered up for your consideration, AT A LOW RESERVE,  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.  How many could be left? 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 we 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, hubcaps, tail lights are not unique to this model and can be acquired easily.  Some already have been located here in Arizona.  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 the exterior stainless trim 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.  For more pics please contact be direct at az1pappabear@cox.net.  For questions, I can also be reached a 520-296-7559.  I you would like, a personal inspection of this car can also be arranged for you or your representative.

Winning bidder must make contact within 48 hours(2 days) of auction ending.  A non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 must be received within 72 hours (3 days) of auction ending.  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.

Cadillac Ciel concept features in Entourage trailer

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Some of us may miss HBO's Entourage more than others, but one way or another, it sure had some cool cars. The characters on the show were constantly trading between Astons, Maseratis and Ferraris – not to mention a smattering of Benzes and Escalades – but one of our favorite sets of wheels from the show's entire eight-year run was the 1965 Lincoln Continental featured in the opening credits. The vintage parade car undoubtedly provided the studio with a great way to showcase the camaraderie between the four members of the title crew, but also made us pine for a time when you could actually get your hands on a four-door convertible. Unfortunately they just don't make 'em like that anymore – not the car and not the TV show in which it featured – but fans of both will be pleased to watch this latest trailer for the upcoming Entourage movie. Not only does it include all the members of the original cast, but it also features Detroit's latest (and arguably most stylish) attempt at reviving the four-door cabriolet: the commandingly elegant and achingly desirable but sadly unobtainable Cadillac Ciel concept of 2011.

2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper

Wed, Nov 8 2017

The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.
