1955 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
Exterior: two-tone Code 84 Goddess Gold body with Code 90 Alpine White top.
Interior: Trim Code 65 Gold V-Pattern Metallic Nylon seat and seat back inserts with White Leather bolsters.
Complete and mostly untouched car still wearing its original upholstery and what appears to be the remains of its original paint.
Code K Trunk-mounted Factory Air Conditioning with vents on package shelf.
Car is wearing a damaged, different color hood that is not fastened to the hinges, but the engine compartment looks like it has never been touched.
The rest of the body is in reasonably good shape except for the crashed driver's side door.
Engine and drivetrain condition are unknown, but it looks like it's all there, including all Air Conditioning components, Bendix hydraulic amplifier power brake booster, and even the glass windshield washer fluid jar.
X-code Power Window Regulators and Horizontal Seat Adjuster
Equipment Group including Autronic Eye and Fog Lamps. (Dor-Gards and License Frame lost to time)
All moldings, emblems, etc., are still there, inside and out.
Dealer decal still visible on trunk.
Clean Utah Title.
Surface rust on undercarriage but nothing major. Frame looks solid as do suspension and drivetrain components.
Rust-through is present, however, on rocker panels, rear fenders, and of course the bumper ends which always corroded because of the exhaust being routed through them.
This is a great candidate for restoration. Not an easy one because they never are, but much easier than if it had been taken apart or otherwise messed with. Here the fact that there are no parts missing is clearly visible. You can document disassembly and know for sure how to put it back together.
Good-looking enough to be a candidate for a patina-look sympathetic restoration. Other than a major mechanical overhaul and cleanup, just repair the hood and driver's side door and you could have a time-worn driver that will turn a lot of heads thanks to its originality.
Car is located in a storage warehouse in the outskirts of Houston, TX.
Reasonable offers considered.
