1931 Cadillac 355A Convertible Coupe (vintage roadster street rod classic)

1931 Cadillac Other Description

Up for auction is the opportunity to own an awesome piece of all original vintage american automobile history. This is a 1931 Cadillac 355A convertible coupe. I am selling this car for a friend who has recently inherited it from his fathers estate after he passed away. The car is an older restoration that is believed to have had just one repaint. It had previously sat untouched in an enclosed building for the past 7 years prior to me bringing it home. When it was inherited in 2014 the car had a professional appraisal done by East Coast Classics that named the car in non running and driving condition "due to sitting for so long" appraised at $75750. I will include the appraisal with the purchase of the car. Since that time the the fuel system and ignition system have been gone through and the car now runs, drives, and stops very well. The car has a unique history to it as it was a featured vehicle in the 2004 Miss America parade pageant in Atlantic City NJ (still maintains the participation sticker on the wind shield).
