1953 Cadillac Other Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS A TRUE SURVIVOR 1953 CADILLAC TWO DOOR HARDTOP THAT IS VERY
CLEAN AND SOLID. NEVER BEEN CUT ON OR BUTCHERED IN ANY WAY! THE LAST TIME THE CAR
WAS REGISTERED WAS IN 1975. CAR WAS PUT AWAY IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE FOR
33 YEARS WITH 68,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT.
AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND CLEANING YEARS OF DUST OFF, IT WENT UNDER A MILD RESTORE.
FIRST MOTOR & TRANS FRESHENED UP ALL SEALS & GASKETS, HOSES, BELTS, CARBURETOR
REBUILD, AND RADIATOR CLEANED & CHECKED. THEN UNDERCARRIAGE CLEANED & PAINTED IN
POR EPOXY. NEW BRAKES, BRAKE LINES, SHOCKS, EXHAUST & GAS TANK HOT TANKED AND
PRESSURE CHECKED. BODY THEN WAS SANDED AND REPAINTED IN FACTORY TWO-TONE PAINT
BUT A LIGHT AMOUNT OF PPG PEARL ADDED TO JUST GIVE A LITTLE MORE SHIMMER IN THE
SUN; UNDER THE 3 COATS OF CLEAR. CAR BODY NEEDED NO RUST REPAIR. WAS PAINTED ONLY
DUE TO FADED PAINT. THIS CADILLAC IS SOLID.
NEXT WAS INTERIOR, AGAIN THE ORIGINAL WAS GOOD BUT SHOWING AGE. SO SEATS, HEAD-
LINER, CARPET, DOOR PANELS, GOT NEW FACTORY MATCHED MATERIAL AND COLORS. ALL
WIRING AND RADIO NEEDED NOTHING, AND EVERYTHING STILL WORKS LIKE THE DAY IT CAME
OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. DRIVES NICE AND STRAIGHT- NO SQUEAKS OR RATTLES! LIKE THE
SAYING GOES- "DRIVES LIKE A CADILLAC, NOW I GET IT!
NEW TIRES ALSO WERE INSTALLED, AS WELL AS DOOR SEALS, FELT & BATTERY. GLASS IS CLEAR
AND ORIGINAL. THE ONLY THING AT TIME OF RESTORE THAT WAS NOT DONE WAS THE
BUMPERS AND NOW ARE SHOWING AGE. IF YOU TRULY WANT A 100% CAR YOU CAN SEND THEM
FOR CHROME, BUT THEY STILL POLISH UP NICE SO THAT WOULD BE A PERSONAL JUDGMENT
ON NEW OWNER.
WELL IN CLOSING SOMEONE IS GOING TO OWN A VERY NICE CADILLAC THAT'S READY TO ENJOY
RIGHT NOW!
