1954 Cadillac Other -- Description

YAZTEC AUTOMOTIVE IS PROUD TO OFFER THIS ONE FAMILY OWNED, RUST-FREE, AND IN ORIGINAL CONDITION FOR SALE. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM AN ESTATE IN WEST VIRGINIA WHICH SPENT ALL ITS LIFE. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR HAVE HAD ONE RE-PAINT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND AND STILL LOOKS GREAT. THE MOST AMAZING PART OF THIS CAR IS THE CONDITION OF THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS GIVEN FROM THE HUSBAND TO HIS WIFE IN 1958... ( SEE PHOTO OF THE ORIGINAL TITLE DATED BACK TO 1958), AND THEN SHE GAVE IT TO HER SON. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SO MANY YEARS. THEREFORE, THE SON TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO MAKE IT ROAD WORTHY. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, SOME OF THE FRONT END WERE REBUILT. ALL HOSES, FUEL LINES, FUEL PUMP, GAS TANK, WATER PUMP, AND BRAKES WERE ALSO REDONE. THE RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED OUT. THIS TOOK ABOUT 2 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE OWNER PASSED AND THE ESTATE PAID FOR ALL THE REPAIRS AND OFFERED IT FOR SALE. WE PURCHASED THIS CADILLAC FROM THE ESTATE. WE HAVE A CLEAR WEST VIRGINIA TITLE N THE NAME OF ONE OF THE EXECUTORS OF THE WILL WITH A NOTARIZED COURT LETTER TO SIGN FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER. ALSO, WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL SALES CATALOG AND A WORKSHOP MANUAL FOR THE CAR. THIS CAR LOOKS, RUNS, DRIVES, AND STOPS GREAT.

THE PAINT IS ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD AND LOOKS GREAT FROM 5' AWAY. IT SHOWS WELL BUT HAS SOME MINOR CHIPS, SMALL SCRATCHES, AND VERY LIGHT BLISTERS ON THE HOOD. YOU HAVE TO REALLY LOOK HARD TO SEE THEM. WE CALL IT A VERY GOOD DRIVER QUALITY PAINT. THE BUMPERS LOOK GREAT FOR MOST PARTS BUT THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT THE CHROME IS A BIT WEAK AND THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR BUMPER CORNER PIECES ARE FLAKING. THE STAINLESS STEEL TRIM AROUND THE WINDOWS, MOLDINGS, AND DOOR HANDLES, ETC. ARE IN AMAZING CONDITION. ALL TINTED GLASS AND LIGHT LENSES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL FLOOR PANS, TRUNK PAN, INNER AND OUTER SILLS, OUTRIGGERS, INNER FENDERS, THE BUMPER MOUNTS, AND THE FRAME ARE RUST-FREE. THE FLOORS ARE COVERED WITH A RUST PROHIBITIVE COATING THAT LOOK VERY OLD. INTERIOR: THE ORIGINAL CLOTH INTERIOR IS NEAR MINT CONDITION. WE WERE TOLD THE SEATS WERE COVERED WITH PLASTIC COVERING UNTIL ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. THE SEAT COVERS, DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER, DASH TOP, DASH BEZEL, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS THE BLACK CARPETS WERE REPLACED SOMETIMES IN THE PAST AND LOOK LIKE NEW. THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM DOOR SCUFF PLATES HAVE SOME WEAR. THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN WITH EASE. THE REAR PACKAGE TRAY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MECHANICAL: THE ORIGINAL REBUILT ( MATCHING NUMBER) 331 ENGINE STARTS IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME. IT RUNS LIKE A WELL OILED SEWING MACHINE, RUNS COOL, AND PERFORMS WELL. IT DOES NOT LEAK OR SMOKE. THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WELL.

THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR HAS A LEAK. THERE IS AN "O" RING BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR AND THE PUMP ITSELF. WE ARE TRYING TO LOCATE ONE BUT DO NOT PROMISE TO FIX THE LEAK. THE DUAL EXHAUSTS ARE OLD BUT FUNCTIONAL. THERE IS AA SMALL RATTLE WHERE ONE PIPE HITS THE FRAME. THIS CADILLAC IS SO NICE THAT IT DESERVES A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM.WE ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THEIR AGE.
