CADILLAC : 1947 SERIES 62

Description

UP FOR SALE, THIS PARTIALLY RESTORED 1947 CADILLAC SERIES 62. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY OUT OF CALIFORNIA. THIS CAR WAS LAST ON THE ROAD IN 2011. I FOUND THIS CAR IN SOUTH BOSTON, IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRAME ON THE CAR IS SOLID, AT SOME POINT IT WAS UNDERCOATED BY THE FACTORY OR THE DEALER. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE REFLECTIONS ON THE PAINT, IT STILL HAS A NICE SHINE. ( IT'S BEEN REPAINTED ). IT DOES HAVE SOME SCUFFS, CHIPS, AND SCRATCHES ( I TOUCHED MOST OF THEM UP ), AND A FEW PLACES WHERE THERE IS MINOR SURFACE RUST, EASILY FIXED WITH EFFORT. I DO HAVE TOUCH-UP PAINT AND A CAN OF CUSTOM SPRAY PAINT MADE FOR THE CAR THAT WILL GO WITH THE SALE. IF YOUR NOT A PERFECTIONIST, THE CAR PAINT LOOKS GOOD AS IS, I WOULD LEAVE AS IS. THE CHROME ALSO IS IN DECENT CONDITION, HAS SOME SURFACE RUST, PITTING AND DINGS, BUT STILL HAS A NICE SHINE. THE REAR BUMPER IS SOLID, BUT CHROME NEEDS ATTENTION. THE TRUNK HAS ORIGINAL CLOTH COVER, SPARE TIRE PIT IN NICE SHAPE, TRUNK LOOKS BETTER THAN PICTURE. THE GLASS ON THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE, NOT MINT, BUT NO REASON TO REPLACE. ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN AND CLOSE AS THEY SHOULD. THE INTERIOR ALSO IS IN GOOD SHAPE. SOME CLOTH IS ORIGINAL, SOME I REPLACED, NO RIPS OR TEARS IN SEATS. I REPLACED THE FRONT CARPET WITH A CUSTOM MADE PIECE. I KEPT THE ORIGINAL CARPET UNDERNEATH. THE REAR CARPET IS ORIGINAL AND IN NICE SHAPE. THE HEADLINER IS IN OK CONDITION, NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING. THE DASH, GAUGES AND STEERING WHEEL ALL LOOK GREAT. THE CAR IS MISSING ONE FENDER SKIRT AND WINDOW WASH BOTTLE. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP, GOES INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE SMOOTHLY. THE LAST OWNER PUT A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP INTO CAR. THE ORIGINAL PUMP IS STILL THERE IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE BACK. THERE IS A TICK COMING FOR THE ENGINE. I HAD A CLASSIC CAR MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD IT HAS A STICKY LIFTER AND TO PUT MYSTERY OIL INTO IT WHICH I DID. HE SAID THAT MAY LOOSEN IT UP IN TIME, (I NEVER PUT CAR ON ROAD). THE BRAKES WORK AS THEY SHOULD ALSO. THE CAR ALSO HAS A NEW BATTERY I JUST BOUGHT. OVERALL THE CAR IS IN NICE CONDITION. THE CAR CAN BE EVEN NICER THAN IT IS WITH A LITTLE T.L.C. AND ELBOW GREASE. WINNER OF AUCTION RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING. A $500 DEPOSIT MUST BE MADE TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF WINNING BID. THE REST CAN BE MADE BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR A POSTAL CHECK WITHIN 7 DAYS OF WINNING BID. THIS CAR IS FOR SALE ON OTHER VENUES, AUCTION CAN STOP AT ANY TIME. CAR NEEDS A GOOD HOME !
