'56 Cadillac Eldorado Seville


Pretty damn nice original TX survivor - absolutely no rust, straight as an arrow, 100% complete, and running. Perfect restoration candidate. This one has sold.

'59 Cadillac limousine


This monstrous finned chromasaurus was saved in the 11th hour from a date with the crusher. Good thing too! Underneath the TX sunburned paint is a fairly straight body with minimal rust. Windshield and front floors are the two largest areas of concern for this Series 75 informal (non-divider) limo.

'60 Cadillac truck


 Fun concept crudely executed. What started out as a rust free NM 6 window Sedan DeVille ended up as a quirky Cadamino. Unfinished project with a solid platform where the vision should be followed through. Can you say bubbletop..?

'61 Cadillac limo


Series 75 formal (divider window) limousine set against a rising moon suffers mainly from some broken side glass by vandals. All that it took to get this TX Caddy running was a water pump, battery, and points cleaning.

'58 Cadillac Series 60 Special

Vast expanse of stainless and gingerbread draw you in. This is one impressive chromasaurus! Using coupe quarters on a sedan combined with Cadillac's new reverse angle fins created for very loooOong proportions. Adding matching fluted skirts virtually hid the rear wheels making it appear low as well. Although 12,900 were sold, a '58 Fleetwoods is an infrequent survivor.

This particular car belongs to a 94 year old woman who's husband acquired it for her in either '60 or '61. Used sparingly, this 60 Special has logged a mere 54k original miles. Motor has stuck from sitting the last 5-6 years, original navy paint has started burning in blistering TX heat, yet she hopes to slide back into that two-tone blue leather interior once again for a ride before passing over the rainbow bridge.

'59 Cadillac Flattop


Not easy coming up with a solid '59 Caddy under $2500. This SW CO example proves it can be done. Perfect fit for a young budding family on a budget.

'58 Cadillac Eldorado Seville


This dry NM find has a couple non-stock changes (transmission notably) yet is a jewel in the rough. Impossible to find Eldorado specific items are still present. Adding values of those parts together supersedes asking price. It even has the air ride suspension option!

And to think it almost sold to a guy who was going to cut this Eldo apart for the quarter panels. Using this rot-free example to restore a crusty Biarittz is understandable, but cut it up and part this survivor out? Pffft.
