1956 Cadillac DeVille Special Gold Trim Package

Forget the stock market invest in a fun classic. When my daughter was about 8 yrs old she rode in this dreamboat and would say: " Daddy I feel like a princess " as she waved back at all the people as they were waving, giving thumbs up, honking and saying what a beautiful ride, need I say more about the magic allure of this car ? Ok if you must be a stickler here are the details. Was # 18 in the GM 100 yr parade in 2008. Is an awesome rare find survivor with only 30k miles. Loaded, power everything, a/c and even gold trim package. Gas tank has been professionally rustproofed inside and out, radiator recored, carb rebuilt, fuel and water pumps replaced, wheel bearing seals replaced, brakes redone, bumpers rechromed and stainless steel exhaust. Yes the radio and clock still work and yes that really is Barbara Eden's signature on the owners manual. Has some minor issues just like you would after 62 yrs and you could only hope to look this good at that age. Front drivers seat leather has some stitching opened with some seat area rips. Some pitting in pot metal trim, some rust stains in headliner, original paint has some chips and scraches. Gas gauge works when it wants to, power antenna needs cable, power steering needs seals, same with a/c, Rear bumper end cap has crack. Overall the vehicle seems 99 percent rust free. You'll kick yourself if you miss this one, so don't come crying to me if you're too late. Elvis has left the building and Leno already has way too many cool cars so this may be your chance at obtaining some celebrity status on the cheap. This car even helped inspire the creation of the Duke of Wheels persona and his many car tunes as evidenced in this video ( https://youtu.be/C1lHoNG2SHg In video please note on shoulders of black tux the crescent shape chrome pieces and see if you recognize where on 56 Caddy they are from. In fact if you can correctly identify all the brightwork on both outfits and shoes and from where on each vehicle it came from I bet Hemmings will give you $15 million ). If by some miracle this magnificent machine does not sell it is rumoured that two Chevy Bolts and a Cadillac ELR will be sacrificed and their electric drive guts, batteries and some of the ELR interior will be used to convert this beautiful beast for the electric future. I'm sure you don't want all those murders on your conscience now do you ?
