Description:
1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
Really clean and rare Cadillac. GM only made about 742 of these in 1958, and this is most likely the lowest mileage one that exists. It is very original and unmolested aside from paint, right down to the headlight bulbs. Was just photographed and documented by Collectible Automobile Magazine, and will have a 4 page feature in the next year or so!Check out the original owner's tag under the hood - Cadillac fans will know that this is uncommon to still be there, and even more uncommon to be legible.
Brakes were completely gone through last year, including power brake master, and I just replaced the steering rag joint since the old one was disintegrating. The factory-equipped 3 x 2 barrel carbs underwent a full rebuild and restoration and function as they should.
She runs and shifts as flawlessly as you'd expect with the mileage.
All the stainless trim is in great shape, as is the glass. Front and rear bumpers have a small amount of pitting; I included a close up pic of the rear bumper, the amount of pitting you see is representative of most of the bumper chrome. The paint is very decent but has a few small scratches and blemishes. I'd estimate it at about 30 years old. It still shines up nice as you can see in the pics.
Interior is in unbelievable condition and is all original. All the power windows, including power front wing windows, work perfect; fast and smooth. There is a bit of minor wear to the driver's side of the front bench (see pics) and minor rippling of the dash pad (see pics). The soft top, which I believe to be original, is in fantastic condition.
Tires are older Firestone bias plys.
This is a car that could be left alone and enjoyed as-is, or invest in a little chrome and paint and bring her up to the next level. Everyone loves this car at shows and it will draw a crowd in mall parking lots. I've had it in my collection and enjoyed it for a while now and am ready to move on.
Please ask me questions. The car is never far away so I can take more pictures of anything if you need them.
Clear IL title in hand. Cash preferred. I will accept money order, cashier's check, or personal check, but will not release car or title until any check is fully clear. Deposit is not refundable, so please be sure you actually want the car, and have checked with your spouse/parent/cat/attorney/whomever you need to, before bidding! I can help arrange shipping at buyer's expense or am happy to work with your shipper. OVERSEAS BUYERS WELCOME BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING!! Thanks for looking and have a great day!
