Cadillac : Eldorado driver

1955 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

The car was purchased new in Arlington. VA.  We recently purchased this beautiful Cadillac from North Carolina. It was stored in a garage and the previous owners had the car for over 18 years.  This is what I would call a very solid. pristine driver. It spent some time in Colorado. North Carolina. Ohio and Florida. and has always been garage-kept. I drove  this car briefly. and I have made several cosmetic improvements since.   We do  have extensive history and paperwork. and have added a correct 1955 Eldorado only hard boot.  We will be color matching the boot to the car. When I purchased this car. the last owner had a Hartz cloth snap-on boot cover. so the pinch well trim does have snaps on it. but if you have the boot on it you won't see them.  
Please be aware that what you are viewing in this Auction is a real. and very nice pristine driver. This will probably not win a Hershey 1st place award as it is. However. it could if you wanted to do some minor upgrades down the road. In its present condition it is a exciting driver to cruise around and enjoy .
