This cadillac has undergone through extensive restoration. professional body work and new paint.  The motor was pulled out during restoration to change all fluids. head gaskets and oil pan and transmission gaskets. coolant flush. and epoxy paint.  The car runs strong and shifts smoothly. and is rust free. A small rust at the passenger side rear fender was cut out to patch with new sheet metal. The original owner used the car mainly for shows and parades in the state of Washington.  

The following is a list of the major restoration work done in addition to those noted above: 
(1) re-chromed (triple plated) exterior front and back bumpers. grill. moldings. door and trunk handles. emblems. and interior parts.  all the exterior parts have been re-chromed or re- polished. almost all of the interior pieces have also been re-chromed with a very few little minor pieces such as switch buttons were not re-chromed. (2) all new glass for the two front windows and two quarters new window. new felts and channels(3) all new weatherstripping(4) new upholstery for two side door panels. visors and carpeting(5) new stainless steel 52-spoke Kelsey Hayes style wheels that are made in the USA with new wide white wall Coker tires (225s).  
Other mechanical work done included rebuilt starter and generator. rebuilt mechanical fuel pump. new hard fuel lines. new spark plugs and new belts.  The carburetor was rebuilt by the previous owner when I purchased the car.   Also an electronic fuel primer pump was added so the car starts right up.
The car is still 6 volts (actually upgraded to 8 volt) with hydraulic power windows. seats and convertible top.  The 8 volt battery is new and gives more juice for start up.  I am not a fan of hydraulic powered windows or a 6 volt system (especially if you are planning to drive the car much) and highly recommend to convert to 12 volts with electric windows and top.   However if you choose to keep the hydraulics. all the cylinders are new.  I plan on sending out the hydraulic pump to get rebuild so the two front windows. convertible top and seat do not currently work. The quarters are manual.  I can have the car converted to 12 volts and electric windows at the buyer's choice at additional cost of $5k before pick up.  A new top will complete the car. the existing top has about 2-inch long slit at the top towards the back passenger side. The top is in fair condition. nbsp;just needs to be cleaned as obviously a white top gets dirty easily.
The amp meter and speedo works; the fuel. temp and pressure gauges. nbsp;radio and clock do not work.  To see a video of the motor running cut and paste site address. nbsp;youtube. com/watch?v=ynshEUPwbOo.  Any questions please email.
