1961 Caddy 2 door bubbletop Factory A/C Time Capsule

Up for auction is our original unrestored 61 Cadillac DeVille.   This Survivor is in incredible condition for a 53 year old car.   It was sold new in Pueblo. Colorado which is a very dry climate that reall preserve this car from corrosion.   The original owners kept the car for 40 years until it was purchased by a Cadillac collector in Denver.    It has been in Denver since and has never been offered nationally for sale until now.   Original cars are getting difficult to find and are so much nicer to drive then restored cars.   Seems like original materials and parts work nicer than reproduction parts giving original cars a better overall feel.

This Cadillac maintains its original paint and interior.   The body is very straight with just a few very small dings.   The paint has been well maintained and still shines well.   All of the stainless trim is beautiful with no blemishes along with all of the chrome plating.   Even the plated pot metal trim parts are perfect with no pitting.   Most impressive. is the intricate front grill and its condition.   It is simply beautiful along side of its original T-3 headlamps.   The original color coded wheel covers are also in near new condition and look great going down the road.   The wide whitewall radial tires are in great shape and offer a smooth and quiet ride. while the original bias ply spare is still unused and in the trunk.

The interior is stunning.   The seats are all original with non faded or stained leather and cloth.   The carpet is worn and I would say it is the weakest part of the whole car.   Its nice. but is starting to show its age.   The dash on the other hand is absolutely perfect.   The gauges all work and are crystal clear.   All of the chrome trim is perfect with no pits.   The dash pad is still soft and un cracked. it truly looks new.   All of the switches have a crisp feel and work like new.   The steering wheel looks like it was just installed at the factory.   All of the glass is original and perfect with LOF markings and dates.  

Under the hood is like the rest of the car. beautiful.   All original and unrestored showing only light wear.   All of the gold cadmium plated hardware is still bright.   The original glass washer reservoir and glass refill bottle are perfect and in place.   The firewall still looks fresh and has white chalk numbers on it from the assembly line.   The original Air Conditioning system is very complete and works on R12.   The mechanical side of the engine and drive train is perfect.   The engine runs smooth and quiet with NO major leaks.   The transmission is also smooth and shifts like it did when it was new.   As reliable as this car is. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country.  

If you are looking for a beautiful tail fin Cadillac that is in incredible original condition. then this is the car for you!  Its very enjoyable to just look at in the garage but when you get behind the wheel is when you fall in love.   Please call with questions at 303 475-8610.   I have been an ebay member since 2000 with 100% positive feedback. So you can be assured I have described the car in full honesty.   Its in amazing condition for a 53 year old car. but its not perfect.
