Engine starts fast (6 Volts - not a problem) as it has new copper heavy duty wires from the battery to the rebuilt starter. It runs and drives well. as the engine is tuned and the wheels are aligned and balanced. The Cadillac is a very impressive looking car; the combination of the side mounts and the (non-metallic) dark blue make for a very expensive look. and set it apart form other cars of the era. For judging purposes. this 1940 Fleetwood 60S is considered a "Classic Vehicle". The car  is in #2 condition. as there are some hairline cracks ad also some spider-webbing in the paint. Nevertheless. the car was still awarded an AACA National First Prize in 2011 by a 5 judge panel which attest to the overall neatness. correctness. and completeness of this car. there is some discoloration of the glass at the bottom of the driver's windshield. but it is not in the line of vision.  

Smoke free and garage kept
