1951 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD SERIES 75 LIMOUSINE

Being offered up for your consideration. AT A LOW RESERVE.  is a 1951 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limousine. also called a 7 passenger sedan.   Out of a total production of Cadillac's in 1951. GM only made 1090 of this model of Limousine. style number 7523.   How many could be left? They came with a 160 horse power. 331ci V8 engine and a 4 speed Hydra-Matic transmission.   Even after 60 plus years this car still has it's number matching engine and transmission.   Paper work has been found that puts this car in Tucson. Arizona in 1979 and we believe it has spent its life in Arizona.   No rust found anywhere.   Nothing better then an Arizona rust free car.

Looking at the pics you can tell it is now a restoration in progress.   A complete professional restoration was started about 10 years back.   About two years into it. health and money issues came up and the restoration stopped.   For the last 8 years this car has been setting. covered up. in a climate controlled storage area and is just now being offered up for sale.   During the restoration and storage time we have found that some parts have came up missing.   The missing parts. bumpers. hubcaps. nbsp;tail lights are not unique to this model and can be acquired easily.   Some already have been located here in Arizona.  The engine has not been started recently but it does turn easily by hand.

The work that has already been done on this car is nothing short of perfection.   The body has not been off the frame but everything connected to the body has been removed. cleaned and painted like a mirror in black.   Every area of this car. under hood. nbsp;under the trunk. door jams. dash and even the drip rail areas have the same deep deep shine as the main body.   A capital "EXCELLENT" is the only word to express the quality of this paint.   No orange peel anywhere on this car and you can't miss the depth of the shine in my pics.   It reflects everything in the garage.   There are although. nbsp;2 chips and a small area on the bottom of the driver side rear door that will need paint touch up and repair.   Along with all the paint and body work that has already been done. comes a complete set of new tinted glass and a new set of 4 electric window regulators to replace the original hydraulic style used in those days. (All hydraulic parts are also included)  Another costly part of this restoration. that has already been completed. is all 30 plus pieces of the exterior stainless trim have all been professionally straighten. if needed. and show polished.   The brakes and hydraulic system. along with all the wheel bearings have also been redone.   New tires and exhaust system are also included in the already done items.   Not sure what the total dollar amount already invested in this car is.    I can say for sure. the paint job alone would cost you between $15. 00 and $20. 00 today.   A lot has been done. a lot is left for you. finish it your way and have a really special ride.
