1946 Cadillac Club Coupe - 2door Fastback Coupe
Original Southern California car exported a few years ago.
1970 500ci Cadillac Engine mated to a recently bought new TCI TH400 transmission, ith low rpm new toque converter
Body straight with no dents. Paint was a high end job back then, uite thick with clear coat on top but shows minor wear & small cracks at some places up close inspection, round doors/windows and mostly on the hood center trim.
Overall decent paint but now show car level.
Interior seats have been recovered & new springs installed when the car was restored. Seats show minimum wear & age and no tears or holes
Here is a list of upgrade/maintenance items done since I owned it.
All electric temp-controlled SPAL cooling fans (four of them). Engine runs cool even when stuck in mid-summer traffic heat.Fans are running mostly at 50% of the speed - very quiet operation.The fans are variable speed temperature controlled using the SPAL Pulsed RPM fan controller and there are 4 independent controllers, ne for each fan.
High flow Flow-cooler water pump for more cooling at low rpm.
Recently installed high density copper radiator.
New 140Amp high power alternator to power all the fans and more.
New starter changed a month ago (Nov. 2015)
New engine and transmission rubber mounts
CD player and high end floor speakers (easily removable if necessary)
Installed a new master cylinder a few years back and did regular brake fluid (DOT 3) changes.
New rear end axle shaft oil seal, nd wheel seal. No axle oil leaks.
New front wheel bearings, ecent service with new drum shoes, earing grease packing.
K&N air filter (washable)
The spare tire has the same tires bought when mounting the current tires.
Two cherry bomb mufflers create a deep and powerful rumble of an exhaust sound..
Recent service includes grease-up of king pins, hassis, teering box grease, ew rear axle oil, ngine oil, il filter, ransmission oil and filter.
Wipers are non-functional
Key can lock/unlock the door lock but on driver side only.
Chrome parts are decent but show some minor pitting and light rust in various areas - no show car but okay from 10 feet.
Re-chrome if you whish but hard to see anything from the usual distance onlookers will admire this classic Art Deco beauty
This is a car you can drive and enjoy without the hassle and costs of maintaining a 70 years old, nder-powered and overheating drive-train & generator/regulator electric system - in today's traffic.
The engine has plenty of torque at low rpm, he exhaust sounds great but the car looks totally classic from the outside, ith original wheels and period correct tires.
Apart from the engine, ransmission and cooling the rest is original and fairly easy to maintain. Brake shoes are easy to get new on Ebay.
