Description of 1956 Cadillac DeVille Series 62 Sedan deVille |
1956 Cadillac Sedan deVille - 9,874OriginalMiles You are looking at an original, arage keptmechanicaljewel from another era. I am the second owner of this wonderful car and I bought it in 1973 with 7,744 miles on the odometer. As you can see,I'veonly driven it 2,100 miles in 42 years. During this time the car has been in aclimatecontrolledgarageand driven and started regularly. Thislovelylady wasoriginallypurchasedby an elderly lady inWashington, .C. She sold it to me as she was losing herabilityto drivesafelyand as you can see from the mileage she drove ithardly. The evidence of her failingabilityare the scars the car bears on its rightfrontfender andrightrearquarter as sheattemptedto navigate her one cargarage. The scars were neverproperlyrepairedfrom when she damaged it over 50 years ago. This treasureisoriginalin every way; paint, nterior and engine. Below I will list only the things that have beenrepairedor replaced. It is a veryshortlist. The car is so original it even smells like the 50's and my childhood sitting in cars of thisvintage. Look at the chrome,switchgear, eats and headliner. They arelikenew and untouched. If the car needs anything it is some paint work and use. I havenotdriven it because I thought the value would continue toincrease. Sadly, his has not been the case. My delay in using mytreasureis your gain. She really does need a new owner who will bewillingto drive her, how her and love her. Thereserveis very reasonable given all this car has to offer. She can bedrivenanywhere. It drives as good or better than the day it wasdelivered. Happy bidding! Items Repaired/Replaced1. New Battery 2013 (see photo)2.CarburetorRebuilt 20093. Transmissionserviced9,300 miles4.
