VA. We recently purchased this beautiful Cadillac from North Carolina. It was stored in a garage and the previous owners had the car for over 18 years. This is what I would call a very solid. pristine driver. It spent some time in Colorado. North Carolina. Ohio and Florida. and has always been garage-kept. I drove this car briefly. and I have made several cosmetic improvements since. We do have extensive history and paperwork. and have added a correct 1955 Eldorado only hard boot. the boot is color matched to the car. We also added new carpet (correct Daytona loop). When I purchased this car. the last owner had a Hartz cloth snap-on boot cover. so the pinch well trim does have snaps on it. but if you have the boot on it you won't see them. Please be aware that what you are viewing in this Auction is a real. and very nice pristine driver. This is an exciting driver to cruise around and enjoy .
