  1. I have a Series 62 in the same color but I prefer the interior fabric in the 62 series over the Deville and I bet his trunk isn't as nice as mine Ha ha I just finished it last week not factory waffle pattern but nicer IMO, Persian Sand is the color most guys that are in the market want , but 65k a little high. Aftermarket radio and the carpet is showing some age,If the mileage is correct 50 to 55K but you never know....
  2. There was a 57 Caddy up for Auction in Calgary on Autohunter, the gentleman selling it provided the name of a shipper I got a quote to SLC that was reasonable, but Utah is a little bit away from Florida. Here is a link to the auction in the comments is the contact info. https://autohunter.com/Listing/Details/43579987/1957-Cadillac-Series-62-Coupe-deVille
  3. That looks like about a half hour job just to polish that grill! I hope that was a facetious remark ha ha, you have to be committed to 40 plus hours not including removing the headlight assemblys to do the extensions under there. The other problem is you can't just do the top surfaces, because the underside of each blade reflects off the top portion of the blade below, a friend in my area disassembled his grill completely which is a much bigger job but with much better results
  4. If the aluminum is just dirty or dull the anodizing will still be there, in this case, the grill off my 60 Cad coupe. Using some 0000 steel wool, a soft toohbrush and a product called Auto Sol you can make them look very good, and it won't remove the anodize. It will stay that way for quite awhile before some more polishing is needed.
  5. If this thing stops anywhere under 50 k I am will be surprised, I'm a Cadillac guy but this is one over the top gorgeous car.
  6. The ceiling height is 12 feet, I had it built that way 10 years and 3 less cars ago , after the second lift I had a nice empty spot until this past August. Now I am out of room 😔
  7. Adam, I have two of the Advantage Lifts in my garage , I like the design of the collars around the posts, I have an older XLT version and the standard size which I got Oct 2020, it has larger cables now 1/2 rather than 3/8 . If your floor is flat they move very easily on the casters but each post does not lift off the ground more than 1/2 to 1 inch, as you can see I put some pretty big cars on them they are very stable driving on and off and I have had no issues, the componets are heavy but I did my own installation with a engine hoist (cherry picker) . What you don't want to hear is in Oct of 2020 i paid $1969.00 less than todays price. Good luck
  8. There is no question that the price is too high and the car needs some work, I have met the gentleman selling the car I am pretty sure he isn't concerned if it sells, the pic in front of his house is just a sample of his collection, the Wood Rose 59 has been on Ebay a couple of times the last run stopping just over 99k reserve not met, he is a very talented fabricator / builder, but has a regular office job, the bright pink 59 has a twin turbo motor and is bagged with and amazing interior Dakota Digital gages etc it sold for $$$$$$ , he also has the Wood Rose car on air as well. He does understand the rarity of some models so he leaves them alone as far as modifying them, that is why the Seville isn't, he also has a 62 Eldorado that is stock as well. As far as the neighborhood, the housing market in Utah, (especially SLC and the surrounding suburbs), is a little nuts, 650k to 800k in this area. $200 to $300 per square foot. 😵
  9. I don't do much work in mine, just polishing and waxing mostly, I had the garage built to hold two Caddys deep and made it high enough to install lifts, the last spot was just filled with a 60 Persian Sand Coupe which I am waiting for delivery of. They are never big enough.
  10. Beautiful car ! I am waiting for a 60 Caddy Coupe from the same carrier, looks like they take good care of their deliverys ,knowing it will be in good hands doesn't make the wait any easier, congrats !
