It's to most people's taste over-accessorized, but most of that unbolts easily enough. A set of body-colored correct wheels and hubcaps and it's not a bad-looking car

I don't think the red wheels are any more correct than the ones taken off.

Don't think the sedan delivery was part of the Fleetline models

Is that one of those Hot Wheels cars that changes colors when they get wet? Two different trunk colors. Or two different cars
I would hope any prospective buyer could tell the 53 from the 54

I agree the proportions aren't bad, but on the execution part, lose all the silly decals and stripes.
The notchback coupe version has a greenhouse that doesn't match the lower body.

The Morris MM series Minor had to have the headlights relocated above the grille before they could be exported to the US starting in 1949. Hence, earlier MM series Minors are called 'low-light' models.

Many cars with Lucas electrics are called low light models

A friend won a vintage car in the early 1990's - a series III Jaguar E-type. He hung up the first couple of calls because he thought it was a prank. The only issue was that the company running the giveaway overstated the value, which was the basis for their write-off but also for his tax bill. Still good fortune to win a V12 E-type.

Contract testing labs do this sort of thing. Ones that do automotive work will typically be registered to ISO 17025. An easy test, but there is usually a fee for it. You might be able to get a favor if you skip the sample conditioning and report. Where are you located?

As I recall, Not every Limousine had to have a Divider Window.
They were optional on some, perhaps standard on another, and in some cases it was a separate model number,
but a Limousine, nonetheless.
Sometimes the nomenclature was dependent on wheelbase, jump seats, built-in bar, lack of rearmost side windows,etc
Disregarding any marketing mangling of the terms, this is a seven passenger sedan. The limo would have a division window, and the driver's compartment usually in leather since it was meant to be chauffeur-driven. I believe Packard used the terms that way also.

The bezel is German, since we can see it was made by Hella. That doesn't guarantee it went on a German car.

Who would buy a Pierce Arrow with drum headlights and no archer? Wood wheels with dual sidemounts, single pilot ray, sidemount mirrors, be a member of AAA with a radiator bar badge, and after all the strange lack of options, have a uniformed chauffeur- and then order a 90.00 lap robe with initials and the 15.00 matching pillow? STRANGE!
A "Philadelphia car" - term for an understated old money style. I've seen a couple of custom-bodied Packards with all brightwork except grille and bumpers specified as painted.

If it looks better top up, then it's a badly done convertible. With the top down, anything besides the windshield and mirrors that's above the belt line is points off. The fixed window frames and pile of tent poles top stacks are abominations.

Not a Caddy expert, but that interior looks very wrong. Also, it's not that hard to find an air cleaner

Not claiming to be an expert on to be an expert on this, but I've seen this sort of look

This would be a great car if it had power steering.
I had a 57 Olds without power steering and it had much better driving characteristics than usual for the era. You could actually feel what the front end was doing. Yes, you needed to be moving when turning the wheel to park. I wouldn't be scared off by this.

I would hope the current authentic fabric available
might be more durable; but I would certainly ask
about durability before buying it.
I'd be OK if it held out another 60 years

Certainly some '42's had painted bumpers, but didn't Chrysler use a tan/beige paint on them?
I agree that the 42 grille looks better than its post war derivatives.

wrong location for this ad to find its interested parties (Robin check the CCCA eligible list). Buick forum better?

Regardless of what the seller states, this car is non-CCCA Full Classic. Only y he Custom Super Clipper, model 2106 five passenger and 2126 seven passenger , are Full Classic.
I don't think so. The 2103 Super (4 dr sedan and 2dr fastback), the 2106 Custom Super(4 dr sedan and 2dr fastback), and the 2126 lwb 7 passenger limos and sedans are all CCCA Full Classics.

My 41 used a similar material as the optional Bedford cord, I got some for armrests from Bill Hirsch but it was a couple years ago.
