I looked at one of these and was ready to buy the minute I saw it. Then I tried to sit behind the wheel in the non-adjustable front seat. Impossible at 6’2” and 250 pounds. Love these cars, but I don’t fit.
Many of our members have the same problem .Till the mid-thirties the seats are fixed and are one unit with the body .I had a 1932 packard and could barely sit behind the wheel and use the pedals with my long legs .

Looks pretty nice for the money compared to some we see posted here... First question I would ask the seller is how long they have owned the car? Probably told the widow, for $500 I will haul that old car in the garage out if here. So their net profit could be more than the asking price!
Even if he did get the car for free that is not of my concern , when the asking price is ok .

Nope, that the way Cad did it.
But the master cylinder change is interesting Original 56 Cad used Tredle-vac mounted on the core support operated by a long rod that went to the firewall.
Very interesting as i had a 56 some years ago and that power brake setup was a PITA .

So, are Rolls-Royces and Bentleys of the 1950's better
than the problematic and expensive-to-repair Silver Shadows?
Did it take a lot of maintenance and cost to get your 1979 to 180,000 miles, Al?
Are they still very complex back in that decade?
If your models are good, in what years did those cars become problematic?
It's a shame that some beautiful cars don't have the
mechanical quality to match. I'd be happy to hear
otherwise. Teach us some more!
When you ask me the Rolls-Bentleys till the end of the fifties are better than the sixties cars and then in 1965 they start the new model and thats to much for me .I am happy I have the 6-cilinder model and thats easy to work on .The V8 was not an improvement quality wise

I am one of the few who is happy with an englisch car: a 1958 Bentley. Bought it in Philadelphia by accident .(As i was not looking for one )Took it home , new exhaust , repair brakes and power steering and since then it did not let me down .It even has a exclusive option : Pick nick table and seats on the bumpers .( Radford option)

My thoughts all cars are money pits. Just have to love the car your restoring and dont mind the cost.
Sometimes you run into a money pit with your eyes wide open and sometimes the money pit is very well hidden but in this case you can see it with your eyes wide open .But love is blind !

This ad is 5 weeks old and woud still be available ?? Doubtful .....

This car should have been sold at the first day it come available .This is an icon in the automobile history , if i was not in Belgium i would have done it .Imagine such a piece of history in your barn .
-
If I was not in Belgium ans so far away i would have bought this car already at this giveaway price .Could be a scam also !

D2,
This story cements the legacy of you, your dad and the car. You MUST keep the DeSoto. It’s extra nice too, always a conversation starter.
D2, you should only keep it when you like to do that for 100%, otherwise its not a good idea .Its like being married to wrong girl , you will divorce one day sooner or later .

That looks like a great deal to me but my legs are to long , i will never fit in .

BAT will bring more than retail. Typically. That is a nice car.
BAT is the best place to sell a car , nowhere else will you get more money ,as a buyer its best to sit in your sofa have some coctails and have a bidding war with other buyers.

That cormorant hood ornament is my favorite and one of the best…..only to be eclipsed by the P/A Archer!
Such hood ornament is forbidden in Belgium and other Euro countries .To sharp .If you hit a pedestrian and he is stabbed you will end up in jail .

Are you sure this really excists ? I guess it owned by a person that works on a drilling platform and he will send the car to you after you have paid for it .

The worst front end in my eyes is the 46-47 Hudson .If i didn't know the model i could never have guessed this was a oldsmobile .

Very good price .Many people run around a car that needs paint , some chrome work and a worn out interior and that is for sale for let say 5-8.000$ .It will cost a lot more than this one and will not nearly be as good as this one .

Were leather seats an option on '56 Plymouths?

This car is to good .I would be deadly afraid to drive it on the street in todays traffic .One scratch and and its virginity is lost for ever .Long time ago i had 1958 mercedes with 28.000 km as new and i sold it because i was to afraid to drive it .Now it sits in one of the the best Mercedes collections from the world and i am very happy with it..
