I sold this 1948 56-C ten years ago. I restored it and had owned for over 30 years so I'm curious to know where it might be. When I sold it, it went to Portland, Oregon and it was at the 2014 Buick Nationals. I believe it was sold again since then and I have no idea where it ended up. I thought the current owner might enjoy hearing about the car's history and restoration. Thanks for any information.

Wow, that poor thing looks like a gigantic, mutant Checker Cab in that color.

I think $35,000 would probably just about cover the cost of the paint and interior work on that car. Someone invested a lot of cash to achieve such a nice restoration.

Truly Unauthentic Reproduction Disaster

Very classy and impressive looking car for the money.

Wow, that is a great looking Packard!

Hose has been sold.

This looks like a really nice all original car in great condition. That dashboard has got to be the coolest ever!

I have 25 feet of reproduction ribbed 5/8" ID heater hose (one 20 foot piece + one 5 foot piece). This is the correct style hose for Buicks from the 40's -60's. I'll sell it all for $45.00 plus shipping. Hopefully, somebody out there can use this.

Looks like the A/C compressor is MIA judging by the disconnected refrigerant hoses in the engine compartment photo. It gonna be a hot summer in that car!

An interior only Elvis could love......

Very nice work. Your choice of colors is excellent.

The sign has been sold.

I need a little help determining the age and reasonable value for an illuminated Buick advertising display that was likely to have been used inside a dealer showroom. I believe that the display is from the late 80's or early 90's. The sign measures approx. 24" x 36" and it is internally illuminated. I'm doing some garage clean up and I'd like to find a new home for this sign, preferably with someone who owns a Buick of the same vintage. If anyone is interested in this item or can tell me anything about it, let me know. The sign is well made and heavy so shipping would probably not be an option. I am located near York, PA.

This car did not sell through this website but it did through a connection made at the Cadillac Club forum. In the past, I've had success selling two other cars through the AACA Forum. I think three things are necessary to sell a car through these kinds of free listings, first you need a decent car, second you need a well written, informative ad and lastly a realistic price expectation.

John, Thanks for the compliment. The Cadillac is really a nice car but I find that I'm jut not using it very much. I'm sure the is a Cadillac collector out there somewhere who would appreciate owning such a nice example. You'll probably think that I've gone over to the "Dark Side" but I bought a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport with only 3000 miles on it. Now I have a car I can drive anywhere, anytime and not be worried about it. I've had a 1996 Corvette for a number of years and I've always enjoyed it so it made sense to me to get another, newer one as well.

A few more pictures.

This beautiful Cadillac is an extremely well preserved, totally rust free car that reflects the great care it has had since new. The car has all its original paint, leather interior, top and chrome, even the four original T-3 headlamps are still present. This car would be a definite candidate for AACA HPOF judging. Previous owner received a First Place award with this car at the 2017 Cadillac-LaSalle Club Grand National Meet. The entire car is exceptionally clean including the engine compartment and chassis. The factory paint on the wheel sides of the front wheel wells is still clean and shiny. I don’t think this car was ever winter driven. All the power options work including the A/C and automatic climate control. The AM radio was previously updated to receive both FM and digital input. The car has 46,500 miles and is in good operating condition. I have replaced the original brakes, shocks and fuel pump. It has had a complete tune up with all new ignition components and filters.The radiator was recored, drive shaft and carburetor have been rebuilt. The convertible top pump and pressure hoses have been replaced. Currently, the car has a set of True Spoke wire wheels installed by the previous owner. The original wheels (with new tires) and excellent original wheel covers are included. The hood center molding and ornament were added early in the car’s life by the Cadillac dealer at request of the first owner and although not original it is an interesting part of the history of the car. This is a very nice Cadillac with a great color combination in outstanding condition. Price: $40,000. Included with the car are the following items: Complete set of original glovebox literature including warranty booklet with protect-o-plate Copy of original sales invoice Shop manual and body manual Climate control system troubleshooting manual 1968 Cadillac Master Parts Catalog Full set of 1967 Cadillac sales literature Complete set of Cadillac Serviceman bulletins 1965-1969 New car cover Original wheels with new whitewall radial tires mounted. Original wheel covers. Miscellaneous spare parts

"Danger Will Robinson, DANGER!!!"

I have one just like yours. I believe it dates to about 1966. Mine still has a label on it with the manufacturers information on it. When I checked a while back, they were still in business. There can't be many of these around.

Just to let you all know I haven't totally given up on old GM cars, I still have this boat to drive around in.

Wow, that is amazing to find a '95 Corvette with only 1000 miles. I know you will enjoy driving it because I've had a '96 Corvette for about 6 years now. I like the way the full-width hood opens up to give you access to everything in the engine compartment. Did you find the little storage compartments under the arm rests yet? You should consider joining the on line C4 Forum, lots of useful and interesting information can be found there. Hope you get to drive the car more than the last guy did.

After almost 40 years of Riviera ownership I am now without one and very unlikely to own another. Some of you my recall that earlier in the Spring, I posted here about a strange engine issue I was having with my '65 GS. After months of unsuccessfully trying to diagnose and correct the problem and then spending thousands having professionals also be unable to figure it out, I just gave up. As much as I liked the car, I decided I was too frustrated to continue. I'm at a point where I want to drive and enjoy my cars as opposed to slaving over a problem I can't correct. The good news is that the car was recently sold to a very capable ROA member who I'm certain will be more successful at repairing it than I was. I really liked this car and I'll miss it but sometimes you just have to let go. To replace the Riviera I got myself a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport with 3000 miles. I know what you're thinking "he's joined the DARK SIDE!" The Corvette is a blast to drive, it is absolutely just like a brand new car and it puts a gigantic smile on my face when I see it. I enjoyed being an ROA member and part of this forum for many years and I greatly appreciated all the help and advice I received during that time. I'll drop by here occasionally just to see what is going on (force of habit is hard to break). Good luck with your cars everyone.

Yes, the car was sold a few months later back in 2015.
