Malo48 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 For that price, I wouldn't do much past getting it running and driving the doors off. Provided the interior is useable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Like the colors a lot. I think '56's are the best-looking of the '54-56 group. Dog was guarding the car? Photographer was sure keeping some distance from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The photographer was clearly inexperienced. His thumb was in 3 of the 4 pictures provided! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Seller was running for a congressional seat (unsuccessful, but we supported him) in our district last year. Wow it does look cool for 5k. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I excuse the errors when the price looks as good as this. That's where the flipper makes their money. Buy something like this, get it up on good rubber clean the chrome up as best as you can, the front bumpers looks really good as the the rear bumper ends. Maybe even invest in a new set of wide whitewalls and a set of caps really aren't that expensive and I'll bet you could hang 10 on it, even if it still needed other work as long as the interior wasn't completely ragged out. If it was closer I would go look at it. Think of the other 3500-5000 heaps we see on here and we aren't talking Caddy 4 door hardtops in the 50's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I agree on your assessment, but I continue to be amazed at the nonsense in ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 There must be a reason why the asking price of this one is only 5K, I'm thinking some major flaws were omitted from the description. Why is the top rear window trim loose, it requires a wiper blade and also the internal parts for the rear bumper ends are missing. I'm mentioning relatively minor items but here's no such thing as a free lunch......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I agree that the price is very enticing. If it was within 100 miles I'd go look at at it, even though I'm not in the market. I could be persuaded if it ran good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Now marked sold, so maybe the guy just really wanted to sell it. Someone saw potential. I bet we see it on in a week or less at 10G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
