f.f.jones Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 1948 Cadillac Series 75 - $41,000. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/d/phoenix-1948-cadillac-series-75/7443940781.html Car is located in the Yuma, Az area. Call or text Jerry. Seven zero two 86 zero 2 five six 4. I’m selling my 1948 Cadillac Series 75, 7 passenger Imperial Sedan. It won 1st place in a recent car show (piston trophy shown in photos). The most expensive Cadillac made in 1948, and the last year of the Cadillac Flathead V8. Only 382 of them were produced. This is a 7533X model, which means it is a chauffeur-driven limousine with HydroElectric power windows and a divider window. My car is also a rare 3 speed manual transmission.Front and rear clocks and cigarette lighters work! I restored the steering wheel and had an expert rebuild the front seat tube radio. Car is still the original 6V and has a new battery.The rear seat has been reupholstered in the original-style, plush Broadcloth. Beautiful chrome, and lots of it! Fog lights. Rebuilt carburetor, fuel pump and radiator. I also installed an electric fuel pump as a backup, it’s very useful if the car tries to vapor lock (common on classic cars running on modern gas).New correct hoses, belts, intake/exhaust gasket, brakes, master cylinder, HydroElectric window cylinders, suspension bushings, and much more (receipts for everything). The car rides on a new set of wide-whitewall radial tires that resemble classic bias ply tires.I’ve done much of the work myself to make this beautiful car look new again. It’s not perfect, and there are still a few things to do. I’m including many rare, and unique parts in the sale. There is even an extremely rare compete original 1948 rear seat radio and vacuum antenna! Very expensive and nearly impossible to find.Asking only $41,000, OBO, for this elegant Cadillac, and all the extra parts. Interesting automobile partial trades considered. Contact me with any questions and/or offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.f.jones Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 I am no Cadillac expert, but is the seller's asking price for this car at least in the ball park? I would think there is a very limited market for limousines such as this. Please comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Paint looks tired I would want to see it in person. Did I miss the mileage? Original non detailed engine compartment. $41,000 may be close but limited market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Sounds like seller has done some expensive maintenance and is looking to recover costs. It’s an impressive car, but at the most basic level, it’s a huge sedan with a non-adjustable front seat. The two tone paint job might not be to everyone’s tastes, either. If I hadn’t seen the asking price, I’d figure maybe $25-30K at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Fan Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The price is not out of line for a quality example, which the above car is not. this lasted about a week: https://classicpromenade.com/for-sale/1947-cadillac-series-75-touring-sedan/ And I presume sold for asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the fenders to match the lower body and leaving the roof silver would be OK, and reflect what the two tones of this era looked like. I've never seen an authentic paint scheme where the skirt contrasted with the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! AND it's a touring sedan, not a limo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
