58L-Y8 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) One has to wonder why a pink 1956 Cadillac Sedan de Ville four door hardtop wasn't enough, but they had to paint it up to be a circus clown... Next to the Eldorado Biarritz convertible and Seville hardtop or a Series 62 convertible, the new-for-1956 Sedan de Ville was THE Cadillac to own. The Sedan de Ville (41,732) instantly outsold the Series 62 four door sedan (26,222). Here is how good they look right from Clark Avenue, Detroit...

suchan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Looks like they leaded the rear door seams on a sedan, series 62 or DeVille. Without identifying trim, I can’t tell one from the other. Speaking of trim, how to do you open the two functioning doors without door handles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better angle than the driver’s side pic. I think the rear doors are also operational. Doors are probably opened with electrical “poppers” (as long as the battery isn’t dead). Commonly used when shaving door handles on customs. I do not know how reliable they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 My grandmother would get a new Caddie, every couple of years. Pink was her favorite colour, her winter house was pink! But for So FLA thats not unusual. Fortunately she never got a 'Pink Cadillac'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
