miami Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Mechanical Engine turns over but I have not had a chance to get it running. I removed the spark plugs and they look clean but I replaced them. Clean oil in the engine and clean transmission fluid in the transmission Rear end isn’t leaking Nothing is missing Body and interior Black paint has seen better days but can be shined up and used if you’d like to keep it original. Interior is all there but needs to be redone Everything seems to be there with extra parts in the trunk There is some rust and body damage I’ve noticed on the driver side doors, hood, and surface rust scattered around the car but nothing more then would be expected on a car this old that has never been restored. I believe all the chrome and trim is there and most of it is in very good shape given it’s age. I’ve restored two 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Specials and have personal experience with this type of car. The 1957 is similar to the 1958; many prefer the ‘57 as it is more restrained in styling. Missing pieces and extensive body issues can be expensive. Fortunately this car is good in both areas. If you can do body and mechanical work this car would be a relatively easy restoration. If you just want to do a mechanical restoration and drive it as is this would be easily doable. If your wanting to do a full restoration for a 100 point restoration this car would also lend it self to well to that. Which ever you restoration you pick it will be beautiful and eye catching. The cars of the 1950’s make great investments and not many can claim to be as sought after as a late 1950’s Cadillac; whose prices are always on the rise. I can help with storage and arranging shipping but the cost of these will be the responsibility of the buyer. 1957 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Shipping Weight: 4755 lbs Vehicle Length: 224.4 in Wheelbase - Inches: 133.0 in 8-cyl. 365cid/300hp 4bbl 24,0000 units sold in 1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
