Solid example of Cadillac's most popular pre-war model. I originally chose this one because it was a 3-speed, and it wasn't black but a nice navy blue. And, it has no serious rust. The previous owner reported spending some $25K on engine work, and I can attest to having driven the car on 100 mile trips. With its 346 c.i. motor, it will do highway speeds with ease and comfort, and still stop well. It has never overheated for me and can be locked when you are away from it. Most of its features work other than the radio - the clock even functions. It comes with the rare fender skirts, although it looks good without them as well. The dash and window sills have been wood-grained, and the heater warms the car well. Upholstery looks  original, but I think a very good restoration. The paint could use a refresh but is usable as-is. Some receipts for work done come with it. Currently registered and plated. Senior owner is selling his cars.

Is this car possibly on its way to Latvia? 😜  Looks like a pretty good buy to me.

No, no, it's a wrong coast, so it's not gonna happen.😁 But, yes, I agree - this Cadillac looks like a decent buy.

I have seen better for the money; in fact I almost bought one.  The con both front and back bumpers chrome has lost it's luster.  The paint looks questionable but that maybe due to bad picture quality. But I must say nave blue really looks good on this car.  The engine compartment really needs to cleaned up.

 

I suspect this is the kind of car that I usually run into.  This owner probably bought this car when all the maintenance and repairs were up to date and the paint and chrome were bright lustrous. He owned it for a few years and did not hesitate to drive it.  Did minimal maintenance over the years and on his last visit to the mechanic he was told of some expensive repairs and maybe maintenance recommendations.  He passes on all the work and at that point decided to sell it.  Thereby passing the buck to the next owner!  My 47 Ford was like that it needed a lot of work, which I did.  I have to say the new owner of that car got a gem!  That's that car that got away. I should never have sold it!
