This Coupe was delivered to Gibson Motor Co in Spokane, Washington on November 20,1939. Being a Northwestern example, it was spared the rust and corrosion that is common with pre-War classics.  This Cadillac was later owned and restored by noted Cadillac collector, Larry Klement of Bloomington, MN. From 2008 until 2015, Mr. Klement invested in a concours quality restoration that has proven itself worthy of its well-deserved awards.  By January 2020, Steve Matthews of Allen, TX, acquired it as part of his collection.  Included with the sale is a substantial file of restoration receipts, factory build records and award history.

This Cadillac received a bare-metal respray in Oxblood Maroon Iridescent (Paint Code 11) which was expertly applied and has deep shine and brilliant depth. The chrome and brightwork are brilliant, having undergone a professional refinishing in preparation for the national shows. The steel wheels are color-matched to the body with bright, wide white wall tires and the chrome hubcaps with Cadillac crests appear like new. The rubber stone guards adorning the rear fenders are also in excellent condition. The panel fit is exceptional and the quality of the craftsmanship is excellent in every respect. There are a couple minor spots where the paint appears thin, most notably on the top of the passenger front fender.

Prominently displayed on the front are two National First Prize badges, one from the AACA for its 2012 National First Prize in the Senior Division and the senior award from the CCCA 2014 Summer Grand Classic in the Primary Division. The undercarriage is detailed and shows well. The exterior overall would be considered near showroom new.

The interior of this Coupe is exceptional and appears showroom new. The interior upholstery is beautifully finished and feels brand new in the proper Tan Herringbone Cloth (Trim Code 52). The tan painted dash matches well and is outfitted with sweep style gauges, an AM radio, clock, and locking glovebox. All instrumentation is in working order, including the clock. The restored three-spoke steering wheel appears as new with a turn indicator stalk on the left and the shifter mounted on the right of the column. Overall impressions of the interior are of the highest quality.

The venerable 346 CID V8 starts with the push of the dash mounted button and is whisper quiet. The entire drivetrain was rebuilt and the engine was professionally balanced during the restoration process. The engine provides ample power to the three-speed manual transmission which shifts between the gears smoothly and with confidence.  Steering and suspension feels natural, and the cabin noise is minimal thanks to a Lizard Skin Sound Deadening treatment.

This was said to be an Arizona car that was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction about 35 years ago. It had been fully restored mechanically and cosmetically. The buyer was a collector from Denver, CO who enjoyed the car for the next 30 years. For much of that time the car was stored and not driven. The Cadillac was then sold its past owner, Ron Clubine from Colorado, who is quite an expert on 1956 Cadillacs. He recommissioned the car after acquiring it, including carpets, rebuilding the convertible top mechanisms and such. He also freshened the engine detailing, which is rather stunning in its current form.

The Cadillac now runs and drives beautifully and looks very nice. The paint is older, but still looks stunning. It has many areas which have touched up chips, but the paint shines and looks beautiful overall. The chrome and stainless are in overall good condition. There are no dents or dings, but a few of the pot metal parts show some pitting and a few other items could have been chromed better. The bumpers look original and are in good condition with only some surface scratching showing.

The carpets are new and in excellent condition. The red leather is older and showing cracks. There are no rips or holes, just the cracking from age. The leather is very soft and supple. The instruments are gorgeous and really complete the 1950’s look for the interior.

The convertible top mechanisms are all newer and work well. The top itself appears to have been dyed red to match the interior. The top is in good condition with some small blemishes showing. And the parade top boot fits well to the car and gives it a custom look.

The engine and transmission were rebuilt many years ago. There is a service sticker from December 21, 1994 when the Cadillac had 103,300 miles. Today, it is showing 26,900 miles, attesting to the fact that this car has been consistently used and loved through its life. Recently, the Cadillac has benefited from king pins and the rebuilding of the steering box.

This Cadillac was bought new and lived its entire life in Connecticut. It was purchased by Frank Peters from William Mandi on June 20, 1977. Mr. Peters then set out on a slow but deliberate restoration to make it the most accurate and thorough restoration possible. He was fortunate to have purchased a large cache of New Old Stock Cadillac parts and used a multitude of the NOS parts on this car. Mr. Peters passed before completing the restoration, but his daughter completed it partly as a tribute to her father. Every piece of this car has been restored to new condition. This was a no expense spared restoration which is documented in photos, some of which appear in the photo gallery.

The livery was completed in the correct Valcour Maroon metallic in the original Nitrocellulose lacquer. While stunning in appearance, it does exhibit a couple small cracks and blemishes that were the trademark of this lacquer. Having said that, the accuracy and authenticity of the restoration is underscored in the finish of the paint. It is obvious that this is the not over-restored base coat clear coat that is seen in most all of today’s restorations. The chrome and other details are excellent and the car presents itself very well. It is ready for concours competition today.

The interior is nearly perfect. The maroon leather is gorgeous and is soft and supple. The dashboard is finished in the correct wood-graining and is gorgeous. This Cadillac breezed through our thorough inspection. Everything works as it should.

Cadillac made great strides in styling for 1941. For the first time, headlights were fully integrated into the front fenders, and a horizontal-theme grille stretched from side to side. The hood was made front-opening for the first time, and the gas tank filler was hidden in the left rear taillight, a feature that became a Cadillac hallmark. Hydra-Matic, General Motors’ new fully automatic transmission, became available for the first time.

While many manufacturers have offered convertibles only in their most expensive series, Cadillac’s sole soft top was usually in the 62 Series. Such was the case in 1941, when this handsome model was manufactured. Equipped with a vacuum-powered convertible top, it was available only as a Deluxe model, which included rear fender skirts, wheel trim, and other decor items. This configuration makes for the perfect CCCA, CLC or AACA show and tour car. The reliable and powerful V8 paired with the Hydra-Matic makes for the perfect CARavan motorcar.

For more details and information, call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. The Cadillac is available for inspection at our Phoenix facility. We are also pleased to offer live FaceTime or video inspections for you.

Dick and Tissie Silberberg of Dalhart, TX bought the Cadillac in 1960 in Kansas City. It was a very nice original car. The Silberberg’s enjoyed the Cadillac for about 35 years before commencing a complete restoration. He was a long-time member of the Cadillac LaSalle Club (CLC).

Mrs. Silberberg set out on a full body-off the frame restoration in 1994 with Russell Larsen of Amarillo, TX. The restorations goal was to ensure that this example could maintain its history as a wonderful parade car and the pride and joy of their collection. This restoration was documented with photos showing that every bit of the car was attended to. The car was taken down to bare metal and resprayed in its original Long Key Green Iridescent (Paint code 6). The paint looks very nice and has a beautiful luster. The body prep was done fairly well, but upon close inspection shows some waves and imperfections. We love the more modern and sleek look of the deletion of the running boards and the side mounts. After the restoration was completed, the family put the Cadillac on jackstands and had the restorer start it on a regular basis. It remained on the jackstands for at least ten years.

The interior is refinished in beautiful and soft tan leather. The quality of the leather appears to be excellent and it looks as new. The leather and trim are finished to a very high standard. The carpet is tan and trimmed with tan binding. The convertible top is finished in the correct tan Haartz cloth and is equally well done. The car is accessorized with turn signals, heater/defroster and the am radio with pre-set stations.

In trying to maintain its originality, most of the chrome and Cadillac badges are original and in very good condition. Only the bumpers and the parking lights were re-finished along with new wheel covers and headlight rings. This provides a very consistent patina throughout the car.

All the mechanicals were rebuilt and the car runs and drives beautifully. The venerable 346 cid flathead V8 was thoroughly rebuilt and sounds great. The three speed manual transmission shifts very well and the steering feels light and responsive.

For more details and information please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. The Cadillac can be inspected at our Phoenix, AZ showroom by appointment only.

The stunning Dakota Red livery is beautiful with its ample chrome and gold accents. The paint quality is very nice having been wet sanded and polished well. The upgraded Eldorado style wheel covers look wonderful with the BF Goodrich wide white wall radial tires. The styling of the 1957 Cadillac is perfect. We love the fins and the ample accents the designers added to make it modern without being over-done. The chrome and trim all look well done with only a nominal amount of wear apparent.

Overall, this looks like a six or seven year old restoration although we have no documentation supporting the details. We have used our bondo detector and this Cadillac is rock solid with no filler or sign of issues.

The interior has been completely restored with high quality materials. There is a slight amount of wear showing on the drivers seat, otherwise it is as-new.

Mechanically, this Cadillac is very solid. Being free of rust it is incredibly solid and appears to be a low mileage example. There are no signs of repair or accidents and our comprehensive inspection proved this to be an excellent example overall.

The engine compartment is well detailed to be appropriate for almost any show-field. This coupe features power steering, power brakes, heater and AM radio.

The NADA Guide has the High Retail value at $41,000, making this a good value. We’ve seen nothing on the market as nice as this.

For more information and details, call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. The Cadillac may be inspected at our Phoenix showroom.

After he bought it he set out to complete frame up restoration.  He preferred a black color scheme and therefore had a base coat clear coat black paint job applied with gorgeous black leather interior installed.  The body was stripped down to the cowl with all fenders, doors, hood and trunk lid removed for painting.  There were only minute signs of rust but the little that was there was repaired with new metal.  The chassis is still coated with the heavy tar undercoating of the period.  The chrome is beautiful with only some imperfections seen in the door handles.

The engine was also removed and was cleaned out and fully inspected and determined to be excellent.  The transmission was fully rebuilt and a new exhaust system installed.  The carburetor, water pump and all ancillary items were rebuilt and cosmetically restored.  He also installed new shocks, ball joints, new brakes drums and brake shoes.  The Coker steel belted wide white wall radials look fantastic and are the right choice for the car.  Since the completion of the restoration four years ago George has driven the Cadillac a total of 6,100 miles (the odometer was reset to zero during restoration).

The interior is all new and looks wonderful in all black.  The dash pad and glove box liner are new and the entire passenger compartment and trunk are lined with sound deadener and a heat barrier.  The electric windows were gone through and all systems work beautifully.  The front seat is electric and of course it has power steering and brakes.  The radio and speedometer were rebuilt and work well.

To accent the gorgeous black livery George selected a new white convertible top.  All the hydraulics are new, including the pump, rams and lines.

This Cadillac comes with a full file of restoration history, many restoration photos and numerous awards from car shows.

This is the nicest 1959 Cadillac convertible we’ve ever offered.  For inquiries please call Harry at 602.245.7200 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.

This is a fantastic original 1966 Cadillac DeVille convertible with a fully documented 89,000 original miles.  This car wears its original livery with only a few panels being touch up with new paint as necessary to keep the car in beautiful condition. It still has its original glass rear window, black convertible top and top boot which are in very nice condition.    It is a fabulous original car that can be enjoyed as-is at local and regional concours events and would handily perform well in Preservation Class competition. 

This car was purchased new on January 1, 1966.  By January 14, 1970, Mr. Ted Struck purchased the car as he was released from the Navy.  He needed a car and acquired the DeVille at a Chevrolet dealership.  Of course, the manager of the dealership used the car for his daily transportation until sold!

Mr. Struck has kept the car in fantastic original condition over the past 42 years.  He has all the invoices for repairs in a meticulous file, starting with the sales invoice from 1970 through all repairs and maintenance items since.  Nearly every service and repair was performed by the famous San Diego Cadillac dealership, Marvin K. Brown.

It has a fully functioning original black convertible top in very nice condition- so nice it is amazing that it is original.   The car has recently installed white wall radial tires and mechanically is excellent and has been fully serviced.   This is a very clean and nearly rust free example with nearly any signs of rust.   We have included detailed photographs of the undercarriage for details.  It is very close to rust free and very solid as you would expect from a California motorcar.

Each DeVille produced had the powerful 429 cu in V8 with 340 hp.  The 129.5 in wheelbase makes for a very smooth and luxurious ride with an overall length of 224 inches.  Of course this DeVille is loaded with options including air conditioning (not presently working due to a frozen compressor), cruise control, wonderbar radio, power seats and power windows and top. These 1960′s Cadillacs are fabulous motorcars.

The NADA value shows High Retail at $27,5100 and Average Retail at $19,740.  See details of the value at: http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1966/Cadillac/Deville/2-Door-Convertible/Values

This, being a fully documented survivor living with one loving owner in California for the past 42 years this example is a terrific value.  For more details please call Harry at 602.245.7200 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.
