Title: WTB 1956 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Post by: carguyblack on March 30, 2012, 10:46:26 AM
Does anyone have any leads on a Coupe body 1956 Cadillac available for sale? I am hoping to find a car that has been used as a donor for a convertible build. I need a chassis and interior but have virtually every other component.    Chuck

Hi Chuck,
What do you mean by Chassis ? I have a coupe frame that is good. I also have most of the interior, but only the front seat would interchange. Basically I have a coupe here, but it's rusty, no good sheet metal, lots of frame, running gear, interior parts,
Let me know if I can help,
Michael B

Hi Mike,
I should have said "body". What I am looking for is a stripped out car but has good sheet metal. I need no engine, transmission, body trim. What I do need left would be the interior as I have none of  that.

Hi,
Ok, I sort of figured that, sorry I can't help there. It can be hard to find a car that is solid enough to use to restore a conv, but has been parted out, especially up here in the salt belt :) just my opinion though, and yes I've heard what they say about opinions......I do have a good 2 door front seat if you need one of them in the future let me know.
Thanks
Michael B

Thanks for that, Michael. I'll wait to see what falls in my lap first before I buy your seat. I'm out of room!

Hello from southern New Mexico. Las Cruces. Have 55 coupe deville. glass all gone body fair,  eldorado engine was running when parked, good trans,  floor pan rust.
would rather some one get it other than it get junked out for metal. Price Low.
could trailer it somewhere within reasonably distance from Cruces.
