Title: "Black Diamond" is joining our stable.
Post by: Bill Caddyshack on August 18, 2013, 10:06:57 AM
Excited about getting a survivor. 1958 Eldorado Seville. Unmolested.

Backup lights and license plate surround have been rechromed and are being installed. A few other things. Should have her home somewhere around the first of September.

Bill, I love most everything from 58 (year born). Great looking car. Has the top been restored? Did this car have AC? Redone?

Mike,

The top is original. Quite amazing. Does not have AC. I am thinking about Old Air Products, or Vintage Air. Probably trunk mount.

So you are a 1958 model! I am a 1943 vintage. Have been looking for a 1943 Cadillac.  They were real tanks!

Good looking interior as well. Drive her to the GN next year. I believe Peach State had the most attendees at this years GN.
Bill you were a war baby.

Might drive her to the 2014 GN. Good idea. Any idea where it will be?

The interior is original. Just needs carpets. I am also getting NOS original rubber floor mats.

Lookin' good like a Cadillac should!  (actually it looks GREAT, but that wouldn't rhyme. Ha ha ha)

I think the GN is in Lake George, NY in July of 2014.

Very nice car. I bet you're chomping at the bit to get her home.

It's an absolute stunner. Color combo couldn't be better chosen.  ;D  A perfect companion to your '58 Biarritz.

Like an expectant father - the wait is always a grueling one. I know the feeling well...

Congrats & and the best of luck with it.

Eric
