:) Hi, everyone. I've just purchased an unrestored 1937 Fleetwood Series 75, Style 7519 (5-Passenger Touring Sedan). This is a documented Canadian-sold-new car, and will be remaining a survivor. It has been owned and listed in the club since at least the 1970s.
So excited about this car and hopeful someone can assist me! :)
I am looking for a few things for this car, which is going to be a keeper, fulfilling a long desire of pre-war, Fleetwood-bodied ownership:
1. hood ornament glass (I am told McVey's has stopped reproducing this.) I have attempted to have it recreated based on a friends template but glass shops have had no luck due to the reliefs. I can only have one recreated out of plexi and I am wanting proper glass.
2. I'm a serious literature collector, enthusiast and preservationalist: I'm desperately wanting to purchase an original 1937 Data Book, an original V8 owners manual ("Your Cadillac" on the cover), and a 1937 "Book of Fleetwood." Again, serious, caring buyer who will treasure these pieces indefinitely. (I have a complete '37 Fleetwood prestige portfolio, already.)
3. The correct cigarette lighters for the rear armrests. (Two)
4. This is a long shot, but original foot "hassocks" (rests). for the otherwise complete and original interior. Style 7519 Came with them.
5. An original (not reproduction) Cadillac Motor Car Co. "patent plate" for the firewall.
Also would be interested in the following:
-original tail lamp lens
-proper rear license plate u-clip
-one standard hubcap (not the full wheel disc type)
Please feel free to contact me however you like. My email is joshnoilesemail addresses not permitted and my iphone is 1-902-790-9047 and I text!
