 Thanks for posting Bill. This is such a fascinating listing. Looks to be "the real thing."  Upon close inspection and some negotiation, someone could pick up a very old car in relatively good condition. Having owned Cadillacs of that era, I'd be considering not only the general condition of the "basics," which may well be highly servicable, but the interior materials that can get brittle, and over time, and be expensive to replace. I'm thinking the right person with good mechanical experience could have a blast getting this road worthy (again, at the right price)--- having a rebuilt engine is a big plus, but the transmission should be taken out and serviced, flex brake lines and master cylinder, etc, etc. and you're into the "might as wells" that all need to be addressed to avoid serious disappointments. Maybe a ClC will jump in feet first!  Happy day, James

Yes, looks to me like an example of a Series 62 Coupe basic no option car that someone bought new who could barely afford it and cherished it for many years as it was probably a crowning achievement in their life so they preserved it.
