1958 Cadillac coupe de ville?

I was originally going to say buick, due to the comparatively small tail fins, but the hubcaps and hood ornament suggest caddy to me..

365ci

I can't see the pictures . . .

Although 1958 is the ONLY year Cadillac where I prefer the Sedan over the Coupe (hence I specifically brought a SDV) - it's something about the rear post - it looks too bulky and ruins the car IMHO.

mmm very nice

Motorama · February 15, 2010, 11:48:39 AM

I've been nursing the deal along for 8 months to buy this car and finally got it home today. The car is largely original and unrestored with a nice patina. Mechanically seems pretty good with the gearbox just rebuilt which is always a bonus as they are £2500 to do on these

I plan to use it for a while whilst i finish the 57 Convertible, so should still have it for any upcoming meets and cruises. I have been gathering correct parts to finish the convertible, buying a whole car a couple of weeks ago then selling it again once i'd swapped some bits over
