1953 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Offered Without Reserve

Auctioned on Saturday, October 17, 2009

Sold at $133,750

This rare and beautiful example is one of only 525 ever built and Al Webster purchased it 6 or 7 years ago locally from a neighbour who lived only 2 blocks away. This neighbour owned the car for 20 years. The factory-original wire wheels have been re-chromed and fitted with radial wide whitewall tires. All hydraulics including windows, seats and top, have been rebuilt as is the transmission. A new haartz cloth convertible top was recently fitted to the car and Al reports that he and his wife Joan have just returned from a trouble-free 1,000 mile road trip and the car used no oil.
