1960 Cadillac Deville 4-Door 6-Window Bubble Top Sedan
It has been in storage a while…moving it out to sell it

This is a one-owner car that I recently “inherited” from the owner after they started doing a restoration and then learned that their son did not want to actually inherit the vehicle. The paint is 6 months old but is not a great coat. They left a great deal of overspray on the surface. The interior is in good shape with new carpet, headliner, and seats. The only issues on the car are some window seals that need to be replaced and some pitting present on the bright work throughout. Based on time and other limitations, this was not my best detail. However, the car is unique so I wanted to post this.

Love that car!!

Nice look. Sure is a lot of sheet metal on that vehicle. Look forward to seeing the engine detail when you get time to do it. Then post it on the forum.
 
Gorgeous looking vehicle and great job on the detail! Nice job of incorporating the pup in that last pic.

That is one sweet looking lincoln. How much are you going to sell it for?

Lincoln - Ha!
Asking $18,450 but willing to negotiate with the right loving home for the old girl.
