58 Cadillac Superior Landaulette.... resurrection.

58CAD7212008.jpgdead end.jpgimage001-4.jpgSo, posting pictures and what has been accomplished so far in an effort to find motivation to plunge into the rust repair process.

The car:

1958 Cadillac Superior Combination (or Landaulette)

Upgrades:
1979 Camaro Z28 sub-frame
12" vented disc brakes
Firewall mounted master cylinder and brake booster
All new brake lines (hard and soft)
All new 3/8" fuel lines
Fuel tank redone
New sending unit
1973 Cadillac 472 with TH400 transmission
HEi ignition
New 2-1/4" dual exhaust with 24" glass packs

Currently:

The car runs, drives, and stops. Needs radiator installed. '59 firewall graft for A/C and heating on passenger side. Floor pans and rockers replaced. ( I have them) and last but not least - motivation!

The car has been sitting for about 6 months without even being looked at. I really need to find the time to finish it... or at least get it road worthy... even if it isn't pretty.

Do you still have the 73 donor car?

[Beladona_13]

Atti - Thanks for the encouraging words... life keeps me busy enough that I have to nearly commit mutiny to get a few days to work on my coach... ah well! Wouldn't have it any other way...

Abnorml - I traded the shell of the Coupe for the sub-frame I put in my car... but I still have access to it... what parts do you need? Keep in mind, I have the engine, trans, driveshaft, A/C, Radiator, and most of the brakes on my coach...

The middle headlights lenses look like they are clear. Mine have the haze that old lenses get.

I'll call tomorrow and see if they are still available...

Love the pre 69 Cads

awsome car i would like to have one of those BAD!!! It looks like the stub matched up real nice. How is it for the width with the tires on it. I have seen some that the wheels get pushed out to far on a few cars but i know the caddy is pretty wide. nice job hopefully you keep on it. If you loose the love for it keep me in mind.
