Hey guys!
Here is the '53 Eldo that I used to have. I completely restored it. It was in really rough shape and actually had sat in a junkyard for 20 years before!

Here is some more...

All factory... These cars were hand built at the factory. They only made 532 of them in 1953.

Here are the original Cadillac Wire Wheel rims. These are very rare now a days.

When did you have it? When did you sell it? Do you know where it is now?.....Just curious!

I had it from 1998-2001. I sold it April 2001. It now resides in a private museum in Greenwich, CT.

When I was a kid my dad had a '54...he got rid of it in '64 and got a new one but I've always thought of that body style as the most perfect example of Cadillac style! He'd get a new one every ten years except his last one he bought that in '76 and drove it till he couldn't drive anymore. Then it sat in his garage under a car cover till he passed away in '94. The man LOVED his Cadillacs!

'54 was a neat year for the Eldo as well, with it's Stainless Steel floormats and stainless steel that went all the way down the rear fender. I had one at one time as well.

I've got a pic of a '54 posted around here somewhere......

Beautiful car. Absolutely one of my dream cars.

Like I said...very NICE Caddy! Those early years are just beyond sexy! That '53 , i can just picture cruising with the top down, probably turned every single head!

 

[BeelzeBob]

Wow. That's really something.. I've never seen one in person.. I can't wait until our picture archive goes up. I do hope to see this car in there!!

I look forward to the day that Cadillac regains the prestige it had when this car was first built.
