Eric,

Appears to be meticulous work. Why not say it's a 62 Series dressed up as a CDV?.........Leaves one to wonder what else is not as it seems.

Says it's got a clear Indiana title, yet the car has Florida plates and is currently being sold out of New York....?

Hello Eric

Very meticulous vehicle completed with a high dollar budget but there are flags:
(1) Title
(2) Passenger side mirror
(3) Two inch white wall
(4) Where is the picture of the body plate?
(5) Asking Seville dollars
(6) Rims

All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

Agreed.

I also noticed the car is sitting too high and the wear on steering wheel, shift lever, and pedals doesn't match the areas that have been restored. Coupe deVille scripts appear crooked as well.

As Ralph said, the appearance of meticulous restoration that has a lot of questions - on the basis of the incorrect interior alone, if nothing else.

A terrific looking car in all fairness - but best on the planet? He must be joking.

I know or a 59 series 62 convert with four thousand one hundred miles 105% original and I still can not swear it is "best on planet"

no claim irks me more, and it is almost always made by some jerk off dealer

It does sit way high in the back, the engine is painted the wrong color, and I don't see the power locks it supposedly has.  Also it is advertised as "certified pre-owned."  I didn't know Cadillac had a certified used program for 55 year old cars! On the other hand, the paint looks pretty nice and the grille is beautiful.

Wow.  Where to begin with this car?  Authenticity issues galore, possible titling issues.  If that's the best on the planet, then all other 1960's, including this one, should just be pushed off a cliff.  Period.

Gentleman, I really enjoyed the thread and your comments. As I have said before, I am not a '59-'60 guy, but even a '41 buff can pick out the many mistakes this person fluffs over.

That wouldn't be my biggest concern. He bought it 2 months ago for 22 grand less than what he's currently asking also knowing it is a series 62 coupe. I hope nobody buys this thinking they'll get the worlds best 60 Coupe DeVille!

I mentioned it to him that what he has is a dressed up coupe. From the auction report I can now see he was fully aware of that! He thanked me for telling him but has not changed his ad so he fully intends to dupe some unsuspecting buyer. Is there no law of misrepresentation in the US?

Maybe someone with the VIN info handy should "ask seller a question" about the VIN so there's some reference to the issue for unsuspecting buyers.

That sadly does not have to be put on his ad David. Questions are at the discretion of the seller.
