- Video of my 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood. Options include AC with ducts, power windows, 6 way power seat, power antenna, power operated foot switch for the radio(demonstrated in video), power brakes, autronic eye, power steering, fog lights, gold anodized grille. This car has 44K original miles and is mostly original. All of the chrome is original and the car has had one repaint.
It just does NOT get much better then this. Hang on to this baby as it is and will continue to be worth a small fortune!
WOW! Just WOW!
Beautiful 1956 Cadillac.I have a 1960, but always admired & wanted a 1956. Thanks for turning the camera upside down, so we could ser the A/C outlets in the ceiling/dome. Magnificent looking car.
Factory AC was very rare in 1956, even in luxury cars.
😱🤔I wonder why he's trying to show all the imperfections.📹
This 1956 is beautiful to be 63yrs old. 🏆🏆🏆
Now that I'm old, I dream about the comfortable ride the old Caddy's provided.
My old man had a 1963.
what a fabulous 1956 cadillac!
wonderful car - I had a 60 Fleetwood w/ vinyl top - first thing I did was replace all the springs - made a huge difference in handling.
Perfectly beautiful! The antenna and radio both worked in my '56 when I first got it in 2002, but about a year later they just simply stopped--I've never delved into it, keep hoping maybe they'll start up again on their own!
... great colors! ...
At about 2:16 you see the reostat that controlled the A/C fan. My grandmother had one of these and I used to aggravate her by playing with the switch. I think it was intended that the old lady ride in back. Not the kid. Takes me back to trips cross country in that monster. It sure ate the gas. Hers was black with grey inside. The a/c was necessary for the Texas heat. I remember the radios. My mom's Super 88 and dad's Coupe de Ville also had those Wonderbars. Magic.
MAN! What a nice video!
This is a real find. Someday, if the new owner keeps it all original, it may end up in a museum.
Cool video!
What a beautiful American car! A classic!
Big and Beauuuuuutiful!♥️♥️♥️
Look at the funbags on that caddy😍😍😍😍
They had tubes in the radios back then and that is why they took time to come on. My guess is that you need to replace a tube somewhere. Not a price problem. A labor problem.
Elvis had something like this!
amazing car :)
My dad had this car when I was very young. I felt like I had my own bedroom in the back seat of was so huge. He sold it to a guy who drove it into a river. Never saw it again.
Beautiful!!
Wish the sound and camera work had been a bit better.
Still, very pleasing.
If they stopped together, check the fuse!
I have a 55 60 special. They are huge! Weigh almost 5,000 lbs. I'm removing the autronic eye because they produce 800 volts in the amp.
nice cah.
.
see how throatee the engine sounds? Those old GM cahs were loud but that's why they had good power.
.
half the fun is waiting for the radio to warm up.
.
Does the air conditioning blow cold air in this car? I remember REVERSE being all the way down in the shifter.
.
What a tank, Detroit at it's finest. Now I want to buy another.
That's right! It worked for awhile when I first got it, then quit. But the radio antenna quit working at the same time which makes me think it's something other than a tube. You raised and lowered the antenna by pushing or pulling the station tuner knob! Well that could be caused by a tube, then!
@delta3garcia tubes are for air conditioning
WTF? Did you turn the camera upside down and drop it on the floor? Laughably bad camera work!
Anybody that can hear and see can tell you that A) right at 10 mph and not 20 as the needle is on the FIRST mark and 2) the sound of a leaking exhaust manifold is what you hear during acceleration.
She beautiful
Magnificent!
Gorgeous color on a gorgeous car. Is it safe to assume that the Fleetwoods were all pillared sedans while the Sedans de Ville were all pillarless hardtops? I can't recall seeing a hardtop Fleetwood until the 1957 model year.
44,000 miles on a 56 year old car? I don't think so. So many people don't realize that old car odometers clicked back over to zero at 100,000 miles. I see all kinds of old cars for sale on ebay, autotrader classics, and in the newspaper that are 40-50 years old and claim mileage of 30,000-50,000 miles. The odometer might show a low mileage, but the question is how many times has it clicked over and reset.
Sweet 56
The car was pampered on a dirt road,( Under 20 mph). Once the car went on pavement; >30 MPH an engine knock was easy to hear.I'd consider this car if the price point was,< $18,500 USD
Interesting video! Is that 14,xxx original miles? Thanks...
@johnhowardesq Does the reostat have different fan speeds? I remember those too but never tried it out, let me know.
Bob
just wondering how much this car sold for? is this something I could afford? lol
What are those tubes on the back window for?
delta3garcia Air Conditioning.
That was the a/c you saw in the trunk.
Take your emergency brake off before you drive
