The ultimate symbol of success for any upwardly mobile American in the mid-1950s was to own a Cadillac. Few cars epitomize the optimistic mid-century Eisenhower-era more than this 1955 Coupe de Ville. Built not only to impress, but to take advantage of the new system of high-speed highways being constructed across the country at the time. The smooth and powerful 331-cu. in., 230-hp V-8 engine, and four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission made the elegant 1955 Cadillac ideally suited for all that America’s roads had to offer.

This exceptional example is finished with a stunning red paint scheme that is highlighted by brilliant chrome bumpers and abundant, brightly polished, stainless and chrome trim and moldings. The luxurious interior features sumptuous two-tone red and white leather seats complimenting the exterior. Attention to detail is prevalent throughout the car, from the fit and finish of the body, to the beautifully detailed engine bay and trunk compartment. Adding to the driver’s comfort and convenience, this Cadillac is factory equipped with power windows, power steering, power brakes, and dual side-view mirrors. A set of wide whitewall radial tires mounted on a set of Cadillac wire wheels also add to the beauty and roadworthiness of this Coupe de Ville.

As it was when new in 1955, this carefully maintained Cadillac will be the source of pride for its next owner. With an abundance of power and a full complement of luxury features, this Cadillac is the perfect choice for car shows, club events, and touring in comfort and style.
