This is a true business coupe not a modified one. It still has the original wood platform in the rear. There is no back seat in this car, and there never was. This car was originally purchased by the Bell Telephone Co.
The car was originally white. These cars were completely deleted of all trim, radio, and even the rear windows didn't roll down. This car was painted by the Bell Telephone Co a medium Green/Grey. The Black was painted sometime in the late 1970's. There is no rust on the car that can be found. There is the normal surface rust here and there but no rust thru spots that i am aware of. The glass is nice for a good driver. There are no cracks or chips and very little delamination around the edges. There is no front carpet. It was removed because it was in bad shape. The trunk mat and platform mat are both missing. The front seat and the door panels are in great condition. Great foam in the seat. The back does not sag either. Still has the original trunk insulation on the trunk lid.
The chrome on the car is pitted but very very restorable. The rust on the rear bumper is just surface rust. The condition of the bumpers are great.
The car has been cleaned from top to bottom. There is very little grease and grime on the undercarriage. Everything has been meticulously cleaned and checked. But nothing was painted, so nothing is hidden. The paint is not perfect and should not be expected that it is. There is very little shine on it. The paint is very oxidized, however looks great with great PATINA! Some paint is peeling off on roof and other small areas. Only the black is peeling off down to the Greenish/grey paint.
The engine is original and just went thru a major tune up. New fuel pump, carb, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, rebuild original generator, new water pump, new fuel sending unit, cleaned and sealed fuel tank, cleaned and checked radiator. Exhaust seams to be mostly original, except new donut at manifold. Car does have a slight engine oil leak coming from the front timing cover area. Engine, Trans, and Differential all serviced.
This car Runs & Drives Beautifully. All four drum brakes are new. New shoes, wheel cylinders, springs, and turned drums. New shocks too.
There is only one spot on the car that I can find that has any Bondo. It is a softball size dent that was covered in the right rear quarter panel. The front right fender has some paint checking, but does not seem to have any filler work in it. This car also has brand new Michelin Tires on all four corners along with original poverty hub caps.
Again this car is a running and driving car. It has been lowered alittle back in the day. But has a great stance and is a great driver. You won't find a nicer car to start a restoration, or just to have a fun driver as is. Car is not currently registered, But I do have a Title. Also have original air cleaner that will go with the car too.
Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early.
You can see this car to inspect it by responding thru Ebay or calling 909.894.9451. Any other questions or pictures please call too. This is a one of a kind find Dont Miss Out! Thanks Brian

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
