1956 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 special, stretch limousine project, wedding car

Cadillac Fleetwood 1956 Description

1956 Cadillac Fleetwood series 60 special
The vehicle being auctioned is a project car which I unfortunately no longer have the room for. Originally envisioned as a wedding car, it could potentially be used for just about any special occasion.
What it has:

• The entire drivetrain, suspension, and electrical system were transferred from a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria police car. As such, it has all of the mechanical features of a modern automobile. Mechanical service and repair parts can be sourced from any auto parts store, and because it has a fully functional OBD II system, problems can be diagnosed and repaired by any Ford dealers service department.

• The floor platform and frame were CAD designed and every piece has been documented. In the event that the car is damaged in an accident, these drawings can be used to fabricate all the pieces needed to perform the repair. They will be supplied to the buyer in PDF format.

• The car has 4 frame rails; 2 down the center, and 2 at the outer edge. They are of a welded ladder rail design and are epoxy coated for corrosion protection.

• Floors are fabricated from 18ga and 20ga galvanized steel. They are epoxy coated top and bottom.

• The underside of the floors are protected by ABS plastic splash shields.

• Body stretch sections are fabricated from 18ga galvanized steel.

• Hood, fenders, trunklid, and lower rear quarter panels are molded fiberglass. The molds for these parts (EXCEPT for the trunklid) come with the car.

• Drive shaft is a 2 piece unit utilizing the aluminum police car shaft for the rear segment. (The driveshaft HAS NOT been balanced.)

• Gas tank is an 18 gallon polyethylene unit and has been relocated to above the rear axle. The fuel filler has been relocated to the left side quarter panel.

• Taillights have new reproduction lenses and are fitted with LED's.

• Custom flat side glass is laminated solex green with DOT designations.

• Roof glass is tempered solex green with a clear polyester inner film for shatter protection. Roof glass has DOT designations.

• Rear seats: foam is firm 4" and extra firm 6" with varnished 3/4" plywood base and 1" square steel frame.

• Rear view camera with night vision integrated into the high mounted brake light housing, for use as a the rear view mirror. (There is a second input in the monitor which could be used for a back-up camera. The second camera is NOT included.)

• Glass and window regulator for a center divider are included.

• Double convoluted rear air springs for increased load capacity and vehicle leveling.

• Rear A/C and heating unit (included but not plumbed).
