"Grand Rapids Grandeur"

Cadillac used the Coupe de Ville to show what American luxury could look like in the early 1950s, and this one comes with a story that’s hard to beat. It was bought new in Grand Rapids, has stayed with one family and in that city its whole life, and has been kept in heated storage. It hasn’t seen snow in 35 years.

Finished in black with an Alpine White top, this Coupe de Ville has a formal, two tone look that shows off the long, graceful lines of a classic Cadillac. Chrome bumpers and exterior trim give it the bright, jewel like presence the brand was known for. A car with one family behind it and decades of protected storage tends to show it, and this one wears its age beautifully.

Power comes from the 331ci V8, paired with a 4 speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, a smooth, effortless combination that suited Cadillac’s reputation for quiet, relaxed luxury. Recent engine service has been completed, and all service work has been handled by the family’s own auto repair business, so the car has been looked after by people who know it well. It’s the kind of continuity that’s rare to find on a car of this era.

Inside, a green cloth and vinyl interior gives the cabin a warm, period correct look that matches the car’s formal character. Factory air conditioning was a luxury in its day, and the power seats and power windows all work, adding comfort and convenience that was well ahead of its time.

This Coupe de Ville is a rare opportunity to buy a one family, Grand Rapids car that has been carefully stored and professionally maintained its entire life, ready to be enjoyed at shows, on cruise nights, or on a quiet drive in true Cadillac style.
