Here you go, Walter. I've never seen one of these. There is a '49 Fleetwood (?) in the garage beside this one.

Thanks for sharing. The bumper ends look solid. Those are worth about 2k... and the cadillac license frame is hard to come by.
Must have been a northern car since new. No air. Odd in a formal limo (partition with leather chauffeur compartment).
55 is my least favorite series 75 rear seat design...

Wouldn't the '55's still run the 331? If so, it must not have been fast. It looks like it would be heavy. And hot with no AC.

Correct. Last year of the 331 and the original design hydramatic.
Speed was never a factor with a series 75... unless it was a livery car transporting fares to airports, it was probably never driven over 60 mph in its life.
