'52 Cadillac Limo

For $29,500 I would expect that it would have a matching spare tire, the correct Delco reproduction battery. The top of the radiator should not be polished brass, but painted black. The fresh air vents appear to be correguated aluminum drier vent material, instead of the correct asphalt dipped cloth and wire duct tubing. The correct material is about $12 per foot, and only comes in 5 foot lengths, but when you are restoring a car to original, what is an extra $60 or $120 if you need 2 lengths? Sure, these are all small items that could quickly and relatively inexpensive changes to correct, however, if they would cheap out on these items, who knows what else they didn't restore correctly. I also noticed other items that are not correct for a 1952 Cadillac, but will leave them to others to discover.
 
The most un-sightly of the "issues" that this car has would be the radial tires!! It sits far too low with radial tires and it makes the tires look too small for the car. Not a good look.
 
Well somebody bit its sold. What I remember best about 52 Cadillacs is all needed an eight volt battery to start HOT too much compression for the six volt system. Olds had the same issue. Cured in 53 when the general went to 12 volts.
 
If you missed out on the limo they are selling a real sweet all original '59 Cadillac too right now.

Just comes in a not so nice grey.

They have a fancy way of talking about the cars they sell.
Almost every car has the same wording except for the model of the car that changes.

Any PCS person buy the limo ?
