1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville restoration

In 1956, Cadillac offered their top-of-the-line Eldorado model in a hardtop version. To differentiate the models, they gave the convertible version the "Biarritz" moniker and named the hardtop the "Seville". Each version offered luxury and styling not paralleled by other American luxury-car manufacturers and these models are now highly sought-after collectible cars.

The "Cadillac Specialists" of Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) have restored many Eldorados and pictured below is an example of one of their award-winning projects. This 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville restoration has won national awards from the Antique Automobile Club of America and the Cadillac & LaSalle Club.

Restoration tips for the RARE Cadillac Sabre wheel

Quite possible the most desired accessory item for 1955-1958 Cadillac Eldorados is the "Sabre" wheel. Offered in either silver or gold anodizing, these wheel were constructed with an aluminum center. This new (at the time) and unique construction is also a big reason why the wheels are so sought after because that aluminum center didn't hold up well over the years leading many sets to be sscraapped and replaced with more traditionally-constructed wheels.

However, when classic Cadillacs of this era became more collectible, the desire for a set of Cadillac Sabre wheels increased. Finding and buying a pair of these wheels in rough condition will set you back a pretty penny. The restoration will likely cost more. However, when completed, they will add to the authenticity of your Eldorado as well as the value.
