Car Body #173


As of May 27, 2025, this is the information we have about this car:

[Feb.01.2017] Car #173 was formerly owned by Cadillac Dealer, Dave To well of Akron, OH.Enthusiast George McVey bought it from Dave in 1980 and sold it again in late 2003. The photos I took of the car in Dave Towell's premises, back in June 1978, show it with saber-spoke wheels and stainless steel (Fleetwood) lower fender trim. Matt Larson says that at least four 1953 Eldorados got the same fender treatment; he adds that saber wheels were seen also on many '53 Eldorados, after these wheels became available, starting in 1955. Like most of Dave's cars, this one carried his personalized DT" license tags, this being number 11 in the collection. I wonder where it is today? Late Extra [Nov. 2010]: the car is currently located in California. The new owner, Todd Todd, kindly sent me the photo of the restored car. What a beauty.
