White over red is stunning, nd while it isn't a show piece, t is most definitely a show stopper.The important thing to note is that this car has led an easy life and even the chassis is cleaner than you'd expect from a 45-year-old piece. Applied in 2013, he white paint looks dramatic, hich makes the body seem about a mile long thanks to pointed quarter panels that leave no question about what kind of car this is. It looks good even up close, ith a great gloss, ood body fit, nd plenty of chrome trim to dress it up. The crisp lines and forward-canted headlights accentuate the long, ow look and all of it is quite nicely presented, ncluding the flush-fitting fender skirts. Sure, here are a few signs of use here and there, ut for a Cadillac, hat means character, nd this is a car you can drive cross-country without worrying about dust or road rash.
