Car Body #18


As of Nov. 24, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:

[Feb.01.2017] Car #18 [added 10.10.2010] This one wasbrought to my attention by its current owner, Larry D. Bailor of Dalmatia, PA. Larrysaid: ' The car was originally sold by SchrefflerCadillac in Sunbury, PA to a Mr. Ross of Lewisburg, PA. He apparently used it as a dailydriver. It was purchased from the same dealer by my father Harry W. Bailor in 1964 and wasused as a daily driver by him until 1968 when ownership was transferred to me. It was usedas a daily driver by me until 1974 when it was retired. It has 125,000 miles on it and isin very poor condition due to being driven in Pennsylvania winters with snow and road saltand 36 years of storage in a dirt floor garage. When my father purchased the car, theleather seats had been coated with some type of liquid vinyl which then cracked. As aresult, vinyl seatcovers were installed. The air suspension system was converted tosprings while my father owned the car. An alternator was installed to replace thegenerator at some point in his ownership. The Mouton carpeting was showing signs of wearand was replaced by a white plush carpeting. Otherwise it is complete, but VERY rusty.There is body damage to the passenger side due to an incident with a utility pole and tothe driver's side rear door which was hit by another vehicle. Glass is good except for afour inch vertical crack at the bottom of the driver's side rear door window. I had hopedto restore it as a retirement project, but now realize that it is beyond what I would everhave the ability or means to undertake. I would consider offers from someone who wouldwant to undertake such a MAJOR restoration or who would be able to make use of it forparts to keep another Brougham on the road.' Late Extra(Jan. 2011): The car has found a new owner.
