In 1949, Cadillac introduced its first two-door hardtop and named it the Coupe de Ville, a term which meant 'an enclosed four-wheel vehicle for two passengers.' For Cadillac, however, it unambiguously meant 'two-door hardtop coupe' for a decade.
The 1955 Cadillac Coupe de Ville proved to be very popular, with nearly 33,300 units sold, making it second only to the four-door sedan, narrowly outselling a less expensive and more basic hardtop coupe.
This particular example has had just two owners from new. Delivered to Lawrence Harris in Phoenix, Arizona, it remained in his ownership for 15 years. The second owner, initially in Arizona then latterly in Michigan, purchased the car in 1971. The car was later purchased by the daughter and son-in-law from the family estate. While in their care, the engine and transmission were completely rebuilt. In 1989, the exhaust, electrical, and braking systems were thoroughly overhauled. The original Alpine White over Pecos Beige finish was renewed in 1991, along with re-chromed bumpers and complete detailing.
This Coupe de Ville is equipped with power steering, power brakes, power seat and windows, and factory air conditioning. It has been driven in excess of 100,000 miles.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2016
