Hi

That '52 250 convertible is quite a bargain if its as good as it looks, stick shift too!

More variety of models, conditions and prices around the country:

A '40 110 sedan, looks good, photographed in the garage again, for the substantial asking price one would think driving out into the sunlight wouldn't be too much to ask:

I had never seen the rear window wiper on a 56 before, was this very common? Or is it an after market accessary?

Rear wiper also recently mentioned on the PAC Forum in this thread.

Remarks related to the rear wiper (and even a rear defroster) are to find there and here. Howard (HH56) published the follwing pic from the 51 accessory catalog.

Another nice example.

1954 pacific, you don't see these popping up too often, and this one is in good condition.

Is the Pacific basically a Caribbean with a hardtop?

The Pacific was the higher class of the two hardtop offerings for 1954, the other being the Clipper Panama. They were both based on the 122 wheelbase Mayfair introduced in 51. The Pacific was a standard assembly line car with no particular handwork involved. The Caribbean was based on the 51 convertible body but with a great deal of handwork to graft on rear fender extensions and hood scoop. The senior style tail lights on the Pacific are the result of adding bolted on adapters.

Thanks Ross for the clarification.

Hi

A '54 Pacific is as close to a Caribbean hardtop as one can get. Given how popular hardtops were then, why Nance didn't order a run of '54 Caribbean hardtops along with the convertibles is a mystery. Cadillac quickly found the Eldorado Seville contributed significant numbers to those high-unit-profit models.
