Recently Completed 1964 Cadillac Restoration Project

1964 Cadillac Restoration Now Complete

Reputation and advertising are important components to attracting new restoration clientele. However, when you combine one or both with an in-person meeting where a prospective Cadillac

restoration customer can also closely examine examples of your work.

That was the case at the Cadillac & LaSalle Club's 2017 Grand National Meet in Las Vegas. Three of our restoration customers had cars displayed at the prestigious meet known for stringent judging standards. It was there that an enthusiast who owned a low-mileage and original 1964 Cadillac Eldorado met our team with whom he discussed his car's needs.

We were able to walk him through the show field to guide his inspection of our work. After doing so, he was impressed enough to send his prized Eldorado from his home in Oregon all the way across the nation to our Cadillac restoration facility in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Over the years, he amassed a collection of new, old stock parts that were used for much of the work. While this was not a full, frame-off project and was limited in scope, every bit of our experience, expertise, and skill was applied to make for a magnificent completed project. You can see the car pictured above taken just before it was sent back home to its happy owner.

Interested parties should contact Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) to discuss their project.

Cadillac Restoration Success - CLC Grand National Meet

Year after year, classic Cadillacs restored by Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) participate in the

prestigious Cadillac & LaSalle Club (CLC) Grand National Meet. Long considered the premier organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Cadillac brand, the clubs annual meet draws the finest original and restored Cadillacs from North America.

In 2014, the Grand National Meet saw three of CPR's Cadillac restoration projects entered for the notoriously rigid judging. When the results were announced at the meet ending awards banquet, all three cars earned a First Place in their respective class.

The award-winning cars were: a 1936 Cadillac V8; a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville and a 1959

1936 Cadillac restoration project

Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Each car underwent an exhaustive frame-off restoration by the CPR team and looked and drove as well as they did when they originally left the showroom.

The Cadillac Parts & Restoration team has served the classic Cadillac community since 1984 and has produced some of the world's finest restored Cadillacs.

Cadillac Interior and Upholstery Restoration Services

The interior of your classic Cadillac is the final touch on a restoration and while the highly-polished paint and gleaming chrome will bring a smile to the face of an owner, the luxury is derived when seated inside of the car.

Newly restored dash components, carpeting along with newly upholstered leather seats and door panels are signature elements from America's premier luxury car manufacturer.

Moreso than most other car makes, the Cadillac interior is a more difficult job. Parts are harder to find and matching the color and grain pattern is crucial. With thirty years of specific Cadillac restoration experience, CPR's (formerly as FEN Enterprises) Cadillac interior and upholstery restorations can be found on some of the world's finest restored Cadillacs.
