Cadillac Sabre wheels – will they fit on your model year?
Posted by Lars Schenk in Restoration, Parts, Sources & Dealers on April 20th, 2009
Sabre wheels were standard on Eldorados from 1955 to 1958 and optional on other models. These are not wheel covers, but actual wheels/rims. In my understanding sabre wheel are the successor for the spoke wheel rims that were used on eldos before 1955. Today they are highly desired amoung Cadillac collectors. They allow to add dignity to your classic cadillac (1955 to 1958) without to losing authenticity even if it’s not an eldo.
But watch out to buy the correct sabre wheels for your modell year. Read on for further information that lists the differences amount the production years. Read the rest of this entry »

A little something about the 57 C. The car belonged to Richard & Jeanne Dodge from Walnut Creek CA..according to the insurance evidence found in the glove compartment..and it was in use as late as apr.22.85…
I will not restore it to a complete original 57…I guess it will be a mild custom..maybe a lowrider..have to think about that…
