Side-top vinyl chrome trim is weeping in minor places. Interior dash light switch needs to be replaced. Power Antenna should be replaced too.

All Interior/Exterior badges are is original throughout. We replaced the antenna with a "close-second". This electric antenna does not have the plug for the CB Radio, thus the CB does not turn on. Change that antenna, and the CB will work again. CB's are fun, and were the rave in the middle to late 1970's. Many of these Caddy's came with Cassette players, but this was special ordered with a CB (citizens band radio) for the "breaker-breaker one nine" crowd; a rare combination (sign of the times).
