Supplying Classic Cadillac Parts Since 1984
Our history dates back to 1984 when we began selling classic Cadillac parts out of an old 1744 farmhouse we were restoring. Soon after we built a pole barn on that property to branch out into Cadillac restoration work and eventually grew into the premier Cadillac restorer, worldwide.
If you're looking to buy parts for your Cadillac project, whether its for restoration or maintenance & repair, it makes sense to buy from a forty-plus year-old vendor & restorer with the direct Cadillac-specific knowledge and experience who knows these cars inside and out, the issues they face and which parts work and which don't. At Cadillac Parts & Restoration, we stock over 1,000 NOS Cadillac parts along with thousands of rebuilt, restored, reproduction and good OEM parts.
We're also the one-stop parts shop for Cadillac restorers, worldwide, who trust us and partner with us to provide and source the parts they need for their projects. The time savings translates into greater profit and less annoyance searching high and low, particularly for, hard-to-find parts. Give us a call at (845) 462-5959 M-F 9-5 Eastern to discuss your Cadillac project and all of its parts needs.
