Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Formal Sedan. For information and details

where their history is almost more interesting than the car itself.
Depending on whether you are an enthusiast and a fan of its
original owner or a Cadillac enthusiast, will determine what is
more important to you This is quite a car, and quite significant
car, lets first start with its history. This 1966 Fleetwood 75
formal sedan has been owned by the same family since new. It is
essentially a documented one owner car. Its original owner was the
great Ernest Tubb. Ernest was a songwriter, movie actor, and long
time Grand Old Opry star. He was known for being amongst one of the
most influential and important country performers in history. He
was inducted into the CMT Hall of Fame in 1965. Ernest passed away
on September 6, 1984. We are told that this car was in his basement
until March 23, 2016. This car is extremely well documented. We
have the original books with Mr. Tubbs familys information in it,
the data card from Cadillac, and even a letter from the governor of
Tennessee Allowing him to use a personalized license plate. We have
the original letter from the governor not a copy. The books that we
have are the original to the car and we even have the original
keys. This car is so original, that the original spare tire was in
the trunk We do not recommend ever using this tire. When we found
this car we were struck by its originality and its overall
condition. When we performed our usual inspection on the car, our
shop was amazed at how original everything in the car was. Only
requiring some basic maintenance, charging the air-conditioning,
and putting on a new set of modern radial tires And this Cadillac
Fleetwood was read to go. So far we have driven this car about 100
miles plan on driving it more. We are absolutely awestruck by how
smooth it rides, and how unbelievably smooth the engine runs, and
its overall performance. Both the front and rear air conditioning
units blow hard and cold. The original radio still works and the
electric antenna operates from the original radio controls. A
second a.m. radio is in the rear compartment. Everything in this
Cadillac Fleetwood 75 works. Even the clock works Yes the clock
actually works and keeps accurate time. All of the gauges are
functioning as they should And every light bulb lights up. This
Cadillac truly is a time capsule that needs to be seen to be
appreciated. This car is so spectacular, it can be driven and
enjoyed or shown with pride. This car surely would win in a
preservation class at any Concours show. It also has the potential
to be a senior AACA winner. This is a completely unrestored
original example. Yes, there are a couple of marks on it, and some
areas where the paint has been touched up. However, these areas are
so small we really cant photograph them. We also do not want to
take away from this car is originality. The most to discriminating
Cadillac enthusiast will appreciate this car in its entirety. The
Cadillac Fleetwood 75s were extremely rare. Two models were made.
The formal sedan, as seen here, and the limousine. The biggest
difference between them was the limousine had a division window,
the formal sedan did not. There were other minor detailed
differences, but the division window being the most prevalent. Most
Fleetwood 75s were produced with the division window. Thats making
the formal sedan the rarer of the two. Fewer than 600 were produced
in 1966 and very few remain. Most of these were sold for commercial
use, so to find one that was sold for private use and held onto by
the family is almost impossible to find. At Pedigree we show cars
by appointment only. As with all of our cars, inspections are
welcomed and encouraged. We have over 150 photographs that are
available upon request. For additional information and contact Ken
