Pedigree Motorcars is proud to offer this special piece of automotive history. This 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman was reportedly special ordered by Sammy Davis Junior "the candy man" for details and information contact Ken Baker at 561-866-1601.

In 1974 Cadillac introduced this special edition of the Fleetwood Brougham called the Talisman. The Talisman took Cadillac Luxury to new heights. For the 1974 model year it was strictly a four passenger car with the a center console with storage compartments in the front as well as in the back. It had special Medici crushed velour as well as exclusive Talisman trim. The Talisman was the pinnacle of Cadillac Luxury, exclusivity, and prestige.

We are fortunate to be able to offer this very special Talisman. Every Talisman has a gold plaque in the center console created by Cadillac with the name of the person at the car was built for. The plaque in this one proudly reads specially built for Sammy Davis Jr, "The Candy Man". It also features a one off special Louis Vuitton vinyl roof. This special Cadillac is a one of a kind and cannot be duplicated.

The special vinyl top on this car is from Louis Vuitton. We are not able to authenticate when it was put on. However, we do believe it was done by Cadillac. We believe this because the quality of it is so good. The details are so perfect, There is no sign of aftermarket workmanship??. Regardless of how it was installed, it's quality is exquisite. There's no bubbling, and no signs of rust anywhere. There is no looseness to the vinyl and the stitching is exactly the way the standard top is.

The body and interior of this car?? are equally impressive. The body is straight with no rust or any evidence of damage repair. At 45 years old, this Cadillac is extremely impressive. The Victorian Amber Firemist paint??? is beautiful and has very few flaws. All of the chrome is beautiful and is free of any pitting. ? Inside, this car transcends time. The door panels dashboard headliner and seats are close to perfect. All of the interior chrome shines brightly, and is very impressive. All of the seats still have their firmness, the velour is beautiful, as is the headliner.??
