Vehicle Description
This 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 60 Special is a premium
classic cruiser that's complete right down to its big 429 V8. But
there's also the right upgrades like a continental kit and modern
air conditioning. So you know its cool factor is the only thing
that outweighs this long, low classic sedan.
True Cadillac fans know the value of the top-of-the-line Fleetwood.
So, a big executive sedan like this only gets more prestigious with
age, and for some, the 1965 redesign is the ultimate car. The
stacked headlights that stretch out like pontoons; the long artful
hood that starts at a crisp point and creates a style line that
doesn't end until the rear doors; and sharp fins that were placed
above and below the taillights. Even the wheel package is elegantly
terrific with bright wire wheels, whitewall tires, and rear fender
skirts. Those who appreciate classic style will enjoy the fact that
this appears to be largely an original car, and it even retains the
correct Ascot Gray paint. Of course, there's always room for the
right upgrades. This was a car that celebrated its size, and it
always knew how to make a grand entrance. So it certainly seems
fitting that it's now capped off with a continental kit.
The Fleetwood Brougham was all about being the pinnacle of luxury
and style, and the interior is a direct reflection. When you open
the door, you'll love seeing the intricate light blue interior that
coordinates so nicely with the exterior gray. This has been
restored in the right places, like the headliner, carpeting and
door seals to deliver a proper luxury Cadillac feeling. And the
wreath pattern on the seats are an instant reminder this is the top
of the class. The handsome instrument panel is centered around the
driver, with a skinny steering wheel that's easy to see through to
the wide speedometer spanning the width of the instrument panel.
It's easy to get comfortable in this Caddy with features like the
power seat, fold-down armrests, and tilt/telescope steering column.
There are even very cool features like the power windows with
provisions for power vent windows. And since this is the kind of
classic that has enough room for all your family and friends, it's
great to have recently serviced R134a air conditioning.
Even with all these great features, there is one BIG reason you
really want this sedan: the 429 cubic-inch engine. The V8 looks
very correct under the hood, right down to the blue on the block
and valve covers. This is believed to be the original motor. And
you have the combination of low mileage and a well-maintained
package that creates a strong powerhouse for this classic. Topped
with a four-barrel carburetor, this monster motor makes big power
and big torque to move all this sheetmetal with ease - especially
when paired with the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic
transmission. It's finished off with a dual exhaust that strikes
just the right tone of power without losing the Cadillac poise. As
expected from a Cadillac, the rides have a smoothness that soaks up
bumps like a hovercraft. As you're enjoying the road trip, the
power steering and power brakes (with newer booster) are there to
keep you comfortably in control.
Complete with maintenance records, an executive-level classic Caddy
never goes out of style. So you know this one has the right look
and features to be your new favorite vintage cruiser. Call now!
