Vehicle Description
1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham- ONLY 12,843 Miles! -Full
Custom
If you are searching for a one of a kind Customized Cadillac with a
really interesting history and build... Well, the pictures tell the
story! At the time of the build at Custom Craft, the story told by
our seller and supported by the builder is that President Nixon's
Limousine was being built at the same time and coincidentally, the
initials "RMN" belonged to both the owner of this Cadillac and
Richard M. Nixon. Please note that this Cadillac is being sold is
"as is" condition and the seller has not indicated any problems
that need to be addressed. He has had the car looked over by a
mechanic himself and addressed any needs it had according to his
statements. You are welcome to have it looked over by your own
mechanic, of course. Our seller has it insured by HAGERTY Classic
Car insurance for $164,000. And has an Appraisal at $150,000. He is
open to considering ALL offers. Please note the image of the
Newspaper article in the Detroit Free Press from Sunday, August
29th 1971 in the image gallery. This is simply a well kept, "one of
a kind" 12,843 mile 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham "as it was
built" with noted minor flaws from age. Make an offer.
A note about the company who built this car:
"Custom Craft" was a thriving company specializing in building cars
for those who wanted "personalized cars" in Detroit, Michigan. Many
clients had Custom Cadillacs built by Custom Craft purportedly
including Richard M. Nixon, Steve McQueen, Tom Jones, several
English Rock Groups (including "The Who"), Smokey Robinson,
Liberace, and the King of Saudi Arabia (to name only a few!). The
Custom Craft Company was owned by Heinz Prechter, Who founded ASC
(American Sunroof Corporation)- who is well know for creating the
Sunroof Market for Vehicles in the United States.By 1967, Prechter
relocated his company, now known as ASC Inc., to Southgate,
Michigan and began expanding beyond sunroofs to custom-tailored
vinyl tops, building prototypes and other customized vehicles. At
its peak, ASC grew to employ more than 5,300 at 60 sites across the
U.S., Canada, Germany and South Korea. Prechter was inducted
posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2004, where he had
been previously honored as their Industry Leader of the Year in
1990 and given a Distinguished Service Citation Award in 1996.
Finally, he was elected to the German American Hall of Fame in
2014.
