Actual Miles, Per Owner, Taken on Consignment This beautifully
restored 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Talisman represents the
pinnacle of Cadillac luxury during the mid-1970s. Acquired from
California by its current owner in 2023 with just over 67,000
original miles, this exceptionally well-preserved example underwent
an extensive restoration over the following years, with more than
$67,000 invested to return the car to its original elegance while
preserving its remarkable authenticity. Finished in its
factory-correct Chesterfield Brown with a matching vinyl roof, the
Fleetwood presents beautifully and retains the sophisticated
styling that made Cadillac the benchmark for American luxury. As
part of the restoration, numerous exterior components were renewed,
including weather seals, roof rails, hood insulation, door lock
cylinders, aprons, door bumpers, and trunk bumpers. Distinctive
Fleetwood Talisman badging, quad headlights, cornering lights, dual
mirrors, and factory full wheel covers complete its stately
appearance. The Talisman package offered Cadillac's most luxurious
interior, and this example showcases its signature Medium Amber
Medici button-tufted velour upholstery with individual rear seats
separated by a locking center console. Rich woodgrain trim accents
the dashboard and door panels, while rear footrests further enhance
passenger comfort. Factory amenities include power-adjustable front
seats, power windows, automatic climate control, push-button AM/FM
radio, and air conditioning, which was serviced and converted to
R134a refrigerant in 2025. Power comes from Cadillac's legendary
472 cubic-inch V8, equipped from the factory with a four-barrel
carburetor and paired with a smooth-shifting Turbo Hydramatic
three-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical servicing has
included replacement of the fuel pump and ignition coil in 2025,
repair of the rear air suspension system, and a fresh oil change
performed in 2026, ensuring the car is ready to be enjoyed. Rolling
on factory 15-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers wrapped in
235/75 Nexen N'Priz AH5 tires, this Fleetwood delivers the
effortless ride quality Cadillac was renowned for. The odometer
currently displays approximately 64,000 miles, while the title
reflects 67,000 actual miles. Included with the sale are extensive
service records documenting the restoration and maintenance
completed under current ownership. A rare and highly optioned
Fleetwood Brougham Talisman, this Cadillac is an outstanding
example of the craftsmanship, comfort, and unmistakable presence
that defined America's flagship luxury automobile during the 1970s.
Whether added to a Cadillac collection or enjoyed on the road, it
is a striking testament to the era when Cadillac truly set the
standard for luxury motoring. -- This item is a part of Saratoga
