Vehicle Description
1962 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine
The 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine had to have been the ultimate
sign of luxury because not only were you cruising around in a
Cadillac, you had a driver. The body on this classic is very solid
and painted Black with fine Gold metal flake. The roof of the car
has a fresh coat of Blue metallic that really sets it off and gives
it that custom look. These cars had a lot of stainless trim which
you will find all in place and cleanly mounted. The large front and
rear chrome bumpers are also there and have a good shine. There are
a lot of windows on this classic, all of which is in good condition
with a slight tint. All of the exterior electrical is working
properly with the lenses nicely mounted in those cool classic fins.
The car has the fender skirts mounted on both sides in the rear and
can easily be added or removed. It sits on original style wheels
with hubcaps which are wrapped with thin white wall tires.
If you frequent car shows we are sure you have heard the saying "if
cars could talk, the stories they would tell." Well you have to
think this classic Limousine has a very unique story. Most
limousines were produced by outside companies who would cut and
stretch cars they bought from manufacturers. According to our
sources these were one of the few cars actually created in house by
GM due to the smaller approximately 2 foot stretch. After being
produced it was sure to have escorted around some pretty
interesting people especially if it was really used at Carswell Air
Force base as we suspect. You can even see footage of similar
Limousines being driven around when JFK himself landed in Fort
Worth. Even more interesting is the bullet hole found in the right
rear bumper. We are sure creative minds could come up with all
kinds of stories about this classics history but with our limited
records we will just say it gives it character.
Roaring to life under the steel hood of this Caddy is a 490 V8 that
was rebuilt 500 miles ago. It may not be decked out with chrome but
it still runs strong. It is backed with an automatic transmission
that shifts smoothly with no issues. The brakes have also just been
rebuilt. With a little cosmetic work here and in the interior this
car could be a hit at every car show. Or if rat rod is more your
style hop in and drive it as it is!
The interior is all the original cloth with bench seats in front in
rear. The headliner was just redone in Grey with new carpets also
added. In true limousine style it has the driver/passenger
partition which still has the original clock and ashtrays. Fold out
seats are also in place. The dash is all original as well with the
correct style knobs, switches, and gauges. The car has dual front
and rear AC units which are both mounted but need servicing. It
came from the factory with power windows which are still working
properly.
This is one cool classic that is only getting more rare as time
goes on. Not a lot of these were produced and even fewer are still
out there.
Take it home for $15,000.00!
