styling and engineering prowess in a four door luxury sedan model
than the 1968 Cadillac 60 Special Fleetwood with its elegant
interiors of cloth or Sierra-grain leather and rare wood accents.
Drive one like this particular example and you will see why - its
hard to believe that this car was built almost 50 years ago! These
cars bristled with the latest in modern appointments and had few
rivals in the luxury market and were purchased only by the very
privileged elite. The all new 472/375HP V8 engine with 525 foot
pounds of torque was introduced in 1968, it was the biggest and
smoothest engine built by Cadillac to date and it proved
unsurpassed in the industry as the largest engine ever put in a
production passenger motor car and provided both sparkling
acceleration, yet also quiet and effortless highway cruising,
almost like having two engines! The car was also redesigned to
match its modern engine with a new grille with finely spaced
horizontal grille bars and distinct parking and headlamp
lights.This particular example was originally ordered at
'List-Oldsmobile Cadillac' of Bartlesville, Oklahoma and sold on
5/23/1968 to its long time original owner and reportedly the car
was rarely driven and it now has only 79K original miles. The car
is extremely clean with a very straight body with the the floor
boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas completely
original, solid and rust-free and the car has no signs of any
accidents and reportedly only one repaint in it's original 'Emperor
Blue Metallic' color since new. The front seats are still covered
in their factory plastic protection and the original 'Blue' color
cloth front seat is therefore in immaculate condition, as are the
rear seats. Please note that the original weatherstripping has aged
and could now be replaced if desired and there are some very minor
blemishes in the paint under very close inspection.The 472/375HP 4
barrel V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds
absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely
magnificently - must be driven to be fully appreciated - does not
miss a beat and purrs like a kitten! The transmission shifts
smoothly through the gears and the car is an absolute pleasure to
drive! The car has always obviously always been well maintained and
all the options work as they should including all the power
options, the power windows, power seats but please note that the
factory air conditioning is not working. The car boasts its
original spare wheel and jack in the truck and original dealer
handbook and Protecto-plate!
