Experts may have already recognised it, this is a rare Cadillac Fleetwood LIMOUSINE!
Actually delivered new as a limousine, not a replica!
Two owners in total, including 1 Dutch owner for the last 13 years.
Restored once in the past, years ago. Not bad for a 66-year-old car. They did a very good job back then, still in exemplary condition in 2020.
Bodywork in very good condition, see pictures! The Cadillac was entirely sandblasted and sprayed in the past. The paintwork still looks nice today but has some minor wear in places, so please don’t expect A1 Porsche quality!
You will find a true work of art under the bonnet. A beautiful V8 in a rust-free engine bay. The engine starts well and runs well. The automatic transmission shifts well and the brakes work perfectly (perhaps even better now than back in 1954). The boot still has the original upholstery, the spare wheel and of course a large LPG gas tank.
Petrol and LPG vehicle.
Now, let’s talk about the interior. As far as we are able to judge, this is still the first original interior from 1954 - so also 66 years old. It is in an amazingly good condition! The door cards are slightly less good. The dashboard is very neat without any cracks. Lighting etc are fully functional! Very small dent on the bonnet.
The middle window also works well electrically! Front windows open electric, rear windows need to be checked. The car has always been part of a collection, from an American car collector. It was used annually for short drives to keep it in working condition, credit to the collector. Some improvements could be made and some things could be checked but that’s only typical for a vintage car.
