Listing Description
There is no mistaking early 60's American luxury cars, especially a Caddy!! Elegant styling, captivating appeal and a long swept tail with exquisite dual dorsal fins! Cadillac's Advertisements stated "A Wonderful Way to Start a New Decade"! Quite a statement, as this model year represented the companies return to Quiet Sophistication from the Wild Fins of the 58-59 years with excess trim! They Did enter a new era with wonderful, never to be duplicated elegance! This statuesque lady stands tall with shocking ORIGINALITY and CONDITION! Solid examples of Classic Caddy Hardtop's are few and far between and your opportunity to own one is now! Read on for the rest of the story!
According to Folk Lore and verbal statements of the previous owners, the 39,907 miles are actual with no signed documents! Currently owned by a gentleman here in Boise, who purchased it from the previous owner of 14 years who is also a Boise resident! He purchased it in Washington State with stated actual miles (which is evident by the Port Townsend Placard on the core support dated 1990)! In fact he believed the paint was original! After my careful professional inspection, all of the above is very very possible! Either it's an incredible original and/or a very well done older restoration! Nothing is out of place and this one is spectacular! All based on the incredible original interior, pedal wear, smooth dash, whistle straight rust free body, trim, glass and strong power-train! Just about every stitch of tantalizing chrome inside-n-out is simply amazing! Loaded with a rare and working Wonder-Bar radio!! One of 19,978 produced and I highly doubt many as nice as this lady still exist! One thing is for sure, it's definitely, a very well preserved survivor that others could be judged by! There is no question she has always been cherished, garaged and well cared for!
In closing, she will capture your senses! I like Fins-n-Chrome and this lady sports a bunch! This is the kinda car that will send chills up yer spine, cause others to stare and draw crowds at the show-n-shine! Put yer shades on! What a real estate car and/or just a great family cruiser! You will not find another just like her and they do not come along too often! ! Drop her windows for a wide open and airy hardtop feel! This is ONE COOL CADDY! Take yourself back in time WARP! BUY NOW!! Or As I always Say: Ya Snooze, Ya Lose! GOOD LUCK!!!! SPUDMAN
Known Items: A great northwest original body that's ROCK SOLID with No signs of Rust and Straight as a whistle! Everything appears original! The correct coded "Olympic White" paint is either the original and/or an older re-finish! This one had me scratching my head as possibly original paint! Jamb to Jamb this one is really nice with no paint lines and/or over-spray on anything! What I see is only well cared for age! She looks Great! PRISTINE CHROME/STAINLESS Inside and Out with the exception of a very minor (so minor not even visible in close-up) ding on the very end of the right side body trim! According to the previous owner, he re-plated the bumpers years ago only because they were showing some minor age/fade! It's interior is believed as 100% original with the only item known to be replaced is the carpet! The Dash is Crack Free and about as perfect as they get! The seating has no wear or tears (maybe had era-common clear plastic seat covers for years?) All instruments and speedo are completely operative! The Wonder Bar Radio even works! The clock seems to work most of the time! The power antenna is stuck at mid mast providing good reception. The believed matching # factory engine starts, runs and drives perfectly! The only noted items are small pin holes in the exhaust tailpipes and a minor yet common oil leak at the rear of the pan. A new water pump was just installed and runs cool as a cucumber! The transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly with no noted leaks. The Power Brakes are almost to good and Power Steering operates effortlessly! The Wide White Wall Tires are Like new with No Cracking! Overall a Wonderful Survivor! Drive It! No Air Conditioning but who cares, its worth the add if you must have it! Not New and Not Perfect but loaded with shocking originality! I found this car wonderfully entertaining, captivating and very enjoyable to drive! "It Is What It Is!" Let the pictures tell the rest of the story! Buy it! NICE!!
