Many of our customers are familiar with the Cadillac automotive brand name. This luxury vehicle division of General Motors is going strong to this day, offering buyers options ranging from sedans to SUVs. However, with this listing, we are going back in time where Post-War Luxury was a thing. There’s always a brilliant, rich story that comes with cars like this. Fleetwood Metal Body was an automobile coachbuilder founded in the early 1900s that was acquired by GM in 1925. As Cadillac became more selective in offering bodies after 1934, this well-preserved 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is worth adding to your classic collection. This gem awaits in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its next lucky buyer.
Vehicles built in the 40s have a unique look to them and will definitely turn heads when they roll down modern traffic. Seeing these cars is all the more special because so few of them were ever produced. Coated in glossy black paint, this 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is surrounded by an arsenal of chrome all around it. The body glides elegantly on top of a front independent suspension with coil springs and a semi-elliptic leaf spring suspension at the rear. The whitewall tires add a beautiful period correct look while the 4-wheel hydraulic drum brake system offers stopping power. As you step inside this 1949 Cadillac Series 75, the brown interior fitted with cloth bench seats welcomes you with a vintage charm. The three-spoke steering wheel is ornamental to this cabin, while the gauge cluster displays fuel and coolant temperature, a horizontal speedometer, battery voltage, and oil pressure. down below the steering wheel, there are a bunch of switches and pullouts. There is a vintage radio and a clock off to the right side of the dash as well.
Under the hood of this 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is a 331 cubic in General Motors 5.4-liter V8 engine. The 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission that is married to this engine marks Cadillac's first year of offering this option. This engine, which is Cadillac's first overhead-valve V8, produced 160 horsepower and considerably strengthened the brand's performance reputation.

Of The Town. That’s what de Ville means. Cadillac intended this series of full-size luxury cars to literally be the talk of the town, it seems. The de Ville name was seen between 1958 and 2005, and what we have for sale today is a second-generation 1963 Cadillac de Ville 4-Door Sedan. Hailing from Midland, Texas, this 48,761-mile machine comes with a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox and a 390ci V8 under the hood. It’s also got aftermarket wheels for a bit of distinctive style. If you want a car that is greatly representative of American automotive luxury in the Sixties, this is one of the best candidates.
The Cadillac de Ville series is a full-size luxury car from Cadillac, made between 1958 and 2005 across eight generations. The term de Ville means “of the town”, indicating that Cadillac intended the model to become the talk of the town, literally. Offered in sedan, coupe and convertible forms, early generations are renowned for their flamboyant styling. Take this second generation 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville as a prime example. With a 390 under the hood and a lovely Nevada Silver paint job, this machine awaits a new owner in Santa Rosa, California. Grab it while you can because cars like this don’t stay on the market for long.
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedan for twenty years, the Fleetwood served as the pinnacle offering from this iconic American luxury automaker between 1976 and 1996. The actual origins of Fleetwood are hazy, as it was used as a trim line on other Cadillacs since 1935, since Fleetwood was actually a coachbuilder who built bodies for automakers, most notably, Cadillac. The first proper Fleetwood model was actually front-wheel drive, with the second generation switching to rear-wheel drive. However, the Fleetwood Brougham remained rear-wheel drive, as is this 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from Ford Collins, Colorado. The car has got a 307 under the hood, and just over 25,000 miles on the clock.
Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.
Let us take you back to the ‘50s, an era when some of the most dramatic design features were bestowed upon automotive culture. Our subject car belongs to Dodge, an American automotive brand that is renowned to date. The Royal was introduced in 1954 as Dodge's top trim level. It was a significant model for the company as it partook Chrysler's $100 million "Forward Look" program and saved the company by doubling sales over the previous year. 1959 was the last year for the Dodge Royal, and the advertising theme for that year's product line was "Newest of Everything Great," underlining the brand's focus on innovation and modern style. Our subject Dodge Royal is from its last iteration as well, boasting a reupholstered interior and several upgrades. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, it awaits its new owner.
With its name derived from Monterey Bay, the same inspiration for the famous Monterey Jack cheese, the Mercury Monterey was a full-size automobile by Mercury that was available between 1952 and 1974. Mercury itself, the mid-tier luxury division of Ford sat between Ford and Lincoln, and, sadly, was retired in 2011. So, this is one of those classic American names from a defunct manufacturer. That only adds to the cachet of this 1953 Mercury Monterey. The fact that its maker is no more only adds more to the car’s value, as does its Flathead V8, auto gearbox and mere 1,700 miles. A discerning collector will have no hesitation in snapping up this car, while a budding collector should seriously consider acquiring it sans delay.
