The Cadillac has long stood as a beacon of luxury and sophistication in the American automotive landscape, a tradition that persists to this day. During the 1970s, amidst the fuel crisis, the luxury car market began to evolve, shifting towards vehicles that prioritized fuel efficiency. However, Cadillac remained true to its roots, continuing to produce vehicles that epitomized luxury, despite the growing prevalence of smaller, more fuel-efficient cars from Japanese manufacturers. A prime example of Cadillac's dedication to luxury during this era is the 1972 Cadillac Eldorado. This particular Eldorado is not just any classic Cadillac; it is reputed to have been owned by the legendary wrestler and actor Count Billy Varga and boasts a well-documented history with 32,000 miles on the odometer.
Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the world's oldest and most respected automobile manufacturers. The Cadillac Eldorado, known for its long, smooth cruising capabilities and colossal Detroit iron, stood out as a trendsetter in the luxury automotive landscape. This 1977 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, with only 34,000 miles on the odometer, represents a classic example in exceptional condition.
The Cadillac Eldorado, a nameplate that graced the automotive landscape from 1952 to 2002 across twelve generations, held a special place as Cadillac's premier personal luxury car. In 1973, the ninth-generation Eldorado was chosen to lead the prestigious Indianapolis 500, a momentous honor. To commemorate this achievement, a mere 556 units were produced, and we are delighted to offer one for sale: the 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Indianapolis Pace Car, boasting a mere 9,500 miles on its illustrious journey. Impressively, this vehicle is an all-original specimen, having been in the possession of just two discerning owners.
The term "cruising" is enjoyed and experienced in multiple ways; one could take a fast car and cruise into the weekend on twisty roads, you could also have a luxury motor that's built for purpose, but for those who know would always say cruising is done best behind the wheel of a old American land yacht. Present today is this 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham – perhaps the ultimate cruiser and has a reported 63,000 original miles on the clock. What's better? The current owner reports the car's owner's manual and a car cover is included in the sale.
The inherent dignity, grace and beauty that became a hallmark of Cadillac styling in the past took a giant leap forward for 1959. There is, for example, all of the impressive stature, which only a motor car of adequate length and wheelbase can offer. There's the appearance of solid enduring beauty from every angle and an unmistakable mantle of quality which marked Cadillac at the time as the standard of the world. There were 13 models offered by Cadillac in ‘59 including a variety of sedans and coupes a couple of convertibles and even a limousine. These models, including the Series 62 are remembered for their iconic huge tailfins with dual bullet taillights. Up for sale here is a staggering example of a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe showing 47,500 original miles on its clock.
The 1959 Cadillac is a defining icon of its era, renowned for its massive shark-like tailfins—the largest vertical tailfins ever on a production car. The space-race-fever-driven styling of the late 50s, inspired by designers like Chrysler’s Virgil Exner and GM’s Harley Earl, peaked in 1958-1960, with the 1959 Cadillacs standing out as the most iconic. Offered in 12 different trim levels and body styles, from the Sixty-Two series to the Fleetwoods and the Eldorados, the De Villes represented the mid-range trim, available as a coupe, a six-window sedan, and this four-window sedan. This particular Cadillac, known as the “flat top” due to its roof overhang and four electric side windows, weighs 5000 lbs (2.3 tons), measures 225 inches in length with a 130-inch wheelbase, and is 80.2 inches wide. With just over 78,000 original miles, it is completely original and in very good shape, having been lovingly maintained by its third owner for over 35 years. The car was driven directly from Detroit to California upon purchase and has always been garaged. It exemplifies the 1950s extravagance with better options and features than the Sixty-Twos, without the massive price tag of the Fleetwoods.
