While modern consumer trends dictate that manufacturers offer hundreds of SUV options to their customers, many enthusiasts long for the precursor to practical motoring — the humble station wagon. The wagon body shape is one that has been quietly phased out from modern-day showroom lineups. But, with wagons becoming a rarer sight on U.S. roads, the body shape is becoming more desirable to collectors and connoisseurs alike. Listed here is the ultimate in old-school Americana: a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Station Wagon. With just 83,000 miles on the clock and some stunning features for a car from the ’70s, this station wagon is arguably just as desirable, if not more so, than its sedan counterpart.
Being a full-size luxury car, the Cadillac Fleetwood’s styling makes no apologies for its size, with slab-sided styling juxtaposed by the elegant tailfins. With a large grille up front flanked by a six-light array and with the Cadillac badge atop, there’s no mistaking it for anything else. Finished in grey, the owner reports that the paint job is new, while all exterior brightwork appears to be in excellent condition. Inside the Cadillac Fleetwood, you find a large tri-spoke wheel rim, with a column-mounted shifter allowing for extra-width individual seats up front. The interior is upholstered in red and brown, matching the rest of the cabin surfaces. The dashboard features controls for climate control, cruise control, and auto-dimming lights. Electric controls also exist for the front seats and all four windows.
Under the hood of this Cadillac Fleetwood Station Wagon is a 472 cu in (7.7-liter) overhead- cam V8, which the owner reports has had a recent oil change. While the power output of roughly 205 hp may be considered small for an engine of such size by today’s standards, the 365 lb-ft of torque more than makes up for it. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three- speed automatic gearbox. The owner reports a host of recent maintenance, including a new exhaust system, tires, brakes, coil springs, and shock absorbers.

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.
With a name like Fleetwood, you’d think that the vehicle in question was large, luxurious and basically a land yacht. That’s precisely what the Cadillac Fleetwood was, and it has been a stand-alone nameplate, as well as a trim line. Today, we’ve got a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham from Whitehouse, Tennessee up for sale, with pre-delivery inspection, owner’s manual, warranty information and maintenance schedules included. This massive land yacht with its hulking 500ci V8 has done only 51,000 miles, and is a great classic car to own and drive.
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.
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.

In the late Sixties, Mercedes-Benz knew that it was time to replace their iconic W114 line-up of grand touring coupes. Development started on a successor, and by 1971, the R107 and C107 generation was released. It bore the name SL, and in the case of the R107, came with a removable hardtop plus a soft top. Meanwhile, the C107 was a fixed-head coupe. The R107 in particular would prove to be a massive success. In total, over 237,000 R107 variants were made between 1971 and 1989. Today, an R107 represents a sound and safe way to get into classic cars, as it’s built tough and can keep going on and on when properly maintained. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 184,122-mile 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL from Sandy, Utah for sale today. Its mileage is proof that not only is this a car that can eat up long distances, but it’s also one that encourages you to drive it more and more.
The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette sports car and grand tourer was revealed to the public in 1953. Called the C1, it ran until 1962, and sold just over 69,000 units. Today, finding a C1 is a little tough, but not impossible. You’ll find pristinely-kept, bone-stock examples, fixer-uppers, daily runners and restomods, like this Texas-based 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod. This car packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated LT1 from a later Corvette, as well as aftermarket Z06-style wheels and a 4L60E 4-speed autobox. These, plus many other refinements make this a classic Corvette that you can daily drive with comfort and confidence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
