1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60S Black with Aqua interior

Up for auction is my very fine 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty-Special. Car just came out of 6 months of climate-controlled storage and is ready for another summer of cruising. Car was special-ordered new with the previous year Eldorado dual-carburetor 365 engine. Cadillac offered such an arrangement back in the 50's for customers that wanted something unique. I'll tell you what I know about the car here. but believe an interested buyer would do well to come see the car for themselves. It is currently in Burt Michigan near Saginaw.

Older restoration on a 100% rust-free car. Lacquer

paint has some minor crazing in places. but in my opinion is too good to

repaint. Show chrome is in excellent condition.

Runs and drives beautifully. 5 brand-new American

Classic radial tires. plus the original spare bias tire with rim in the

trunk.

Known issues:

Minor leak of power steering pump that developed over

the winter in storage. I'm guessing this will correct itself once I start

driving the car more. as has been the case with other vintage Cadillacs

that I've owned.

Chip in the windshield which I try to show in the

photos. It's on the passenger side. Not enough to replace the original

windshield in my opinion.

Original air ride system is completely intact for

'show'. but the shocks have been replaced with standards. Air pump does

work as does the level control which I show in the pictures.

Interior and trunk is original. looking a bit tired.

but not all bad. Minor wrinkles in the dash pad. a minor tear in the

original headliner. Seats and door trims should respond to a good

detailing. carpet should likely be replaced (faded).

Minor electrical issues that we've not looked into

yet. Horns are in place. but don't work. Power vent windows work when

they want to. Power seat works. but not 100% and should be looked into. I

suspect that one of the cables is slightly stripped. Heater core has been

by-passed for reasons unknown. but is in place. Clock. Wonderbar radio.

antenna and all 4 power windows work fine. Autronic eye headlamp dimmer

works. but will get to flickering the headlights. which was common. Not

sure if there is a correctable setting for this. Wipers are currently

inoperable and it appears the only component missing is one of the air

hoses at the wiper transmission.

Door weather-stripping is original and should be

replaced. Kits are available online with the correct molded pieces.

Car has lots of undercoating.

but is not hiding anything. No sheet metal welds. My mechanic believes the

undercoating to be factory original. but that is debatable. Car is as

clean underneath as up top. no disappointments.

No air conditioning.

I'm an un-motivated seller and

prepared to keep the car and look into some of the minor issues listed

above. The car turns heads where ever I take it and I'll miss it if it goes. just

thinning out the collection and seeing who is out there. hard to find

another 1958 Fleetwood in this condition so contact me to come see

it. you won't be disappointed. The following picture link features more

than 200 pictures. strangely organized. but should give an interested

buyer a lot to look at. Contact me if I missed something.
