Number 11 of 12 made in 1976 by Traditional Coach Works of Los Angeles California.  43k original miles and always garaged. no cracks on original dash. steering wheel (nor wood insert) . seats. etc.  Paper work history shows it to always be a dry state car so rust is a not an issue. They were converted Fleetwoods from brand spanking new.  The cost was $30. 00 in 1976!  Supposedly Kuwait oil money wanted them and set up a shop in Los Angeles (Trad. Coach Works) for the purpose of export.  Some were sold to Sammy Davis Jr. . Evel Knieval. and this one possibly to Bill Harrah.  The estate I purchased the car from lost the paper work but remembered the name not knowing who he was (I thought that funny).  That is all I have other than some papers from Reno. San Diego. and Palm Beach. I almost all chrome off repainted the car when I got it (in the original color of course). Amberlite is the rare Cadillac color I beleive.  It didn't need repaint due to sun damage (for instance the vinyl top is original). it needed repaint due to a key job on the passenger side and door dings on the driver's side.  Since I was repainting nearly all of it I went whole hog. Much of the chrome and stainless was cleaned. polished. or replated.  I am not one for tolerating patina. so if you want to be lied to you can find tons of sellers doing their best to claim original paint et al so you will tolerate imperfections.  The hubcaps were painted to match the car by Traditional Coach and not myself. Significant chrome plating inside and out also sets this Cadillac apart from the factory standards.  The trim around the inside of the windshield. doors. and much under the hood as been beautifully plated (also the Fleetwood emblems on the front fenders).  The slight patina under the hood suggests this was done when converted new so I left it alone.  It also looks far better than the factory.  This Castilan also has headers that look period as well.  We all know how emaciated the '76 501 cubic inch V8 was. and this does help the car.  I have owned several 1976 Fleetwoods for comparison. I have been on E Bay for over one decade and have 100% positive feedback.  I encourage an inspection. visual. and drive of this rare Cadillac.  I have other pictures at my website at http://jimhaileyclassiccars. com/ if you care to view.  You may call me at 214 415 7373 if you prefer.  This Castilan can be seen in Santa Fe New Mexico with an appointment.  Thanks!     1975 Brochure pictures of Cadillac's offered by Traditional Coach Works.  To the best of my knowledge they were only produced in 1975 and 1976.  12 were made in 1976 and I believe 15 or so were made in 1975.  If anyone has more information please let me know.
