Estate Fresh Survivor That Was Owned Since 1977!


Only 55,000  Actual Miles

Documented Service History For Many Many Years



An Unrestored and Original Time Capsule!!

Recently Serviced and Inspected


Rare Opportunity............................LOW RESERVE





Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly one of the nicest 1962 Cadillac Fleetwoods Available anywhere! This is an unrestored, estate fresh example that has lived in the sunny state of Florida it's entire life! We were very lucky to be able to acquire it from the estate of the long time collector owners family! We have extensive documentation indicating long term ownership dating back to the late seventies, along with many many years of service history!! Truly a cherished and babied member of the family!! Cadillac lovers everywhere get weak in the knees when one like this becomes available.

Our 1962 Fleetwood is as special as you will ever find!! This is an 85% original paint car that has NEVER been restored!! It is exactly as it left the factory in 1962!! When we acquired it a few months back there were several small dings and dents on the right front fender and door, along with the hood. Probably storage damage, as it was confined to those three areas. These three panels have been expertly repaired and refinished. Then the entire car received a good buffing and polishing...That's all!!! What you will see in the many photos below is the result. This is one Gorgeous Caddy!!! It is as original as they come, with the paint meter telling us that we were the first ones to "Break" the paint! Yes, it is thin in some spots from the many years of polishing and waxing, but is just Beautiful!!! There is some light pitting on some of the chrome, mainly the door handles, and some of the window trim, but hardly noticeable, and is certainly expected on a 52 year old original car!.

Inside is Maroon Cloth and is also totally original with some very light fading here and there. Also, the wood on the doors is slightly delaminating, and could use refinishing. Everything is working correctly, including Ice Cold Air Conditioning. It has a six way power seat, Autronic Eye, AND a power operated trunk release and pull down. All 8 power windows work with ease. As usual, the front and rear vents need a "push". The power antenna goes up and down, and the tube type AM signal seeking radio still sounds fantastic!!

Mechanically. Our Fleetwood runs and drives like a Dream! It floats down the road on that special Cadillac cloud that we all know and love, with no unpleasantries noted. I have posted a photo below of the last service invoice dated January 2009, and about 1000 miles ago. It includes belts and hoses, and a major tune up, along with an almost complete Air Conditioning overhaul.

This could be a once in a lifetime find!!!!! Certainly qualifies with ease for AACA HPOF!! If you have been looking for that special Cadillac, t
ake a look at the 75 photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Fleetwood Sedan.....



By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.

Many Thanks for Your Interest!
Good Luck with Your Bidding!!


Our Burgundy Fleetwood was purchased new on Sept. 12, 1962 at Daytona Motor Co.









Note the Corrosion free rear view mirror, and gorgeous stainless trim...A true Testament to Fair weather exposure Only!







The attention to detail back then was amazing!





The Original Burgundy Paint Just Glistens in the sun. Pretty much the same way it did 52 years ago!! A few minor nicks, dings, and scratches from normal usage, but certainly nothing to deter from the Beauty and Originality of This Beautiful Fleetwood!!


Note the absence of rust.....No winters in Florida!








Nice and Straight.....Bright and Shiny!!!



You can tell by the condition of the Original paint that this Beauty was Always Garaged and Pampered!!





There is some VERY light pitting on the  center section of rear bumper.







I would guess that this was a 1 person vehicle. The condition of the interior, especially the lack of wear would be a good indication! My guess is that no one ever sat here!!


.


None of the typical bumper end "Rot"!








I believe that this was one of the most Luxurious Cadillacs ever built. Everywhere you look there is a special attention to detail and craftsmanship!!


Note the reflection!!











Just like it was back in 1962


You can tell it's a Fleetwood!


















WOW.......Just Magnificent!

No rust or rot here either!










 


 


 











The wood has a bit of delaminating on the top of all 4 doors.





EIGHT power windows!






The sumptous  interior is in fantastic condition and is certainly commensurate with the low mileage and excellent care our Gorgeous Caddy has seen throughout its 52 year life. It is totally original with no dying or repairs done anywhere. 












 

Zero door jamb rust or scale......Fair weather and Garaged!









Truly a Pampered and Pedigreed Fleetwood....Just like it looks in the factory showroom brochure(photo below)!!




















True Luxury.......Cadillac.......Standard of the World!!
























 





No cracks in the padded dash. Note the Autronic Eye!














 

































Under the hood is basically original. The engine has had some minor touch up during routine servicing, as noted in the repair records!








The Air Cleaner housing has been powder coated in Satin Black. The decal is on order.



Note recent belts and hoses.







Original owners books









Shop manual included!


The original sales brochure showing our Fleetwood!!!!





We found a Pittsburgh Auto Show newspaper advertisement from 1961. We thought that you might enjoy it with the car!!

GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
