Thank you for your consideration in viewing this beautiful 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood.

This car is a reminder of a more special time in the US auto industry. The Cadillac was one of the Quintessential cars of it's day. It was owned by everyone from politicians to movie stars. To the American public Cadillac remained a symbol of prestige, success, luxury, and good taste.

As you will see from the pictures, the car shows extremely well, but by no means is this a 100 point car. I acquired the car in 2006 from my neighbor who had himself owned the car since 1991, in which he purchased the car from Reno, NV. Since my ownership I had all the chrome replated. I also purchased 5 new triple plate chrome sombrero wheel covers and center medallions. The car has the correct Firestone Bias ply 700-15 and correct wide whites. This is an all matching numbers car.

Under the hood you will find an exceptionally clean 346 Flathead offers 150 hp. The car always starts right up and runs strong with no smoking issues. The same engine that Cadillac believed in so much that it had a 12 year run from 1936-1948. In addition, Cadillac helped in the war effort by supplying our military with this same engine in the M5 Stuart and the Sherman tank. I ran this car through this 4th of July parade and it ran perfect without any overheating issues in 90 degree temperature. I also just recently took the car on a 300 mile round trip and it ran flawlessly. Odometer shows 108,353.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition other than a slight faded spot in the upper drivers seat. The head liner was replaced by the prior owner with the correct material. The oriental di-noc wood is amazing. This Fleetwood has beautiful body lines and chrome appointments that the standard 4-door series 62 did not offer. From the fold down rear foot rest, extended rear seating quarters, chrome garnishes around inner windows, and outside the five upper quarter rear luvers. All glass is in great condition with no separation, discoloration, or cracks.

There are just a few scratches in the paint that I did not touch up. Trunk has some freckling in paint. There is also a chip in front head light ring, roof has 1 in. slight dent, (barely noticeable), top of steering wheel and brake handle has some cracking (also barely noticeable), radio only works sometimes, blinkers do not work, clock does not work, speed odometer is inaccurate by 10 mph, wipers do not work, all other gauges work fine, spot lights work, heater works, horn works, and interior light works. The under carriage is very clean and shows no rust (with the exception of the bottom of the spare tire wheel well).

Last year I had front and back brakes completely redone including brake lines, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. 2010 the carburetor, fuel pump, generator, starter, water pump were all rebuilt (even though some of those did not need to be rebuilt). Recently, front end had work done as well. Door seal plates are in excellent condition. Trunk material has all been redone. This car is an increasingly rare sight, so don't miss this opportunity to own this work of art.

I am a private owner that is starting to thin down my collection and feel that I have described this car as honestly and accurately as possible. I will be happy to give you a full walk around the car and give you a more detailed description and/or answer any questions you may have. Will provide additional pictures if requested. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction's close. The winning bidder is required to contact Seller within 24 hours after the close of the auction to finalize the details of the transaction.

I also reserve the right to end the auction at any time. This vehicle is sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for pick up and/or all shipping fees. Please come and see the car for yourself or send your inspector. Bid with confidence. Feel free to call me with any questions or concerns. 707-704-8223 Mike

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Crowd lifts Cadillac to free pedestrian after two vehicles barrel toward him

Wed, May 17 2017

An elderly Missourian is lucky to be alive today after a car that had pinned him to the ground was lifted off him by witnesses. According to WDAF, Orlando Gentry and Troy Robertson were working at a Kansas City, Mo., clothing store when a stolen minivan careened through a red light at 35th and Prospect and was immediately T-boned by a woman driving a gold Cadillac. The impact drove both vehicles up onto the sidewalk at the corner, side by side, directly at pedestrian Carlos Green. "We was out here with our kids, and we was at work, and the next thing we heard was a boom!" Gentry told WDAF. "Man, those cars came out of nowhere, and Carlos was just helpless," Robertson said. Gentry tried to escape but was caught between the vehicles and pinned beneath the Caddy. Then a light pole punctuated the crash by falling on top of the Caddy - and almost on top of Carlos Green. "Yeah, he tried to jump out of the way, but he just got pinned underneath the Cadillac. He definitely hurt his right leg. When I saw all that, I screamed, 'Somebody help me help get this car off Carlos,'" Robertson said. He, Gentry and passersby lifted the heavy Caddy off Green so he could crawl free. Thankfully, Green wasn't seriously injured. He was discharged from an area hospital bruised, with one leg in a cast, but ultimately healthy. The woman driving the Cadillac was unhurt, but the two men driving the minivan ran off during the confusion. Kansas City police are looking for the escaped car thieves. This is the second time in as many weeks that people banded together to lift a car off someone. On May 9 in Philadelphia, a group of good Samaritans lifted an SUV off a little girl who had been run down and pinned beneath an SUV tire. Related Video:
