MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this seldomseen 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixwindow Limousine. This limo was lovingly cared for by an elderly gentleman who had declining health. He loved showing this limo at car shows for over a decade. We purchased the car from his estate. Even more ostentatious and exuberant than its standard coupe, convertible and sedan counterparts, the 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixwindow Limousine was the pinnacle of Head Stylist Harley Earls styling manifesto. With its nearly 150inchlong wheelbase, Earl had that much more canvas to use. Made in GMs Detroit, Michigan factory on (date), this limousine is one of 710 manufactured in 1959. Finished in Ebony Black, (code 10), this cars paint and trim are in overall satisfactory condition. There are blemishes in the fender trim, blemishes on the left and right side of the body and under the full black vinyl roof. The glass panels and the vehicles lights are also in overall decent order, however one of the drivers side bulletshaped tail lamps is broken and passenger side exterior spotlight is inoperable. Overall, the limos bodywork is in decent shape, including the bumpers, which are in overall satisfactory shape. The car can be impressive as is, but could use a paint job to bring it back to its original grandeur. This long car rolls on whitewall tires with full wheel covers. The tires and wheel covers are in adequate condition, however the tires are older and should be replaced before a long journey. Under the hood is a 390 CID V8 engine with a fourbarrel carburetor, backed by a Hydramatic fourspeed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features included airconditioning, power steering, power brakes and power windows, including power vent windows. Inside, the aftermarket light gray broadcloth and dark gray nylon Bedford cord seats, with their folddown center armrests are in overall satisfactory condition, with some evidence of buttons gone wild in front. The contrasting black carpet and complementing gray headliner are in similar shape. The twospoke gray steering wheel looks good, while the instrument panel and inner door panels are in decent order. Theres a Motorola CB unit on the transmission tunnel in front while in back a pair of telephones ride the tunnel. There are also a pair of foldaway jump seats in the rear. Rounding out the interior is a factory AM radio. No single automotive design better characterizes the industrys late 1950s flamboyance than the 1959Cadillac, which incorporated totally new styling. Large tailfin, twin bullet taillamps, new jewellike grille patterns and matching decklid beauty panels personified these cars. The longwheelbase Series 75 technically became theSeries 6700, in keeping with Cadillacs new series scheme, but in practice was still referred to as the Series 75.Production models again were a ninepassenger sedan and Imperiallimousine with auxiliary jump seats. Fleetwoodlettering appeared on the rear deck lid trim strip.Single side trim moldings extended from the front wheel housing to the rear of the car.Standard equipment included power brakes; power steering; Hydramatic automatic transmission; dual backup lamps; windshield washers and twospeed wipers; wheel discs; dual outside rearview mirror; vanity mirror; oil filter and power vent windows.Power steering and shock absorbers were improved this year.
