Description from the seller

GENERAL:
An imposing and exclusive American flagship limousine is offered, the brand’s crown jewel from the golden era of the American motor industry: a 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine (Series 75) with approximately 53,000 kilometers. This specimen stands out for its national provenance of great historical interest and excellent preservation. It was premiered directly in the capital of Spain and had a high-prestige initial destination, as it was originally acquired by the emblematic Wellington Hotel in Madrid to provide transportation and transfers for major celebrities, artists, and international leaders of the time. Retaining its original Madrid provincial license plate adds immeasurable authenticity value for collectors of vehicles with a high-end institutional and corporate past.

As a historical and technical point of great relevance for marque enthusiasts, the Fleetwood Series 75 was the only factory-built limousine officially produced by Cadillac at that time, making it the absolute pinnacle of American sophistication. The production year of 1969 was key, as Cadillac introduced a major exterior redesign inspired by the Eldorado, abandoning for the first time the vertically stacked double headlights in favor of a much more modern, elegant, and regal horizontal arrangement.

BODYWORK AND PAINT:
The body of this monumental vehicle is in very good overall condition, proudly displaying its over six meters in length. It features a deep black paint that highlights its classic lines, while the chrome elements, iconic bumpers, and the front grille are very well preserved and with an excellent shine.

MECHANICS:
Technically, this limousine is equipped with its original 472 cubic inch (7.7 liter) V8 engine delivering 375 hp, paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This colossal 7.7-liter engine, which at its debut stood as the world’s production-block with the largest displacement for passenger cars, stands out for its enormous torque and durability. The vehicle is currently in running order and in fully functional condition, having been recently serviced to offer the classic smooth, quiet, and potent ride characteristic of Cadillac’s big blocks.

INTERIOR:
The interior cabin remains very healthy, clean, and completely original. It features the classic driver’s setup with the highest quality finishes and a highly comfortable space. In the rear area it incorporates the iconic fold-out jump seats, allowing up to nine passengers to be accommodated.

DOCUMENTATION:
The car has its papers in order, the ITV (vehicle inspection) valid, and fully ready for transfer. It retains its original Madrid province plate from the era, which certifies its Spanish historical provenance since its first day on the road.

COLLECTION:
The vehicle is ready to be inspected and picked up in Olot, in the province of Girona, Catalonia (Spain). Assistance can be arranged for transport within Spain or internationally on a closed platform if the buyer requires, with shipping costs borne by the buyer.

OTHER INFORMATION:
It is strongly recommended to view the vehicle in person before bidding to avoid any later disappointment. To arrange a viewing appointment or to request more detailed photographic material, please contact via the platform.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
