Description from the seller

GENERAL:
An imposing and exclusive American flagship limousine, the brand’s jewel of the golden era of the U.S. motor industry: a 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine (Series 75) with approximately 53,000 kilometers. This specimen stands out for its nationally sourced provenance of great historical interest and excellent conservation. It was debuted directly in the capital of Spain and had a prestigious initial destination, as it was originally purchased by the emblematic Wellington Hotel in Madrid to provide transport and transfer services to major celebrities, artists, and international leaders of the era. Maintaining its original Madrid provincial license plate adds immeasurable authenticity for collectors of vehicles with a high-standing institutional and corporate past.

As a historical and technical datum of great relevance for enthusiasts of the brand, 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 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 bodywork of this monumental vehicle is in very good overall condition, proudly displaying its more-than-six-meter 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 liters) V8 engine delivering 375 HP, paired with a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This colossal 7.7-liter engine, which on its debut crowned itself the world’s largest production block for passenger cars, stands out for its immense 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 powerful ride characteristic of Cadillac’s large blocks.

INTERIOR:
The interior cabin remains very sound, clean, and completely original. It presents the classic chauffeur configuration with the highest-quality finishes and an extremely comfortable space. In the rear area it features the iconic fold-out jump seats, allowing up to nine passengers in total to be accommodated.

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

PICK-UP:
The vehicle is ready to be inspected and collected in Olot, in the province of Girona, Catalonia (Spain). It is possible to arrange assistance for national or international transport on a closed platform if the buyer requires, with shipping costs borne by the latter.

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

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. 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. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. 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. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
