The most
It's easy to see why American cars from this era are called 'land yachts'. At five and a half metres in length, this Cadi is one hell of a big building! While its size may prompt nautical comparisons, its look is pure space. America was obsessed with all things space travel at the time, and it really shows when you look at these cars.
This 1962 Cadillac Sedan de Ville looks remarkably original and is in beautiful condition for its age. With only two registered owners and a MOT valid until June 2028, this is a tempting opportunity if you have a garage big enough to store it.
We are told that the Cadillac has been meticulously maintained, with recent work including new tyres, a water pump, and a full engine overhaul. Its impressive originality and remarkable state of preservation make it a worthy addition to any classic car collection.
Seller's comment:
"I purchased this fifth generation six-seat Cadillac without the upright. The DeVille Sedan, of which 26,415 were produced between 1961 and 1964, caught my eye when I saw the movie Green Book. And the colour is simply magnificent in the sun. It's an eye-catcher every time you drive it."
