Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Perfect car to stand out during special events
  • Full respray 15 years ago – still presents beautifully
  • Very spacious interior – seats up to eight

The Appeal

Cruising in comfort with a burbling motor is something the American car industry has always done well. The likes of Chevrolet, Dodge and Cadillac are seemingly all about creating living rooms on wheels.
Well, this 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine takes that an extra step further with its long wheelbase, plush seats and smooth riding engine. Indeed, it will sit eight in total thanks to the folding seats and transport all in comfort with a smooth V8 engine and automatic gearbox. 
Presenting wonderfully thanks to a respray no more than 15 years ago and living most of its recent life in a secure garage, this is a car that will stand out on any road. But especially in Europe where automotive proportions are far less extravagant, it is sure to attract plenty of attention.
