NEW ARRIVAL! FMC is proud to offer our second big BIG Caddy. This is an absolutely beautiful and very rare factory Series 75 Fleetwood Sedan which was the ultimate in luxury in 1954. Only 889 were produced. These cars were bought by the extremely wealthy who prefer to be driven rather than driving themselves. While a Cadillac Coupe DeVille or Series 62 cost $3800 & $4200, this Cadillac Series 75 topped out at over $6000. Cadillac produced nearly 100,000 cars in '54 yet only 889 or less than 1% of them were Fleetwood Series 75 Sedans like this one. Who knows how many of that number remain today. It is important to note that these cars were NOT made as Limousines or for Limousine companies who stretched and customized them. The Series 75 Sedan was made by Cadillacs Fleetwood division exclusively as passenger cars for those who could afford them. The extra long 150" wheelbase is a full 20" longer than the standard Cadillac. Styling was new with a lower sleeker body, new inverted grille, gull-wing bumpers and the famous Dagmar bumper guards (artillery shells) This car is presented beautifully in its factory black. Chrome and trim shine beautifully. The interior appears to be 100% original and in incredible condition. Features include power windows, power steering, power door locks, front & rear air conditioning, automatic window washers, dual outside mirrors and 5 wire wheels includes the spare, on 3" white wall tires. The photos show many air conditioning and heating vents throughout the cabin on the ceiling and on the floor. The car has every factory option that a top-of-the-line Cadillac Fleetwood would have in 1954. The interior is original and looks like new in gray Mohair, just as it was in '54. The rear compartment has 2 factory original jump seats as well as the usual full rear seats that are also original. The rear compartment has its original leg rests, center arm rest and a clock. All gauges are sharp and work perfectly. The engine was a step up from previous years adding hydraulic lifters, 230hp, 70 more horsepower than previous years, and a 12-volt electrical system which was needed to power the Series 75. There is nothing you will have to do to this car. No tinkering, no paint or body work, not even small repair work on a power window motor. Nothing but go for a ride, long or short, and pull into your local car show in ANYWHERE town. When you do, my only advise would be to take two spots.. Youll need it! This car would benefit from a detailing of the engine bay and undercarriage which we will do before the sale.
