1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Phaeton Convertible Limousine on 2040-cars

Up for Auction is a custom built 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Phaeton CONVERTIBLE LIMOUSINE built by Parade Coachbuilders in Florida. www.paradelimos.com.   This vehicle started its lie as a rear wheel drive Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan then it was stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the drivers door.   A middle seat was added and two doors were added with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles.   So middle exterior looks like s standard limousine with no door handles, hidden openers are in the front driver nad passenger door frame The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding.   This vehicle is called the Pheaton model.

The Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top.  In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed.  The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat has been added on the rear deck.   In case it rains there is a snap on manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun.

This vehicle is custom built and one of a kind with many one of a kind features including; front fender flag stands, front fender flag up lights, flashing lights on the front bumper.   Custom rear fender Cadillac marker lights, Fleetwood Phaeton badging, chrome roof grab handle (in case you want to stand up), rear parade deck chrome surround rails and much more.

This is an awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect vehicle for promoting a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment comfortably. 

 THIS IS A HEAD TURNER. You will NEVER see another one pull up next to you and this one is in mint condition.

THIS VEHICLE HAS just 47K miles on it!!!! THAT IS RIGHT JUST 47 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES. Mechanically for the gear heads, this Cadillac came from the factory with the formidable LT-1 Engine and matched automatic transmission which Cadillac borrowed from Chevrolet to give unbelievable power to this rear wheel drive car. This model is the last rear wheel drive model Cadillac built. The engine is the same engine as the Corvette of this year. Power is unreal for a large heavy car.

Exterior is finished in Cadillac Cotillion White paint and the paint is flawless and brand new. The vehicle has no dents or dings or scratches. The chrome trim and bumpers are also in excellent condition.

All the chrome on the vehicle is showroom new. The exterior features lighted flag stands on the front fenders. All badging is brand new chrome and it is fitted with "FLEETWOOD PHAETON" emblems on the rear doors.  There are a total of six doors that open but the middle doors have no door handles for a clean and finished limousine look.

The front driver’s compartment is finished in original medium blue leather and it is in very good shape with no rips or tears.

The rear salon is brand new in all aspects. The middle seat faces the rear. On each side of the middle seat are two cup holders and champagne buckets built in to the door panels. The rear seat is raised ten inches and has air conditioning vents under it that blows ice cold. The rear salon is fitted with medium blue vinyl which is brand new on the parade seat.

The limousine is in mint condition with 47K miles on it. Reserve is low considering the original purchase and build cost of this vehicle.

We have used this car in parades all over Florida and have new buses coming in so one of these must go.

This vehicle is open in the rear 1/3 with a snap on roof that stores on the back deck or in the trunk.

 The manual top is vinyl just like the roof and clear plastic back window to cover the back totally if it gets caught in the rain. It stores either on the back parade deck or in the trunk and I would compare it to a boat bimini that takes 3 minutes to snap on.   That alone costs $1550.00 and it is yours with the car.

We never needed it and never take it out on cloudy days
