This classic Cadillac was for somebody who could not only afford Cadillac, but could spring for the best! This Big, long, low, sixty special is as good as it gets! Extra rear leg room and power vents and windows. Only those with a driver and limo had it better. This ride comes with original owner information books along with Protect-O-Plate.

Paint 

• Car was painted some years ago. We do not have the year or information on the paint, but it does match all the way around.

• Car has not been highly polished, so there is a small amount of orange peel in the paint. Over all it looks pretty presentable for a driver quality car.

• Paint has a few pin head size nicks on the front, and some areas chipping around the windshield, and below the rear window.

• If you look closely car has imperfections in the paint. Repaint appears more of an amateur look.

• If you look closely at the pictures you will see a few chips on the edge of the doors that have been touched up.

• The red metal flake color, with the blue pin strips, was added not to long ago. That work is very shiny, and free of flaws.

 Body

• The top surfaces of the hood, roof, and deck lid are all very straight and correct. There is a light dimple that is hardly noticeable on the trunk lid.

• Sides of the car have had repair work at some time, and it is certainly less then perfectly straight. It seems only on close inspection is it most noticeable.

• If you look up close at an angle,(see pictures) you will be able to detect less than perfectly straight areas on the side of the car.

• Left side has three to four small dimples, just above the back of the fender skirt, as well as one little dimple on the skirt itself. The right top side of the fender has a light dimple.

• Some light dimples on the drivers door, that can only be seen at an angle and some light nicks along the bottom of the doors.

• There is some light surface rust on the inside edges of the trunk and hood.

Magnets

• Upon making random readings on different parts of the panels, we did not find any areas where there is clearly an absence of steel or metal.

• Upon inspection I found there was a possible light impact on the right rear corner, and a little more filler is evident that can not be picked up on photos.

Bright work

• The stainless and chrome surrounding the window areas all appears to be fastened well, and very nice and straight. Without noticeable dents or damage.

• The stainless shines beautifully. The only noticeable wear would be the finish edge around the rear vent windows, and the pieces just below them have some light pitting in the chrome.

• The door handles show very little wear, with just a slight amount of pitting on all four of them. (see pictures)

• The rear bumper has no apparent damage, but some light pitting. Mostly on the two end pieces, and the insert on either side of the license plate.

• The front bumper has very similar wear as the rear, even thought they are very shiny. Front bumper does have dents on the bottom of the right, and left side of the end pieces.

Glass

• All of the glass, with the exception of the windshield, is marked “soft ray safely plate” with the LOF emblem on them.

• All of the glass is nice and clear with no delamination, cracks, or bulls eyes.

• Windshield shows very little wear, and no windshield wiper abrasion.

Interior

• Interior looks as thought most everything is, or could be original. (With the exception of the floor mats and the stereo that was installed below the ashtray,) (Glove box was removed).

• Interior has survived very well over the years. The carpet has some wear, but has held up well. (can be inspected in the pictures)

• Chrome and finish on the dash has held up extremely well, and shows very little wear. The only exception is that above the radio there is a small cracked section.

• Visors are solid, and the inside backing in not broken down.

• Headliner is all intact, and we do not see any seams or areas where it is coming lose.

• Door panels appear to be as they where constructed, and there is a little fading on the carpet (lower sections).

• Interior looks as thought it is much the way they where originally built.

• Notice in the back seat (by the bottoms on the right rear) a spot has been pulled apart and repaired.

• On the front seat you see more wear and fading. Drivers side has some wear

and fading mostly the lower section. There is also a scuff, and a worn area on the passengers side edge.(where you enter and exit car)

• Driver side you will also see a spot with some repair, up by the corner, as well as some wear on the beading. Rings need to be pulled to bring material around the edge. (simple repair but needs to be completed)

• Steering wheel does have some cracking at the three contact points. (fairly minor with small cracks)

Trunk

• Trunk has spare tire with a circular disc cover, as they typically had.

• Car has jack and lug wrench.

• Matting is glued down, however you can see from the bottom side of the car how dry, original, and rust free the car is.

• Notice on the bottom side of the deck trunk lid, some of the original information is still there\\
  

Tire and Wheels

• Tires look fairly recent with out noticeable cracking. All four hubcaps are in remarkable shape with minimum wear
  

Kumbo Solus KR21

Left front- 235-75-15              Right front- 235-75-15

Left rear- 235-75-15                Right rear- 235-75-15

All four tires have 9-10/32 tread remaining.

Engine and Transmission

• Under the hood looks much as it was designed, and built without any major modification (With the exception of a replacement battery).

• Air conditioning system has been converted over to new style refrigerant.

• Upon driving, the car runs very nice and smooth, it accelerates and decelerates properly.

• Transmission seems to be shifting correctly up and down.

• Engine over all seems to preform well.

• There is a little bit of an exhaust leak you can hear, but after the car warms up it is hardly noticeable.

• When you turn your automatic dimers off, your manual high and low beam does work.

• As in most of these cars it is very common for the automatic level control to be unhooked, and replaced with regular air shocks. They typically stop working fairly early in the cars life, and are not that reliable
  
  

Chassis

• Upon putting the car on a rack, the frame, and floor pan look to have no rust perforation. (see photos)

• Over all the car chassis looks like it is left as it was designed and built

• Fairly new brake lines running across the rear axle, and front brake hoses are fairly new as well

• The exhaust looks solid with the exception that the muffler has been scrapped, and there is a small hole in the back side of it.

• There is oil dampness on the bottom of the steering gear.

• Rear end has a minimal amount of fluid on the bottom.

• Oil leakage on the engine, and transmission area is a bit more than you would typically see. However driving the car may help, or a replaced transmission gasket would help much.

• Front springs have a help spacer on the right side, you can see new stabilizer links on either side as well.

Welcome to Auto Connection
Connecting buyers and sellers of unique vehicles

Conditions of Sale:
Auto Connection is NOT a car dealer; but more like a real estate agent. They are a 3rd party agent, representing both buyer AND seller. The vehicles they sell are from private owners and collectors, and they provide advertising, marketing, and consulting services for individuals, companies, or dealers.

The Auto Connection representative has physically viewed the item being sold. The information comes from the seller and other research sources. Auto Connection is not responsible for any misrepresentation by the seller and/or errors in research results, including history statements of vehicle history, repairs, etc.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated.

Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags.

Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser. We welcome inspections and even have an 8 page professional vehicle inspection form you or your appraiser can use.

The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale.

It is possible that this vehicle will be sold at a higher price than the highest bid (before or after the auction ends), if the reserve is not met. After the sale (if reserve is met or not), Auto Connection must receive at least a 10% deposit (wire transfer or official bank or cashier’s check) within 3 days of the end of the auction (or the Bill of Sale is signed). The high bidder/buyer has 10 days from this time to send the balance in full or final payment and inspect the vehicle (or have a 3rd party professional inspection).

For the most part, the vehicle for sale is not “perfect”. It is unreasonable to assume that every single flaw in the paint, body, engine, etc. or any minor mechanical items (such as a light not working) be considered a reason to refuse the vehicle. Major rust/rot, undisclosed problems with the frame, etc. might constitute a legitimate reason for the buyer to refuse to follow through with the sale. In that situation, Auto Connection would negotiate with the seller and buyer to try to reach an agreeable solution.

The buyer acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle to verify it is as listed and represented. He accepts the vehicle with all advertised equipment, options and accessories in "AS IS" condition with any faults or defects. The buyer will bear all future costs of repairs or correcting any defects that exist or may occur in the future. The seller will have no responsibility or liability for any consequential damages or injury caused by any failure or malfunction of the vehicle or any components. This car is being offered for sale by owner. The buyer and seller acknowledge that if the transaction is consummated and a dispute occurs relating to the sale, the laws of Ohio (the state that the car is located/sold) govern the rights and duties under the agreement.
