Vehicle Description

In 1964, Muhammad Ali won his first Heavyweight Boxing World Championship. A different type of heavyweight rolled off the assembly line the same year: This mighty Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan, with its length of 5.7 metres, a kerb weight of 2.2 tons and equipped with its 429 cui V8 (7.0 litre) engine which produces no less than 230 kW (313 hp) of power – enough for a top speed of nearly 123 mph, although the 98 litre fuel tank won’t get you far then…
It came equipped with features that were far from standard at that time: Automatic climate control, power windows front and rear, electrically adjustable seats, cornering lamps and cruise control.
The Cadillac has been thoroughly refurbished several years ago, all works being documented. The repainting was done very carefully so the car still presents itself in a very decent condition on the outside. The red and black leather interior displays only minimal traces of use. Technically, the car, which is reported to have had three owners from new, is in a good condition according to the previous owner who held the Cadillac since 2012. The engine has been overhauled, using only original spare parts, including crankshaft, camshafts plus timing chain as well as all bearings. Some of the electrical appliances are currently not working. The 60 Special runs on a set of new tyres and has valid technical approval until 03/2016.
A very appealing full-size Cadillac from the Roaring Sixties.


The American Dream incarnate

As is often the case in US car naming conventions, the term “Cadillac Sixty Special” was used for many decades, over eleven generations of full-size luxury cars built by General Motors. The 60 Special was placed above the volume-selling DeVille, but below the even more luxurious Series 75. The 1963 brochure, for example, marketed it as “The Cadillac that stands out among other Cadillacs”.

Throughout its many generations, the 60 Special has always remained a 4-door sedan.
From 1977 till 1985, the Sixty Special Series was temporarily retired, before returning for the eleventh (and last) generation as a front-wheel-driven car – the only one that ever featured a six-cylinder engine – and a Diesel at that!

However, it is the impressive, heavily tailfinned specimens of the 1950s and 1960s as well as the nearly six metre long sedans of the 1970s and their massive V8 engines with capacities up to 8.2 litres that the Sixty Special will be remembered for.
