Description of 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood |
This is a remarkable car with a remarkable history. The original owner was anwealthy elder gentleman and Cadillac afficionado. He had special ordered this automobile in 1982 and took delivery of it in 1983. In true iconic style he flew to the factory in order to watch his latest Cadillac roll off the assembly line. Several years after enjoying the car it was involved in a small insurance claim. A windstorm had done a bit of damage. Unsatisfied with the way he was being treated the owner took the car to the dealership to get repairs done to his liking. As I understand it evidently he was used to getting his way and by this time there was a bit of dimensia at play. Everything was ordered new for the car. Everything the car didn't even need. He ordered all brand new trims all brand new grill all brand new everything. He got a new top put on the car and a glamorous paintjob with multiple coats of clear. Never being quite satisfied with the chrome he sent the bumpers and grill out to get triple plated in show chrome. Most remarkably..... He had ordered a BRAND NEW crate engine! Also a brand new crate transmission!! This is at less than49000 milessince the car was new!!!!! Since then the car has seen perhaps less than 25 outings. That was back in the mid-'80's and it has not been even been hand washed since; only rinsed. The paint is near perfection without any "swirl marks" from washing or anything. The car has sat inside the garage parked on carpet covered with sheets for 30 years. It is occassionally started but hasn't been driven more than 12 times since. There is not a chip. The chrome gleams like no other! This is a marvelous car for those who appreciate the classic comfort and elegance of Cadillacs from an era gone by. What a time machine! Take advantage of the weak Canadian dollar.With theadvantageous American exchange rate your dollar will go much further AND... you can likely have this car shipped for free!!! Thank you for your consideration and have a nice day!!! |
