Cadillac Fleetwood SIXTY SPECIAL (1939)
for sale

Price: US $12,000.00

Description:

The 1939 Cadillac Sixty Special with Fleetwood body was introduced in October 1938. This car qualifies as a true classic by the CCCA (Classic Car Club of America). A designation reserved for select motor cars built before 1948 that have great impact or significance on the heritage of the automobile. This is an outstanding example of the GM design studio of Bill Mitchell and Harvey Earl. This particular car was shipped from Detroit to Boston on February 28, 1939 with a Trinidad Gray exterior (photos of original car and documentation included with car) and a Special Order red leather (Trim Code SO6108) interior instead of Gray cloth. Only 5, 513 Sixty Specials were built in 1939 in only one model, a four door sedan. In 1996 it was repainted a butternut cream. The car was fully restored at least once in its life and is currently a nicely maintained driver. It is a matching numbers car. It is reliable and runs great, is fully capable and dependable for touring, club outings and general fun. It is as comfortable at the country club as it is in a parade or old car show. With a smooth as silk 346 CI engine it cruises the interstates or local streets with equal ease. I have full mechanical records prior to approximately 2006. Based on the mileage noted on receipts I believe the odometer to be 137, 000, but there is no proof or assurance of that. It was owned and garaged by one owner since 1995 (20 Years) and passed New York State Motor Vehicle Inspection in July, 2015.
This car is a movie star! The car will be seen in the Disney Studios production, The Finest Hours to be released in January 2016. See here for story line detail.
Some points on the car’s condition, in no particular order are as follows:
Mechanical -
Motor was completely rebuilt in 2002 and runs great. An alternator has replaced the generator but remains a 6 volt system. Heater/Defroster work well, Ignition switch has been hidden under the dash for security. Dash gauges all work except speedometer (odometer is fine). Hood springs are weak. OEM operating fog lights with Cadillac logo embossed. Transmission was just rebuilt. Ignition key fits both front doors. Has spare tire, but no jack.
Trim and Bright Work
– Stainless steel window frame is flawless. Glass retaining molding shows some pitting. A little rust on vent window frames. Hood Godess is flawless. Wood grain appears to be original and is excellent with a couple of chips near instruments. Bumpers and taillights are recently re-chromed. Grills and other cast parts show some pitting. Floor pans and frame are solid and show nothing more than a patina oxidation, with no perforation anywhere. Glass is all clear and appears to be original–a little discoloration on edge of right rear window. Paint has some chipping, scratches and a few spider webs.
Interior
Headliner is like new. Carpet is new and trunk is relined with rubber mat and carpet. Door panel fabric, left driver door has a 4- 6 inch tear (see photos). and right visor sags. Leather has a couple of quarter-size tears.
This is a reliable and fun car to drive. It is suitable for daily use and special events. It will draw praise and WOW's at the local supermarket, country club or church. It is an honest representation of the pre-war luxury era. Please don’t bid unless you are a serious and are a qualified buyer. Call me at 973-886-4000. I am committed to making room for another car I bought and this car must be sold at a very reasonable price.
