Description
1966 CADILLAC Fleetwood Brougham
No reserve
• French registration document
• Chassis number: P6170721
• 7.0L V8 engine
• Originally imported from France
The Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special represents the ultimate expression of 1960s American luxury. The Fleetwood Sixty Special Brougham was the most luxurious Cadillac of its era. It stands out for its formal-looking vinyl roof, genuine walnut trim, illuminated writing tables for rear passengers, footrests and individual reading lights. Inside, everything exudes understated opulence – that of a car designed not to impress, but to pamper.
Under the bonnet, the 429 cubic inch (7.0-litre) V8 engine produces 340 bhp and is paired with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. In 1966, the Brougham version established itself as the preferred choice, selling over 13,600 units compared to just 5,445 for the standard Sixty Special.
The car on offer is a 1966 Fleetwood Special, originally delivered new by General Motors France and owned by the same owner since 1983. The vehicle starts but a complete mechanical overhaul is required. Aesthetically, the car has aged rather well despite a thick layer of dust and a few dents.
A restoration project, this Cadillac is of interest due to its history and its rarity in Europe.
