1973 Cadillac Fleetwood with 18K Original Miles! FOR SALE

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

What a gorgeous Cadillac! The epitome of class and elegance. Whoever gets this car is very lucky indeed.

[@groovy1937]

Oh my , that a beautiful survivor Cadillac! That takes me back to 1973! One of my favorites years of my life. For me, I loved how things were back then, the cars, the music, the homes, appliances, shag carpet, harvest gold, big console TV's, Marantz receivers. If I could go back just for a few days . . . . oh the memories! This car brings back so much that I miss. . .

[@MR..181]

Those maranz were amps also..

[@matthomas4000]

I bought a 73 Fleetwood in 76. Loved that car. My first Cadillac. I now have 75 Sedan de Ville that need some rust work and paint.

[@desertmodern7638]

Back in the day I had a 1973 Sedan de Ville and then a 1974 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance. Both great cars, but nothing rides like a Fleetwood of that vintage.

[@KyleArcher-in1es]

This is by far, my most favorite model car!!!! And this condition is just unbelievable!!!! I think I only blinked about 5 times during this video! DAMN!!!!!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Beautiful car. Love the 73. The new owner will be a lucky guy.

[@christopherlaflam6383]

Omg. I cannot believe how beautiful this car is. Those colors. That chrome! That interior! What a dream. My XTS VSport is a tight fit in my garage.....this would have no chance! This is what a luxury car should be.

[@Danny-ju2ip]

I remember as a kid my Uncle had the similar Caddy. I used to get yelled at for playing with the electric windows. All my other relatives had mostly Chevys with manual windows. Even as kids in the 70s we knew that car was something special.

[@southerncadman7066]

You are so right. What we see as standard options today were considered special back then. Rear defrost, fm radio, 8 track cassette player, tilt wheel, etc. Even A/C!

[@tomb7382]

1973 was a great year for Caddy as the updates over the 1972 were beautiful. The grill and headlight design looked so much better, as did the rear tailights. The simple style wheel covers were so elegant and timeless. The interior was much improved as well, with much more plush door panels, nicer wood grain trim, and better seat sew styles. The color looks really nice too, and I don't recall seeing many this color. My parents had a 73 SDV with a gold exterior, black vinyl roof, and maize color leather interior. Simply beautiful.

[@erictate8986]

Southerncadman Hello, WOW, that's a beautiful classic 1973 Cadillac !! Knowing me being a perfectionist I would definitely have to take care that rust in the window area and under the Vinyl top !! That's only reason why I don't care for Vinyl tops because they trap moisture underneath , but definitely a beautiful car !!🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪🔥❤️

[@ThomasJones-sz3sx]

Absolutely Stunning!!

[@danlarson4513]

My favorite year of Cadillac. My Mom worked for Hertz and they would get one in. I was amazed by it.

[@johnpezzullo9644]

Absolutely STUNNING... !!!!!

[@carlbeamon1343]

Fine classic Fleetwood Brougham, I owned the twin to this years ago here in California and also had another FB ‘73 same in blue. You did a great showing of the Fleetwood in your video and like your wife I’d hate to see it go.🎄

[@corneliusjones7518]

Str8 Elegance my God magnificent beauty

[@andyjohnson6548]

I wish I had room for one more car in my garage. Beautiful car, great video 👍

[@rogerbear60]

Thanks for the memories. I had one of these in 1981 or 1982. It had its issues by the time I got it, but it still ranks as one of my all-time favorite cars. A medium blue, blue vinyl top and blue leather interior. I think I paid $1,500.00 at the time.

[@JacksonTownsend-nh8gg]

What a great piece. Model year I was born!

[@cbryant736]

In the mid to late 1980s I worked at a grocery store while in high school and college. The owners had a 1973 Fleetwood like this. I think the brown paint was a little darker and the interior was multi-colored brown and tan velour. They kept this car for convenience, but had moved on to newer luxury cars. I would sometimes be sent on errands and had to drive it. It was like driving a yacht. I always thought you could run through a canal ditch or over another car and never feel it. It was unbelievable. They don't make them like that anymore.

[@Bud88883]

I owned that same car except it was a two door exact same color. It was in 1979 when I was twenty two years old. It had the same leather interior. I loved that car. Unfortunately I had to sell it in 1982 due to financial issues. Oh by the way I paid $2000.00 dollars for it.

[@dwbush777]

I owned a 1973 Cadillac Sedan de Ville in 1977 that was white with a Navy blue top and leather interior. I loved that car.

[@oriedobson2635]

fantastic condition, fantastic color combination inside and out

[@donpugh8099]

Stunning isn't the word. I wouldn't touch it being totally unmolested and being the original paint.It only makes it more desirable car. Just beautiful

[@southerncadman7066]

Thank you. That is exactly the way I see it!

[@donpugh8099]

Wow….this is the mother load find! The color, model…..my head is exploding 🤯. Fantastic!

[@MostlyBuicks]

Motherlode.

[@johnskay8583]

Loved the cars of the 70's when cars had class.

[@dennisbecher4557]

Is it possible to repair the rust and prevent any future rust in that back window? To nice to allow more deterioration there... Beautiful!

[@southerncadman7066]

To repair that completely you would need to remove the rear window. It is a strange spot, but common with these years.

[@lecadeau22201]

I want that! 🤩

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

That color is simply some kind of gorgeous! I would absolutely adore a Lyriq in this shade. *Lacquer Mirage Taupe (sublime American Iron)

[@kroge007]

Welcome back!!!!

[@olikat8]

Have a '76 Valiant sedan (with the V8 and some really odd options) I was given by the original owner. Was parked in the early '80's, so it was very, very original when I got it- like your Caddy, the seat belt buzzer even works!

[@southerncadman7066]

I didn’t know they had that feature in 1975. You learn something every day!

[@olikat8]

@@southerncadman7066 yup- I'm in Chapel Hill, LMK if you're over here and I'll show you it in all it's underwhelming beige glory

[@bigvinny-zf1tg]

My dad had this car when I was a kid… and I remember that rust in the same spot… the vinyl top does that to the car

[@southerncadman7066]

Yep. As a cost savings measure, Cadillac did not paint the roof of Ty e car was getting a vinyl top. The result is that notorious rust.

[@mg4663]

Gorgeous car!

[@SA-bq1us]

I hoping to hear some christmas music over the radio..and how about those fiber optic turn signals

[@southerncadman7066]

Yes, and the 8 track. I forgot to mention a few things. Lol

[@Ronald-sg4ym]

Nice Lac Nice color my man 👨

[@markdaniele4539]

I had a 73 coup . Best car I ever owned. Do you think that vinyl roof may need to come off for rust protection? I know that happened to me. This is a beautiful piece and the price is fair

[@southerncadman7066]

The lower strip of vinyl below the trim would need to come off to address the surface rust spots, but I think could be reattached. I do not think the entire top needs to be replaced.

[@raymondescobar1702]

ELEGANTE PERFECTO FOR ME THE ONLY THING THAT BOTHERS ME, ITS MISSING THE CADILLAC CREST ON THE HOOD.

[@flunder50]

We missed you man. 👀 at the brougham you drove by at your house

[@southerncadman7066]

Good eye. It is coming up soon.

[@ginowagonucci]

A near perfect representation of the 70's. Long, with chrome bumpers, Big block V8, lotsa woodgrain, leather bench seat, thick carpet, tilt wheel, awesome wheel covers.... Nice color combination too. Does it have 8 track?

[@southerncadman7066]

Yes, I should have pointed that out! I forgot.

[@dcformee123]

If you like to see old Cadillacs going fast you ought to check out the video of the guy driving a 70 coupe DeVille around the Nuremberg ring in Germany and doing over a hundred miles an hour flying that big boat it's a great video.

[@johanbrand8601]

Awesome car! I love it.

[@bruschmidt9943]

0:36 I'm really surprised to see the emblem centered on the forward edge of front hood? I thought ALL Cadillacs had the upright hood ornaments or at least the highest end versions like DeVilles, Eldorado & Fleetwood Broughams. This wasn't a Calais. My Grandmother won a brand-new 1954 Corvette at a raffle. She wasn't a car person at all. When the Dealership delivered it to her house, she asked them to park it in her detached garage in the backyard. After that, she brought out sheets, quilts and blankets to cover the car. Eventually things got placed all around it for storage. She never told anyone she'd won this or had it. In all the years we'd known her, she was very private about her things & no one was allowed in her garage. 53 years later she was in ler late 80s. Her neighbor asked about the car. It took her a while to remember it, then she did. With a stunned look, she asked him what he would charge to take that old junk out of there & get rid of it? He said no, I was going to pay you for it. He then offered her $1,500 for the brand-new 1954 Corvette, white with red interior & convertible top. The car was never registered & had 11 (eleven) miles on the odometer. It looked brand spanking-new like it belonged in a Museum 😮

[@southerncadman7066]

Wow, what a story!

[@bertram46]

Thats Ziebart. I know the plugs. That was the best product on the market

[@southerncadman7066]

Thanks for the info.

[@PedroFuentesMarrero]

Walter Fuentes from Uruguay greets you

[@larrycones2761]

Those cars last longer because most were easy to fix

[@southerncadman7066]

True. But back then, there was a mentality that 100k miles was the end of the line. A lot of good cars got junked before they should have.

[@JeromeDumas-g1q]

Absolutely Delicious

[@dcformee123]

My first car I got back in 82 or 81 not sure was a 1971 Cadillac sedan DeVille that I bought from the original owner old lady I only had 85,000 mi on it it was a nice car for a first car I can blow away a lot of people in a big Cadillac it was very fast with the 472 being an 18 year old boy with the car with the 472 with 375 horsepower and I always put premium in it let it they had back then at 76 in California with 92 octane but it would still ping a little bit.

[@southerncadman7066]

Yeah, sounds familiar. It was hard to keep those from pinging. LOL. I remember back in the ‘80s buying octane booster at K-Mart for $0.99 to add to each tank of my 1975 Eldorado.

[@jeromemoore703]

Do you also know where to get parts for Cadillacs like a neutral safety switch for 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood

[@southerncadman7066]

Sorry, I don’t

[@PedroFuentesMarrero]

If you answer me I would appreciate it and please give me the value of that car or something similar. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[@southerncadman7066]

I think I have it fairly priced at $24,500

[@bdt5788]

How much????

[@ThomasFowler-g7i]

How much

[@Jewtube-i7o]

That odometer has been rolled back.

[@dma124]

How do you suppose?

[@oldiesgeek454]

If you were to take it to a professional, would they paint the entire car to fix the chipped paint?

[@southerncadman7066]

Good question. The problem is that with modern paints you cannot just touch up a spot. Entire panels need to be painted and neither the color nor the sheen would match. It would be a case of the cure being worse than the disease, in my opinion. The other option would be to surgically address those areas with the lacquer I mentioned that I used to do the fillers. But even then there would be some slight mismatch in color and you would have a heck of a time finding someone who would be willing to spray lacquer and with the skill to do it. It is a matter of picking your poison. I would be open to touching those spots up after the sale, but personally, I prefer the 100% original paint factor.

[@peteriwanow7716]

It's my favorite year for Sedan de Villes and Fleetwood Broughams. While 18k is phenomenal, I can't see paying that much with the paint in that condition and the rust inside the rear deck. That's a serious turn off.

[@southerncadman7066]

I thought about touching up the paint in a surgical way. The spot of rust is actually typical for that year. It is isolated and not a bad fix, but have to remove the glass and package tray. But as long as the car is kept inside it wont get any worse.
