Garage find! 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special all orginal with 40k miles!

come with me and check out this 40k all orginal mile garage find cadillac!

[@stex1985]

Had one exactly like it except mine had A/C. Sold it because someone wanted way more than me. Brought a 64 Fleetwood next. Don’t let someone talk you out of it unless they offer you two truck loads of cash. Your car is a great find.

[@rcampbell4967]

Incredible. Amazing car. Beautiful. My grandfather was a truck driver and race car owner and driver in the predecessor to Formula 1. He always drove Cadillac's. My father always drove Cadillac's. I've had a few, but the newer ones cannot match the elegance of the classics.

[@MarinCipollina]

Cadillacs were magical up until 1971 or so.. That was the end of the era.

[@rcampbell4967]

@MarinCipollina ehhhh. I beg to disagree. But to each his own. My father is now in his 90's, and his escalade is one fine car.

[@MarinCipollina]

@@rcampbell4967 I understand.. But surely you would agree the current crop of Cadillacs is an entirely different animal than what used to define the brand? The CT5 V Series Blackwing is a mindblowing performance work of art.. They're just not CADILLACS in the traditional sense. I suppose Escalade comes closest to the earlier values, but lacks the imaginative style and presence of the cars of 55 - 80 years ago..

My 58 Eldorado Brougham has that sort of metallic upholstery also. Center seat parts and surrounded by matching interior leather. My rear wheel covers come off in one large piece up high like yours show. I have 39K on my Brougham at present! Too many cars with little time To drive them all.. your Fleetwood is FANTASTIC AND ELEGANCE PERSONIFIED,!! Love it!!!

[@stevepouliot6906]

Your right, I own a 58 oldsmobile super 88, and it's drenched with chrome, gotta love those late 50's GM cars, absolute art in my eyes

[@steves9905]

Gorgeous. The black and silver interior is a stunner. I have one too, triple green, with a/c and airride. These just blow peoples minds...may as well be from outer space as most people have never seen anything like them. Even non-car people know what a '59 looks like, but the '58 is my fav. Actually the whole '58 GM lineup is awesome...never to be repeated

[@MarinCipollina]

Yeah.. 1957 and 1958 was GM jet age design at its finest.

The 58 Fleetwood is one hell of a car. That Rear Quarter Chrome makes the Car so special.

MY dad bought a used 58 60 Special Silver/Grey in 1960, Playa del Rey, CA. 7K miles. Beautiful motorcar. Dad let me use it on special dates in 62 when I got my license. Yup, an outstanding drive-in vehicle. 😁 Dad was an USAF fighter pilot & soon had the "Need for speed." In 64 he traded the Cad in on a new 64 GTO conv, silver/black, 4 speed, Tri-power. On my dates, I never went to a drive-in again. Yeeeehaaaa! Loved that little GTO. Cheers!

[@groovy1937]

Love the Cadillac! I have always loved the 1958. I remember back the 1970's and 1980's these cars were so unappreciated, I would see them occasionally on the used car lots for low prices - obviously not this pristine, but they just did not command any value . This is a spectacular car and I love it!

[@MarinCipollina]

By the late 1960s and into the 1970s there were so many quality used Cadillacs from the '50s and early '60s for damn near give-away prices...

[@jaygatz4335]

Your Fleetwood is a beauty! I was married in 1972, my wife's stepfather was good friends with the owner of a funeral home who supplied one of his "older" cars to use as our limo. What an amazing ride, it floated down the road, a true land yacht. I just looked at some wedding pictures to see the car. It was a 1954 Fleetwood. I remember my bride was disappointed we didn't get one of the new cars, but I was thrilled. I thought it was such a cool car. I just bought a new CT5. Caddys rule! lol

[@MarinCipollina]

They're nice enough cars, but the current Cadillacs aren't real Cadillacs.. 1970 was the last of the era.

​@@beatglauser9444 Absolutely correct! I know of a place in Athens,Ga, w/a bunch of old cars sitting outside the building: a '60 Cad Sedan, '66-67 Mustang convt, and a Rolls Royce, about mid '70's, all just sitting out there..for YEARS, and the guy just refuses to sell ANY of them.

My great-grandmother had one in Gunmetal with a white top. She kept it in tip-top shape but rarely drove it very much. I didn't hear you talk about the air suspension, nor did I see the "electric eye" that dimmed the bright automatically. You've got a great find. Their interiors were known to hold up poorly. Thanks!

[@Cadillac_Coach_Works]

It did not have those optioned. Thanks!

[@panam747]

Lucky for you, as the air suspension was temperamental. Numerous owners put shocks in when they kept having to shell out lots of money to get it fixed; I must say, however, when it did work, it was smooth sailing. @@Cadillac_Coach_Works

The '59 is too cliché.. It's what non-Cadillac people think the ultimate Cadillac is.. Give me a 1957, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1964, or a 1967 through 1970

[@sharonortedschempp8759]

Hi there...... Gorgeous Car......! Regarding the "Dings" on the passenger side front door...... can a skilled body shop just "buff out" and apply touch up paint to those small areas..... or would that be "too simplistic a fix?" Truly a Treasure..... and so great that it apparently always lived in So. Cal., so it avoided being exposed to any harsh winter conditions including "Rock Salt" and other potentially corrosives.....!! Congratulations.....! The closest I ever came to something similar, was my Dad's fire engine red 1958 MGA sports car, which he allowed me to drive, without wrecking it, when I was in High School in the late 60s. However, Massachusetts winters, as you know, aren't at all "gracious" to any car body, so it suffered quite a bit from that, and I had to replace its rocker panels. The father of a beautiful young lady I really liked a whole lot and eventually dated, had two MGs.... A red 1953 TC, I believe, and a 1955 TF, which was also red.... It was very cool how those three cars brought the two of us together for a bit... and looking back, I wish that I had married her...!! We're both 72 now, H. S. Class of '69, and the last I heard she and her husband were retired and living somewhere along The Maine Coast..... I dunno if she's widowed as I am.....??!! LOL!! My Dad also had a black 1936 Chysler Straight Six, two-door "Businessman's Coupe," with bullet headlights and running board. It needed quite a bit of work and I was able to get it running again, but I ran out of money and eventually sold it to a mechanic who I'm sure did great work on it and brought it back to life! My Dad also bought two used Mercedes in the mid 60s and early 70s. The first was a black 220 four-door sedan, and the more recent one was a beautiful baby blue four-door 240.... or whatever the common sedan was in the early 70s.....?? Ted Schempp, Nashville.

I have not found a car to compare with the comfort, power quality and elegance of my 1963 Fleetwood. That is one that I am sorry to have let go.

[@touraneindanke]

The ding’s come out easily with paint free dent repair. It’s maybe not everywhere available in the US but looking around for it pays off. Sadly because of the huge financial interests of the body shops it’s suppressed big time.

[@Cadillac_Coach_Works]

I've had a few people take a look. They say the metal is to thick. The search continues

[@touraneindanke]

@@Cadillac_Coach_Works Okay Because it did work out great on my extremely old Volvo. But Swedish paint and metal are literally a world away from Cadillac and very different. I am not the expert taking time and doing research is indeed the way to go. For everyone with that kind of issue…‘wishing you patience and good luck’..

[@johntechwriter]

We want more than a "quick video" of your work on this stunning car. Cadillacs heralded from an era wherein the factories both in N America and Europe, extensively modernized🎉 traditional design elements received extensive updates -- not based on existing concept cars that were actually in production and in fact were being built, usually based on cars the styler was trying to steal some thunder from - - as in, already in the works -- but from concept cars -- based on show cars made streetable by young people eager to get back to their vision of the future. In any one characteristic sets this owner demographic from all others, IMO it s the car's overall excellence when I went to this show in the mid-90s, this new generation of much younger owners were not looking for "clones" to be sequestered under glass lest it defile what the owner wants to single out for praise a particular car's charisma, something about its design and maybe performance too , just to show the restorers' hearts are on the same wavelength as the designers of the past, and simultaneously the owners in the future.. These days (March 2024), the mostly cosmetic restoration treatment resonates with the back-to-basics ethos that these cars were pretty to look at, but there was much more to them than that. Often the restoration includes bone-deep restomods that can deliver the goods at the local drag strip. What today's buyers think will interpret the original generation of restorers' top priority : had-ass personality, -- "Frankenmods" that use the stock version as the starting place of a machine whose magic, for many, will never die. This car is the perfect example of a classic whose power and appearance emulate many restomods, except the beauty and performance are not intended to replicate the original, but to update that model according to the standards that were not intended to allow the production's to see how fast cars of this era could go, but instead create, from a cherry original, a presence that the modern restorer does not follow slavishly, but infuses with its own generation, whose ghosts are to be seen flitting among the flames of dreams come true. In the many camp fires associated with this summertime activityThis is perhaps the beginning of a new approach to engaging one's passion in the original, adding to process perhaps a six-pack rather than a previous generation's insistence the car not only talks the talk, but it walks the walk, too. not for go, but in present day reality,

Until this vehicle model, I thought all ‘58 model GM products were substandard. This is understandably one of the nicest. I.previously misjudged the round edges

[@DSP1968]

What a beauty! FYI, if you have the original plates and a registration card showing they were issued to your car, you can put them on today. The CA program is called Year of Manufacture" and your local DMV should know how to process this for you. I've done this with my '68 Cougar. And I also did this about a year ago with a '65 Mustang from out of state under other provisions of that program.

[@Cadillac_Coach_Works]

Still have to re instate which I will

[@elaineewalt8137]

Yup, I've also done that here in Ga. w/my '64 Fairlane! However, the tag I used wasn't originally issued to my car; I found that 1964 Georgia tag at a fleamarket! 😉

[@curtcollett2893]

Personally I'd much rather have this than an Eldorado Brougham. Always thought the 58 rear styling flowed much better on the DeVille and Fleetwood.

[@alejandroeguren4187]

I am writing from Lima, Perú. There was a multi millionaire, Mr. de la Piedra, who owned since new, an exact copy of this car: 1958, Fleetwood 60-Special 4 door sedan, even black, the exact same color. He passed away around 1977 and the car was bought by a guy I identified then, but have forgotten completely, as the buying guy was not my friend. 47 years have elapsed since then and I wonder where the car is now. Perhaps it was sold to a collector abroad, as its overall condition was perfect, as this car's.

[@hornetbrown]

While growing up, my neighbor had two old Caddies, a '57 & '58, body-on restos, drove and ran very well. I couldn't get over how well made they both were, and the abundance of power options. The oil bath air filters were just so strange to me, but they worked.

[@beatglauser9444]

What a story, what a car! I would love to see the Coupe De Ville as well. Those little dings are normal and patina that show the car had a story. I do not own a Caddie unfortunately. But I own a 65 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, as original as it can get. she has about 60000 miles. She has some dings as she was parked beside a senile guy who I am sure hit her ever so slightly with his door. But the worst was that the storage I had the car parked was partly burnt by a mentally retarded idiot. While the exterior paint survived the heat had slightly damaged the black paint in the engine bay. A young painter thought he would do me a big favour and repainted the firewall as well. So all the factory chalkmarks were gone. Yuck! You cannot sell a car like that! Never in your life you wil lbe able to replace it! My Bonneville convertible is family owned since 1975. By 63 Belair since 1965. If I die my wife and daughter can sell those pieces of family history, but not as long as I live! There are a few years where the Cadillacs were even prettier than normally. I am addicted to 58 to 60 Cadillacs. Of course there were other gorgeus cars, The legendary 57/58 Eldorado Brougham, the 41 and 49 Sedanettes. My dream would be a 1960 (any model) or a 1959 Sixty special. I do not put the unobtainium Broughams of the aera on the list. Two of my friends own 1958 Buick Limited models. One a 4 d and one a convertible. Another has the overchromed 1958 Oldsmobile. GM really went downhill since the golden age!
