Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
This less than 20,000 miles since new 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special is fully optioned, and mostly original and is the “preferred driver” of the owner’s Cadillac Collection. The stunning color combination, beautiful chrome, Continental Kit, and wide white wall tires will make this gorgeous example a favorite at local shows and on tours.
This gorgeous Fleetwood was acquired by the current owners from Joyce Nadeau of Port Coquitlam, BC in 2019. The Sixty Special was one of approximately 11 Cadillacs that were owned and placed in storage as part of Mrs. Nadeau’s late husband’s collection. The current proud owners, Dennis and Rose Olson of Lundbreck, Alberta, are avid collectors who enjoy maintaining and showing their beautiful Cadillacs. Dennis and Rose are growing older and have decided to begin liquidating the collection to devote more time to other endeavors.
The livery of this Fleetwood is Cheviot Gray with an Alpine White top (Paint Code 14-12) and is believed to be original. The paint shows very well overall with very nice shine and luster. There are a few minor imperfections with paint touch ups in the higher use areas. The chrome and stainless-steel show very well overall. The new wide whitewall radials along with the addition of the striking Continental Kit provide a stately addition to the overall appearance of this gorgeous Fleetwood. This Fleetwood has made it a favorite of local shows in Alberta.
The interior seating and door panels have been reupholstered in a light gray cloth and light gray vinyl that is a similar to the original upholstery and shows well throughout. The new light gray carpet shows as new and beautifully complements the light gray upholstery. This Sixty Special is well optioned including power seats, power windows, power vent windows, factory seat belts, Autronic Eye, power trunk release and EZ Eye tinted glass. All gauge’s function as designed and work well. The radio, foot controller and power antenna have been restored. An alternate radio will accompany the Fleetwood.
The engine compartment is in nice condition overall and shows well. The very low mileage 365 cid V-8 engine produces 310 hp at 4,800 rpm with a Carter four-barrel carburetor. The engine is very quiet with excellent power which is transferred to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine runs strong and very well, and the automatic transmission operates quietly and shifts smoothly. The Sixty Special is complete with air conditioning and power steering. It also comes complete with a front disc brake conversion kit that is not installed. The engine compartment is also adorned with a commemorative dealer delivery photo of the Fleetwood.
This Cadillac comes complete with the rare Continental Kit which makes this Fleetwood an instant stand out. The Fleetwood comes complete with the spare tire, car cover, a spare radio, an additional wheel cover, miscellaneous parts and several receipts and invoices. The 158-point inspection report is available on our website along with nearly 113 photos and three videos. The inspection found that the air conditioning is complete but has not been recommissioned, the passenger side vent window does not open (which may be simply the glass frame has adhered to the rubber seal), the wipers have been converted to electric and all other instruments and lights work well. This Fleetwood drives beautifully in all respects.
We have this Fleetwood Sixty Special priced well as a 2- condition. This reflects its 19,000 miles from new, being fully optioned and its overall condition. The Hagerty Value Guide has a No. 2 example with air conditioning priced at $46,440 and a No. 3 example at $35,010.
