This Cadillac is documented as the ninth Model 9033 Imperial Sedan produced for the final year of the iconic V-16 engine, from a total production run of just 20 examples in 1940 with only five remaining today. The Cadillac was purchased in 1953 by John Confer of Tucson, Arizona, who enjoyed the Cadillac regularly for many years before storing it with the intention of eventual restoration. The current owner acquired the Cadillac in 2011 with 54,551 miles indicated and undertook a meticulous frame-off restoration that concluded in 2018.  Since completion, the Cadillac has been selectively shown at CCCA and Concours events, earning recognition for both authenticity and presentation, and now shows 54,558 miles.

The Imperial Sedan is finished in its original Cavern Green, presenting with exceptional gloss, depth, and surface quality that highlight the Fleetwood body’s dramatic scale and Art Deco proportions. The fully rechromed grille, brightwork, and trim are in excellent condition, anchored by the iconic “Flying Goddess” hood ornament that also serves as the hood latch release. The headlights are fitted into the body and appear slightly asymmetrical. Twin side-mounted covered spare tires reinforce the formal profile, while bright green painted wheels fitted with V-16 chrome hubcaps and wide whitewall tires complete the period-correct presentation.

The interior reflects Cadillac’s pinnacle of chauffeur-driven luxury, with a black leather front compartment trimmed with tan carpeting that presents in very good to excellent condition. The rear passenger compartment is upholstered in tan broadcloth in excellent condition and configured with two captain-style chairs, dual folding jump seats, and plush carpeting with folding footrests, creating a serene and formal traveling environment. Burled walnut window surrounds, period-correct Art Deco lighting, and a functioning roll-up division security plate glass provide both elegance and acoustic isolation. Instrumentation, including the sweeping 100-mph speedometer, gauges, and dash clock, remains functional, while the original Motorphone intercom system is present though not currently operational.

Power is provided by the original Series 90 L-head 431 cubic inch V-16 engine, equipped with dual carburetors, twin fuel pumps, and twin distributors, paired with the original three-speed synchromesh manual transmission with column shift. The drivetrain has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, and maintained since the restoration, delivering the hallmark smoothness and near-silent operation that defined Cadillac’s V-16 flagship. Independent front suspension with coil springs, semi-elliptic rear leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes provide a composed, “boat-like” ride quality, with the steering box rebuilt in 2024. This Cadillac remains a mechanically sorted and historically significant example of prewar American engineering at its absolute peak.

The Hagerty Value for a 1940 Cadillac V-16 Imperial Sedan Model 9033 is $200,000 for a No. 1 example and $145,000 for a No. 2 example. We have this priced fairly for our client and the buyer as a 1- for its condition, preservation and provenance.

The original color combination for this car is Pecos Beige (Paint Code 44) and Taupe Metallic (Paint Code 48) and was changed to Cobalt Blue when restored.  The gold anodized grill is original and is in great condition! The gold anodized grill is a rare upgrade for the Sixty Special that stems from the highly popular Eldorado models.

This is a beautiful 1938 Cadillac Series 75 V8 Convertible Sedan with Division that has an incredible provenance and has been restored only as-needed.  The restoration services were performed only as needed and the result is a beautiful example that can be shown at most all concours events or enjoyed for touring.

During his past ownership, this Cadillac has undergone a refreshening to exacting standards, including a bare metal respray of the original Black paint and a correct replacement of the tan canvas convertible top.

The exterior of this Cadillac was refinished in its original Black livery and still appears showroom new. The chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition with only a few minor imperfections. The tan Haartz cloth convertible top was replaced along with the inner lining and a replating of the convertible top frame.   It is still in concours condition today. The lack of dual side mounts give a longer appearance and looks great, giving the Cadillac a more commanding presence. The chrome wheel covers are in fine shape and are wrapped with Firestone wide white wall bias ply tires.  With the convertible top down, the Cadillac looks more like a sporty phaeton than a convertible sedan.

The beautiful Grey leather interior is largely original including the carpeting. The door panels look terrific, save for some wear marks near the footwell and from the utilization of the window cranks. The front seats are comfortable and show little signs of wear given the age of the Cadillac. The rear seat shows well when considering the age and still has a soft and supple cushion.  The original interior are examples that this Cadillac has been incredibly well loved and cared for since new.

The wood trim looks very nice and really reveals the quality and beauty that Cadillac is known for. The dash and instrumentation are clear and clean. The division operates with a near effortless twist of the handle. Adorning the area around the division window handle are a cigar lighter and a rare Fleetwood clock. The interior accent lighting is functional and bright.

Mechanically, this Cadillac is ready for the show field and for long distance touring. The 346 cubic inch V8 offered 135 horsepower when new and provides ample power. The floor mounted three speed manual transmission moves through the gears well and offers a confidence inspiring driving experience. The engine compartment is finely detailed, and the undercarriage is clean and original.

For more information and details, please call, text or email Kendi Brown at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Series 75 is available for viewing at our Phoenix, AZ showroom.  We are pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help coordinate shipping worldwide.  We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing.

Originally restored in the early 1990s, this Eldorado Biarritz was subsequently displayed at the Blackhawk Museum in California before being purchased by the current owner in 2005. This Cadillac was purchased as a birthday gift and “Nelli Bell” has been well loved through the years by the whole family. Over the past two decades, the Cadillac has been carefully serviced, maintained and driven regularly. The Eldorado Biarritz has 60,000 miles, is in strong mechanical condition and is a great fit for enthusiasts who enjoy driving these wonderful Cadillacs.

The exterior of the Eldorado Biarritz is finished in Sienna Rose Metallic that has a smooth and bright presentation. The paint exhibits remarkably consistent lacquer checking that gives it a distinctive, almost deliberate character while still presenting well. The prominent chrome bumpers, bullet-style front and rear grille accents, and Cadillac badging are in overall excellent condition. The iconic 1960 tailfins retain crisp definition with integrated taillights that showcase the design shift from the 1959 styling. Ivory white convertible top and rear fender skirts complement the sleek profile, and the 15-inch wheels with Cadillac-crest covers are fitted with newer Firestone Deluxe Champion wide whitewall tires. This Eldorado is a beautiful example that is perfect for frequent driving and to present at local shows.

The interior features white leather seating for six, with a six-way power-adjustable front bench and a rear bench in similarly preserved condition. The front seating surfaces show creasing and seam separation near the driver’s side, with cracking on the seatback pockets. The door panel leather remains in good condition. Dark Rose carpeting is in good overall condition with some wear consistent with age and normal use. The two-spoke steering wheel is finished in white that does have some cracks. The factory instrumentation is in good working condition with power windows, power vents, power antenna, factory air conditioning and aftermarket radio system. This is an Eldorado that is in good overall condition with some cosmetic imperfections.

The Eldorado starts right up, has a smooth yet powerful feel, provides a strong braking response and is overall a wonderful driver! Powered by its original 390-cubic-inch V8 engine (stamped with 60E041206), the Eldorado Biarritz produces a factory-rated 345 horsepower paired with a 4-speed Hydra-Matic transmission. With 430 lb-ft of torque, a 0–60 time of 10.8 seconds, and a 124-mph top speed, the model offered notable performance for its class. This Cadillac has a Holly Sniper electronic fuel injection with a keychain battery cut off. This Cadillac has been regularly serviced under current ownership and has a clean safety inspection. This Eldorado is ready to be enjoyed!

The Cadillac comes with a custom pink car cover, service record documentation and build records.

The black livery is very formal and elegant.  The older repaint is in very nice condition with a high shine and luster.  There are some light scratches and imperfections present, but overall, it looks very nice.  The chrome and stainless are in very good condition with some use showing.

The interior offers black vinyl upholstery in the front compartment and tan fabric upholstery in the rear passenger compartment.  The two larger jump seats allow for seven to eight passengers comfortably transported.  This Cadillac has front and rear air conditioning and is loaded with options.  The air conditioning has been recently serviced and blows very cold, making it comfortable even here in Phoenix during the summer.

The 331 cid V8 offers 250 hp and is very smooth, quiet and powerful. The Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly.  The chassis overall has normal surface rust that we see in unrestored Cadillacs.

This Cadillac benefitted from a three-year restoration that is documented in its entirety in a photograph album.  The livery is Mercedes Metallic Charcoal that is in concours condition with wonderful shine and luster.  It is polished for show.  The chrome and stainless were sent to Finishing Touch and are fantastic.  All the lenses and such appear to be NOS and perfect.  The chrome wire wheels look just right with the wide white walled radials.  The burgundy canvas power convertible top is also stunning and in as-new condition.  Overall, this Cadillac is like a piece of art or jewelry.

The interior is a Burgundy leather with matching carpeting and dashboard.  The power seats are from a 1964 Cadillac and the center console is from a 1963 Oldsmobile.  All the gauges were rebuilt and calibrated, and a Howell wiring harness installed for the engine management system.  The Vintage Air controller is hidden inside its glove box and a special tilt steering wheel.  This Cadillac has all the power accessories you would expect.

The magic of this Cadillac is under its hood with a LS2 engine and 4L60E automatic transmission.  The 400 bhp V8 is fuel injected and provides 400 ft. lbs. of torque.  The Flowmaster 2 1/2-inch exhaust sounds incredible while not being too loud.  The exhaust is routed correctly through the rear bumper.  The Cadillac is completely devoid of rattles because of the Lizard Skin and Eastwood sound deadening added through its restoration.  It then benefitted from heat shielding as well.  It also benefits from the Ride Tech Shock Wave air suspension that can be controlled from its key fob.  Overall, the Cadillac is fast and powerful, yet incredibly smooth riding.

For more information and details, please call, text or email Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Cadillac is available for viewing in our Phoenix showroom.

HISTORY OF THIS CADILLAC.  Fate would have it in 1964 when Dennis Olson saw this Cadillac at a little gas station in rural Thompkins, Saskatchewan.  The Cadillacs transmission had failed and the owner, being desperate to get to Ontario, sold it to young Dennis for about $500 (paying for his bus fare and then some).  Being quite young and with limited resources, Dennis stored the Cadillac for the next 35 years.  The Cadillac had accumulated just about 30,000 miles from new.

In 1999, Dennis and his wife Rose commenced a complete, body off the frame restoration with Pride and Joy Restorations in Lethridge, Canada.  The restoration was comprehensive, being completed in 2000.  Pride and Joy Restorations brought the Cadillac down to bare metal and removed any areas of rust.  The Cadillac today is in gorgeous overall condition, but has been driven less than 500 miles since its restoration and could benefit from a minor servicing and normal detailing.  Dennis and Rose enjoyed the Cadillac at local events or trailered it to regional car shows.

EXTERIOR.  The livery is stunning in its Black paint with gorgeous chrome and stainless steel.  Most all of the chrome and stainless are in excellent condition with only a few smaller pieces showing a few minor defects.  The contrast between the Black paint and the chrome are spectacular, setting off the depth and luster of the paint.  There are very few touched up chips in the higher use areas.  We love the additional chrome accent that Dennis added highlighting the double bullet taillights on the rear fender, normally only found on the Eldorados.  The Black vinyl power convertible top is nearly as new and works well.  The wide white walled radials complement the car perfectly.  The fit of the body panels is very nice overall and the exterior is perfect for most all concours events.

INTERIOR.  The impressive interior is presented in burgundy and black.  The upholstery is burgundy vinyl with period correct burgundy and black woven inserts.  The convertible top boot is burgundy vinyl and in very nice condition.  The black loop carpeting appears new and complements the burgundy perfectly.  The dash is black with loads of chrome and stainless-steel panels and clusters.  The dash is in very nice condition with most of the chrome and stainless in very nice to excellent condition.  A few minor pieces show some wear or pitting.  The black and white two-tone steering wheel has a few very minor hairline cracks which can be easily repaired.  Overall, the interior is very nice and is presently perfect for touring or regional shows, or it can be easily upgraded to concours.

INSPECTION SUMMARY.  Because this Cadillac is not in our showroom, we completed a 158-point inspection and found that the clock was not functioning and the Autronic Eye was not connected.  All of the lights, instruments, power windows, power top, heater fan motor, power antenna and Wonderbar AM radio work well.  The windshield is nearly perfect with one small area of minor delamination near the drivers side corner. The passenger side front window glass has a very small crack.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT.  The engine compartment is in very nice overall condition.  The correct finishes were used for the restoration and its venerable 390 CID V-8 engine produces 325 hp and performs well with good power.  The engine number is not stamped on the block, so it is assumed to be a replacement rebuilt engine from the restoration.  This Cadillac features power steering, power brakes and an alternator replaces the generator.  Its four speed Hydramatic automatic transmission shifts well and the suspension and power brakes are responsive.  The engine compartment can benefit from light detailing for showing, but overall presents well and is correct.  The mufflers have been replaced with a deeper, throatier example and there is a minor exhaust leak.  The engine and transmission are well sealed and have little to no fluid leaks.

Overall, this is a wonderful opportunity to own one of the most iconic automobiles ever made.  With its present owner of 60 years offering it for sale for the first time and wearing a lovely, older restoration, we expect this Cadillac to sell quickly.  This can be enjoyed as it is now, or with a relatively small investment this can be upgraded to a concours ready example.  Either way, the new owner will be the beneficiary of six decades of love and dedication.

This Cadillac comes complete with a car cover, its spare wheel, jack, some spare parts, shop manual, receipts, and records as well as a wonderful photo of young Dennis with the Cadillac from about 1964 (with the Cadillac in its original Dunstan Blue Paint Code 26).

The Hagerty Value for a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is $182,000 for a No. 2 example and $119,000 for a No. 3 example.  We have this priced fairly for the Olson’s and the buyer as a 2- for its condition, low mileage and provenance.

For more information and details, please call or text Kendi Brown at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.  The 158-point inspection report is available on our website along with 150 photos and three videos.  This Cadillac is with its owners of 60 years outside of Calgary, Canada.  Dennis and Rose can help transport the Cadillac into the US or we can help arrange shipping worldwide.  We have financing partners if you wish to finance its purchase.

This 1963 Cadillac Series 62 convertible was refurbished around 2010 and has been repainted in Briar Rose over reupholstered black leather.
