The 1939 model year represents the pinnacle of pre-war American luxury craftsmanship, with this Series 75 Convertible Coupe built by Fleetwood. The 1939 Cadillac is recognized as a highly significant classic and commands respect among serious collectors for its engineering and design. The Cadillac was built on January 27, 1939, and originally shipped to Northwest Motor Co in Seattle, Washington.  Not only is this a rare collector’s piece but this particular Cadillac has had thousands of miles of touring through its history. Mr. John Milliken of Westlake Village completed the restoration in 1994 and showed the Cadillac at Pebble Beach Concours in 1994. in 2001, Mr. Rudolph Hemley, who was a co-owner, toured the Cadillac from California to Maine participate in a CCCA show. In 2003 the Cadillac was shipped to France and toured for two years through Europe. The current owner acquired the Cadillac in 2020 and has actively enjoyed it for both short and long-distance touring. In 2025, the current owner completed a CCCA mini caravan to Southern Arizona. This Cadillac is a proven long-distance tourer and multi-war winner with a presence heavily featured in the CCCA show and tour circuit. Truly a multifaceted proven classic that is ready for it’s next adventure.

This is a Maloney Coachbuilders, Inc. “double cut” private limo.  These are the most desired and top-of-the-line limo available.  Double cut is in reference to the coachbuilding engineering where the standard Brougham was cut twice.  One cut extends the wheelbase and the second cut sets the rear passenger seating much further in back, making for the most private sensation while seated in the rear seat.

This limo was ordered in full leather with two bench seats in the rear, both facing each other.  The seating area is replete with bars, crystal glasses and decanters.  The woodwork is gorgeous with in-laid veneers.  There is also halo lighting and accent lighting that is very elegant.  Of course there is a television and stereo system for the rear passengers.  The rear compartment has its own air conditioning system that has recently been fully serviced and works as new.  It also was ordered new with an auxiliary battery and a double radiator.

The limo has all original paint and vinyl top in the original white accented with red coach stripes.  The interior is the original red leather and luxurious plush carpeting.  The condition is nearly as-new throughout.  The only cosmetic defect is the white plastic trim around the rear license plate.  Otherwise we have seen no evidence of age or mileage.

The mechanicals are as you would expect from a privately owned, dealer maintained 33,000 miles Cadillac.  The car has tremendous power and drives beautifully.  The Vogue redials are new and add panache to the aesthetics.  The chrome Cadillac wheels are in excellent condition as well.

This limo was bought new at Marvin K Brown Cadillac in San Diego, CA.  It has had two private owners since new.  It comes complete with full documentation, manuals and receipts.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a privately owned and well loved Limo.  It is rare to find a private limo and even rarer to find it in white livery and with 33,000 miles.  This is fantastic!

The post 1990 Cadillac Limousine, Maloney Stretch, Like New, CA Car!! appeared first on Classic Promenade.

The ’59 Fleetwood incorporated special one year only and one model only, side trim panels and moldings that set it apart from any other car on the road and it looks Fabulous!  If you like the most popular color “Dover White” and you like to stand out in a crowd, this is the car for you!

Believed to be 61,563 original miles and recently purchased out of the estate of a gentleman who bought the car when it was less than a year old and kept it garaged and babied it its’ entire life and now it is ready for someone else to enjoy!

The Data Trim Tag reads as follows:     STYLE 59-6029         BODY  FW 5827         TRIM  60          PAINT  12          ACC.  EHKY           Body By Fleetwood

The VIN is:   59M051809

Odometer Reading:  61,563 (believed to be original)

The body is absolutely gorgeous and is as rock solid and rust free as you would expect a garaged and pampered car to be!  All the sheet metal appears to be original to this car and there is no sign of any prior accident history.  In the interest of full disclosure, it appears to have had a small repair at the lower rear corner of the rear quarter panels and there are a couple small spots in the rear of the trunk floor, but these in no way should affect the value and desirability of this classic Cadillac!  The underside is basically untouched original and while it has never been detailed for show, it is driver quality and what you see is what you’ve got!

This is absolutely a 99.9% rust free body!  There are no patches or replaced panels and no attempts to hide or cover anything up.   The body is straight as an arrow and all the body lines and gaps are even and in alignment!

The original color is probably the most popular; Dover White and it has had just one repaint since new.  It was a very nice paint job that was color sanded, buffed and polished to a high luster!  There is an occasional stone chip or door nick and a scuff on the right rocker panel, all associated with a car that has been driven and enjoyed!  The chrome bumpers and all the chrome and stainless trim are in beautiful original condition with high gloss and shine and minimal scuffs or marks.

The glass is all in nice condition with a few small stone chips on the windshield and one vent window.  The hubcaps are the proper and correct Eldorado hubcaps and they are in exceptionally sharp to beautiful condition!  The grills are clean and shiny and are in very sharp condition.  It still has all four original T-3 headlight bulbs still in place!   Upon close inspection, this car definitely has all the appearances of a garaged, pampered and properly cared for car its’ entire life!

The interior of this Classy Caddy is in virtually untouched original condition and still looks gorgeous for it’s age.  In fact, the car has had seat covers on it since new and they were just recently removed to reveal exceptionally beautiful original White leather and Black with Silver thread, fabric seats!  The foam in the rear seat cushions is still soft and cushy like the day it was built!  There is only one split in the bead on the driver’s bottom cushion.

The dash pad is original and other than a slight distortion in the pad, it is in exceptional condition!  The door panels and headliner are original and in very good condition with only a little fading.  The carpeting has a few small wear spots but still looks very sharp. The rear window package tray is in beautiful original condition!  The gauges are clean and bright and appear to work as they should.  The clock and horn need repair and I’ve never tried the Autronic Eye.   The cruise control is in place but not hooked up.  The power windows all work great as do the power vent windows and the power seat although one switch on the seat is acting up.

The air conditioning system is still intact and the belt is in place, indicating probably only a need for a shot of freon to make it all functional again!  I was told that the AC system was working just a few years ago.   The steering wheel is very nice and the horn ring is in perfect condition!  All the interior chrome is exceptional!  This is a super sharp original interior!  The trunk area has it’s original lining in addition to the added carpeting and it would definitely benefit from a new trunk liner eventually.

Mechanically, this is an exceptional running and driving car and it is a Blast to drive!  While I don’t know much about its’ specific history, it appears to have been well maintained and the engine runs smooth and quiet and has a lot of power.  The transmission shifts as it should and the dual exhaust system is in good condition .  The brakes stop fine and the rear end is quiet.  The tires are brand new L78x15 Wide White Wall tires.   This Cadillac is truly a pleasure to drive and should be able to be driven any place you want to go!  The odometer shows 61,563 and we believe this to be actual miles as stated on the title.

50’s and 60’s Cadillacs are some of the fastest appreciating and most desirable collector cars in the market today and the 1959 Cadillac with it’s distinctive and flamboyant fins is generally considered to be the Best of the Best!   The ‘Holy Grail” of Cadillacs!  It has great options!  It is in wonderful original condition!  It is a Great color combination and is ready for your summertime cruising enjoyment!  Email or call with any questions you might have and I can help with shipping quotes and arrangements.

The post 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood, One Owner 50 Years!, Survivor appeared first on Classic Promenade.

This ’59 Fleetwood in the Early 1960’s!!

This is a fabulous one-owner top-of-the-line Fleetwood that has accumulated 22,600 miles since new!   We have invested about 300 hours of hired shop time making this one of the very best original un-restored ’59’s in the World!!  The interior is truly as close to new as we’ve ever seen, the exterior is fabulous!  The car drives beautifully, as you would expect for a car with 22,600 miles.  This is a concours quality, all original, un-restored motorcar!

About this Fleetwood

This fine and elegant motorcar is very well optioned (as one would expect for a Fleetwood), including full power for the windows, air conditioning, etc..  It drives beautifully and we fully prepared the car for concours competition (as a Preservation Car, not restored) and touring.   This Motorcar comes with a full Certification and Warranty.  A full 50-point inspection was performed by an independent ASE Mechanic.  Review the certification and warranty details at: https://classiccars.com/certification/inspection-reports/cert-00070.pdf

This car retains its beautiful original acrylic lacquer Dover White paint (Paint Code 12) and gorgeous original grey wool broadcloth interior (Trim Code 71).  The original chrome and stainless is absolutely beautiful- nothing has been ever replated.  The paint and brightwork are nearly as-new and overall this is just drop dead gorgeous!  The original factory inspection and quality control markings are all over this fabulous motorcar.

This car has the Option Code of EHKMY, which include:

In addition to the options above this Fleetwood (Model 6029) included the following: Power Vent Windows (Code N, $73), Power Windows (Code X, $73), Whitewall Tires (Code W, $65), and Radio (Code R, $247).  As equipped, this Fleetwood retailed for about $7,800!!

This Cadillac has never had any rust or rot.  We have a photographic history of the undercarriage as we received it.  We have now completely cleaned and removed all surface dirt, grease and light surface rust and faithfully repainted the underside of the car exactly as it left the factory.  This is a labor of love for us, but it makes the car a spectacular showpiece and preserves it well for the next half-century.

We have performed mechanical improvements as necessary, including: five new tires, new exhaust system, new front wheel bearings and seals,new rear main seal, many new gaskets, new shocks, fully serviced the transmission, full tune-up, new fan belts, etc.  We also dropped the oil pan and cleaned the normal accumulated lead from the pan.  This car is a true time capsule and we wanted to make sure that it drive as well as it looks!   Many of the original components have been saved as historical references for future owners.

With the gorgeous wool broadcloth interior we cleaned every square inch with Woollite, not once but three times (headliner, seats, carpet, etc.).  It looks as new as any ’59 in the world that we know about!  We also spent a total of 15 hours cleaning the door jambs of all the accumulated oil that was used to lube the door hinges with over the past 50 years!  They look as new except for the original maintenance tags from the 1960’s and 1970’s that are faithfully preserved.

The History of this Fleetwood

This 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood was bought new by Jonathan Finger of St. Louis, Missouri on November 6, 1959 for the huge sum of $5,995 (retail was about $7,800).  Interestingly, the VIN for this elegant motorcar is 59M129999.  The Fleetwood Body Number is 12041, which makes it a later body for 1959.

Mr. Finger paid the car off over the subsequent five years.  The car was used sparingly.  It was mainly used for trips to Memphis from St Louis to visit family.  But by 1973, Mr. Finger was getting older and on a trip to Memphis had great difficulty staying awake.  This scared him and thus led him to place the car into long-term storage.  It travelled about 1,250 miles over the subsequent 27 years.

Maintenance records show that by 1962 the car had amassed 7,407 miles, by 1967 it had 15,627 miles and in 1972 it had 21,157 miles.  After 1973 it was no longer on the roads being used.  It now has accumulated 22,400 total miles since new.   This motorcar has the preferable standard suspension configuration.

Mr. Finger was a wonderful and kind man.  He was hard working man working for Associated Dredge for 30 years.  He was also an entrepreneur and had other activities including real estate and was an active in community associations such as “Victims in Crime” where he was the President of his block unit.  The car was ultimately inherited by his adopted son, London Brown, a 20 year veteran Detective of the St. Louis Police Department.

In the world of automotive design, few people will disagree that Cadillacs from the 1959 model year were the epitome of flair, chrome, fins, and a style that has never been duplicated in a production model. When you drove one of these top-line cars from General Motors, there was no mistaking it for a lesser car.

Offered in just one body style, a six-window four-door pillarless hardtop, the body’s smooth lines were decorated with an abundance of chrome trim, faux air scoops, and plenty of gadgets and toys to keep even the most advanced engineering students of the day in awe of the technology being put on wheels.

The Fleetwood was also known as the Sixty Special and there were a mere 12,250 produced in 1959.  This fabulous motorcar weights about 4,900 pounds (2,220 kg) on a wheelbase of 130.0 in. (3,302mm).   It’s iconic overhead valve 390 cu in (6.4 liter) V-8 produced about 325 HP and 480 ft lbs of torque with the three-speed hydromatic transmission.

This is a very rare and elegant motorcar.  Rarer still is it to find one in spectacular original condition, as a one owner car with only 22,400 miles since new.  This is an important car to add to any serious collection and will prove to be a tremendous investment and enjoyable classic!  More details, photos and video will be forthcoming as we complete the re-commissioning.

A relatively recent comparable sale is a 30,000+ mile multi-owner grey colored Fleetwood sold at the 2007 London RM Auction for $97,644 (the exchange rate in 2007 made this comp more expensive in dollars).  We believe it is unlikely that the RM sale car was in better condition than ours and it regrettably had the air suspension option.  You can see particulars of this RM sale car at: http://www.rmauctions.com/CarDetails.cfm?SaleCode=LF07&CarID=r123&Currency=US

The post 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood, One Owner, Best Original Extant? appeared first on Classic Promenade.

This gorgeous Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy Five nine passenger limousine without division (sedan) is a genuine survivor, with 20,200 original miles.  We cannot find any evidence of any restoration work ever performed on this fabulous motorcar.  It is all original, just as it was custom ordered from its original owner from new.

The black paint has a mirror finish and the chrome is as new.  This motorcar appears never to have seen the elements.  The gorgeous and elegant brocade upholstery is also like new, with the embroidery in perfect condition.  The carpets, headliner, wood, etc. are all as new. It appears to be well optioned with all the normal power accessories.

The 1966 Cadillac Series 75 nine passenger sedan was model number 66-697, style number 69723-R.  Its price started at a significant $10,312 and only 980 were produced.  This motorcar weights 2,418 kg and is powered by the rock solid 7 liter (340hp) V-8 engine, providing ample performance for any situation.  The wheelbase is 149.8in (3,805mm) and the overall length is over 20 feet (6,210mm) which help to create one of the smoothest riding cars ever produced.

The 1966 Series 75 was completely restyled.  The 1965 Series 75 maintained a 1950’s appearance and was significantly outdated.  By 1966 the styling cues were trend setting and continued the foundation for styling well into the early 1970’s.

This motorcar came to us as a trade-in on a beautiful 1959 Lincoln Mark IV convertible.  The owner had recently bought this car out of the Sterling McCall Museum, located in Texas.  You can read more about this collection of over 100 fine Cadillac’s at www. sterlingmccallmuseum.org.  We were told that this elegant motorcar was exhibited in the museum for the past 30 years.  This would explain the very low mileage and outstanding condition.  It was in the museum from the 1980’s until 2009.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NchkUrZCjNg[/youtube]Earlier history appears to be from Indiana and Illinois.  In 1983, this motorcar received a full service from the historic service station, the LaGrange & Ogden 66.  This is part of famous route 66 and is known as being one of the last full service station where the fuel is still provided for you while you wait meditatively in your motorcar.  A major service was performed at this service station on May 5 (cinco de mayo for us in California) of 1983.  The Cadillac had 18,400 miles registered at that time. The original owner of this elegant motorcar is believed to be John D. Fischer from Logansport, Indiana.  Mr. Fischer is a conservative man who through his career showed his dedication to his community and provided funeral services for many decades.  We are still awaiting confirmation of the early history.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jjRDlWPUgc[/youtube]We have fully serviced the car and verified that all systems are presently operating as new.  There are only a few paint chips and light scratches to prove that this is all original.  The only mechanical failure is a seal in the rear air conditioning that needs to be replaced (the front air conditioning works beautifully).  We are pleased to perform this repair, or not.  California is not an air conditioning repair-friendly location, but it is a very simple repair.

This motorcar is one that cannot be replicated.  We are excited to have this in our inventory and hope to have this long enough to take a group of our friends for a wine tasting tour through Temecula Wine Country!!  That is what this beautiful motorcar is all about!!  Please call 602.245.7200 or email us with any questions.  But hurry, this wont last long!
