Description
You are looking at a rare one of five custom-built station wagons Cadillac commissioned for use in transporting VIPs, corporate guests and executives to and from the Indianapolis 500 race in 1969 After the race, all five were sold through a Cadillac dealer in Dallas, Texas 472 CID V-8 engine (375 hp) Turbo Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission British Racing Green exterior with simulated alligator leather seats Air-conditioning Power brakes, power steering, automatic climate control, AM-FM radio, power windows, power seat, electric side mirror Rear fender skirts
You've seen them before serving as ambulances and hearses, you've even seen one on the big screen in the "Ghostbusters" movies but we have an extremely rare (1 of 5), actual Cadillac C-body four-door hardtop station wagon here at, Texas best Used Motorcycles, have you ever even seen one?
Dressed in British Racing Green, the paint is in good shape but some minor blemishes are visible upon close inspection, most notably some crazing of the paint from age. The glass panels are intact and clear and the lights are in very good condition. All of the body panels are straight and wagon rolls on Coker red line radial tires mounted on chrome torque thrust wheels.
Inside, the factory split bench and rear seats have been trimmed in simulated alligator leather, which are in very good shape and which emit a period-specific vibe. Otherwise, the interior appears original. The carpet, headliner, dashboard and two-spoke steering are all in good shape but the dash has a crack on the driver's side near the A-pillar. The door panels are in original shape with wear, the mirrors and gear shift lever are in decent shape. Driver assist features include power steering, power brakes, power windows, power front seat and cruise control. Completing the interior is an AM/FM radio.
Starting from the standard Cadillac Sedan DeVille 4-door hardtop, the coachbuilder - whose identity is today unknown - used primarily production GM parts in the conversion, creating a roomy, comfortable and luxurious yet still practical station wagon with Cadillac quality. Its nearly unique styling stands out in any gathering of modern cars. After serving their intended purpose of providing the highest standards of corporate hospitality at Indianapolis, all five Cadillac DeVille Station Wagons were sold through a Cadillac dealer in Dallas, Texas. This one ended up in Vallejo, California.
This example received a restoration in 1998 to meet the standards of a demanding owner. Not only was it restored mechanically it also was refinished in British Racing Green. The grille was replaced with a 1970, which the owner preferred to the 1969 style. All mechanical work has been done to factory specifications.
Factory-authorized limited production cars from the 1960s are highly desirable and make great additions to discerning collections.
