Up for auction is a 1971 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood Limousine, equipped with a 500 cubic inch V8 engine and automatic transmission. Cadillac manufactured a mere 848 Series 75 limos in 1971, making this a rather unique vehicle. The Cadillac is owned by the AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a non-profit museum dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of transportation history. We recently took the car out of storage. It started right up with the installation of a charged battery and fresh gas. This limo is in decent overall condition and will make an easy restoration project for its new owner. It is offered with a reasonable opening bid and no reserve. The car is not for sale outside of eBay and the auction will not be ended early. All proceeds benefit the Museum. The limo was test driven around the Museum campus. It was not taken out on the open road. It starts, drives, shifts and stops with no obvious problems. The vehicle is equipped with power steering, power brakes, climate control air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, power windows, power door locks, interval windshield wipers/washer and left and right remote adjust mirrors. The rear compartment has a power glass division window, two folding jump seats, rear adjust climate control and radio. All power accessories, lights, etc. seem functional with the exception of the driver’s side power windows. We tried to check everything but this car has a lot of electronic and power equipment! The body is straight and the doors and panels have good fit/alignment. The paint has a low gloss and is thin and crazed on several panels. The car has very little rust, with the most noticeable spot being at the bottom of the right front door. The front features an aftermarket “Rolls Royce” type grill which is in good condition. The interior is complete and in good overall condition with some sun fading of the carpet as the only noteworthy flaw. The underside is also solid with no obvious damage. The specially-sized limo rated tires are Michelin XW-4 235/75R 15, which show almost complete tread. The Cadillac is accurately represented in the photographs but interested parties are encouraged to ask questions and/or schedule a personal inspection. This vehicle is offered as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. It has a valid Pennsylvania title which will be transferred to the new owner upon successful completion of the transaction. Shipping and transportation of the car will are the responsibility of the new owner. We will gladly work with you or the shipper/transporter of your choice to coordinate the move. The new owner will have two weeks from the completion of the auction to pick up the vehicle unless other arrangements are made in advance. The car is located at the AACA Museum, 161 Museum Drive, Hershey, PA 17033. Payment may be in the form of cash, money order, cashier’s check or PayPal.
