Side cornering lights, fender signal indicators, and a longer hood covering the windshield wipers were welcome improvements along with a bigger, brawnier power plant. Offered here is an elegant 1968 Grecian white example, distinctive for its lack of vinyl roof and for its considerable option list which includes cruise control, twilight sentinel, shoulder belts, automatic climate control, leather seating, front disc brakes, AM-FM stereo radio, rear quarter power “ventipanes”, power seats with six-way front, power door locks, and rosewood door trim. Standard equipment is the monstrous 471.7 cu in/7729 cc OHV V-8 engine making 375 horsepower @ 4400 rpm and 525 lb-ft of torque @ 3000 rpm, with 3-speed automatic drivetrain, front wheel drive, and four-barrel Rochester carburetion. This car, maintained in excellent condition, drives beautifully with wonderful road manners and comfortable ride characteristics. It is a smooth operator, a time warp experience to be treasured. Included in the sale are repair receipts dating from 1990 through its last three California owners. Not much is known about “the Ulrich’s”, for whom the car was personalized by Cadillac with a placque on the front dashboard when new. But the car has vintage CA license plates from the era, indicating it has spent most of its life in a nice, rust-free environment. While the car shows its age in some areas (see pictures), generally its condition is very nice for a 45-year-old vintage coupe.The rosewood trim shows some rippling and signs of age, as well as exterior light lenses exibiting minor cracks and/or fogging. Everything functions with the exception of the electric clock. Currently the air conditioning does not “blow cold” and needs recharging. The car comes with an owner’s manual, a spare tire, jack and lug wrench.
