Lot 125
 

1958 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

Sold for £15,188

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: 732 XUR
Chassis No: 58L098228
MOT: Exempt

  • Highly attractive light green colour scheme with complementary interior
  • Accompanied by a large history file including an original workshop manual
  • Imported into the UK in 1987
  • Only three UK keepers since importation

Updated for 1958 with a new grille and quad headlamps, the Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Sedan De Ville was powered by a 365 cu in (6.0 litre) V8 engine allied to three-speed automatic transmission. Overseen by the legendary Harley Earl, everything from the rubber guards on the front bumpers to the chrome caps on the rear wings was styled to the max.

Imported from Colorado in 1987, ‘732 XUR’ has had just three UK keepers over the past thirty-four years. Showing a credible but unwarranted 61,500 miles to its odometer, the Cadillac has benefited from an extensive brake overhaul within the last two years including the fitment of new brake shoes, master cylinders, front cylinders, brake servos and hoses. Finished in Light Green with White / Green upholstery, the Sedan de Ville does not want for road presence! A fabulous piece of Americana, the be-finned behemoth features such niceties as power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission and power windows (though, the power central locking is currently inoperative). Regularly MOT tested up until June 2019, the Series 62 is offered for sale with a large history file comprising the original workshop manual, Colorado State title document, numerous invoices / old MOTs and a quantity of spare parts.
