This particular 1953 Cadillac Series Sixty Special may well be the most original example in the world today. It has been a part of three major collections over its lifetime. It will be available soon on Bring a Trailer​
As noted in previous auction descriptions, this 1953 Cadillac was originally sold in Bridgeport, CT. It was apparently purchased by a James King in Bridgeport, before later being acquired by the local Packard dealership. They kept this car as a competitive example for many years until it was put in long term storage.
This Cadillac Fleetwood would then find its way into the hands of the renowned collector Charles Cawley, founder of MBNA bank. With an example of virtually every American car from the 1950's & 60's, he was particularly looking for very original cars, preferable in black. This Series Sixty remained in his collection until 2008 and just under 7000 miles.
After that, the Cadillac would later be acquired by noted Texas collector Paul Andrews. Who kept it for many years. He would add almost 1700 miles to the Fleetwood during his stewardship. A few years ago this car found its way into its third collection, in Northern California.
During its entire life, this 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood Series Sixty has been kept in turn key condition by private collection mechanics. It is extremely original and now has just over 9000 miles on the clock. The upholstery has been protected since the very beginning with plastic slip covers. This Cadillac remains in amazingly original shape and even includes an oil change sticker with only 1005 miles noted and one from 1969 in Bridgeport with 5560 miles.
This is a very rare opportunity to acquire such an original and low mileage Cadillac entering its 70th year!
