That's the real thing. I was half expecting to see a B-body wagon with Cadillac hood, fenders and doors fitted, but this thing has the Fleetwood 133 inch wheelbase and room for footrests. What a magnificent beast!
We couldn't agree more!
By the loud sounds coming out of the engine compartment, betcha if you buy this Caddy, and purchased the extended warranty - nothing that's making the car squak and squeak like a banshee will be covered under ANY warranty on earth.
For me, during 40 years (from the thirties to the seventies), car was really THE art of American. This masterpiece is one of its last exemples. Thanks for showing her. 😘
Oh my. If I could afford this mighty land yacht I would love to roll across the country from sea to shining sea. Beautiful Beast.
I am not usually a Cadillac guy but I love station wagons and this is a beauty- ...... I mean that color is fantastic !!!!!!
When I was seven years old my Dad took me to Manhattan to the New York Auto Show and we saw Cadillac station wagons there. This would have been 1969 or 1970. I may have seen this car brand new. There were several of them there.
-at the time we thought a Cadillac station wagon was kind of a wild idea. Suffice it to say, they looked a lot like the last ride most of us will ever take! (-and someone ELSE will be driving!)
Of course in our times Cadillacs include all wheel drive light trucks (Even if we call them "sport utility vehicles"!). I have seen with my own eyes a vehicle with a Cadillac crest on the grille and a snowplow mounted up front! They make the idea of a Cadillac wagon seem kind of tame!
That’s a very well done conversion. I had a neighbor with a 1973 Eldorado wagon conversion years back.
It’s catastrophic!😂😂😂
This is an amazing car. I didn't even know Cadillac made such a car and with a monster tourqe engine like that, wow.
It's the USS Land Titanic.
The body is an aftermarket conversion.
The Titanic sank 4 days into her maiden voyage. This Cadillac has been around for 52 years and counting.
Only it won't sink!😆😆😆
@@jamesmcinnis208 So it's more like the Olympic, twin sister to Titanic, which gave twenty-five years of service. Which was phenomenal for one of those old steam ships.
Wanna be hearse 🧐
Ashtray in the third row, naturally, so the kids could smoke.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of course they smoke. We just don't want them to put their ashes on the carpet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha When i Was a kid there was so much smoke from the adults up front i was essentialy smoking anyway
That’s why kids were so respectful back then.🚬
That's a beautiful wagon!
My favorite grill of all Cadillac grills!
It resonates with my soul (and growing up in the 60s and 70s...) 💝
Engine bay needs its own zip code it's so big. Wow
Spring Break 1981, we drove this road monster from Oklahoma City to South Padre Island and back. It's was the perfect blend of V8 horsepower, silky comfort, and plenty of room for six guys and their gear.
Slumming it with a 10 year old car!
Used to have the gold convertible version of this. Just loved that car. was a blast to drive.
My Dad owned 3 service stations back in the 60s would say: "Passes everything but the gas station."
My dad used to drive 98 Oldsmobiles with that same humongous engine!!!!
Beautiful timeless classic. The world sucks now
Man...this thing is like a tricked-out, hot- rod hearse! Frickin' love it, I'll take one.
Imagine pulling up in that 1970. You were a boss for sure
True - could be a boss car. But no so very far from others. In those years most american cars had that pulling character. Remember I was oncein USA and taken as passenger in Buick in 1972 I did not even ask the model - I was so amazed that no matter -- look, size finishing mattered
Mob Bosd.
@@Mikexception This 1970 Fleetwood Brougham Wagon would have been about 8” longer than Buick’s Biggest Estate Wagon in 1972.
Elvis had one! Love it, just beautiful. If had room for it, I'd be calling you.
3:52 I don't think any door-closing sounds get more solid than that!
Mercedes all the time!
Didn't know these even exist until I seen that Elvis had one back in his day, wish I could have this one right here..its freakin AWESOME
I just love classic station wagons.
Buy that sucker and you'd be pretty safe in assuming you had the only one on your block..... or town or county or state, for that matter.
Yes, you would be safe alright. The rest are in the junkyard where they belong.
@@MarkGuinn59 Hablo serio jovencito
@@MarkGuinn59 I hear your mom is working out of the back of one of them...in the junkyard.
@@johnlockesghost5592 Have you ever tasted a sweeter peter than mine?
@@Papa-o33963the car is sweet. ignore the troll.
Now, this is a real automobile. I love it.
You could actually live in this car and no one would judge you.
Despite its size, I guess the bathroom situation still leaves a lot to be desired.
Now... it is very(!) far from every day that my pulse rises from the sight of an American car. Very VERY far, actually.
But, this... Bloody Nora, man! What a cool estate car! I absolutely LOVE cool estates, and this goes straight into my top-ten. If not top-five... This is right up there with the Mercedes W123, it really is.
What a beautiful wagon!!!
A WORK OF CAR ART!!
PHENOMENAL CADY 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful wagon! That thing must be one hell of a smooth ride.
Having had a Fleetwood Brougham, I can tell you it's like a magic carpet. You can't even feel it when those Japanese econo-bubbles rear end you.😆
Wow! That is a true “landyatch” wagon! Beautiful from A to Z 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙
WANT!!! What a beauty!!!
At 8 miles per every 5 dollar a gallon, it’s a steal! 👍🏻
Man that is so beautiful, it would be perfect in my driveway 🇦🇺👍
The OG Statesman.
I don't know why I got this as a recommendation, but that's a nice, HUGE vehicle. 🐋💙 I like the dark blue paint and interior.
The only Cadillac's I ever seen this size were Hearst ! . what a beauty . It does appear to have been painted at some point .
Hearse...
Eliminate the 2nd and 3rd row seats, put some curtains on the side windows, paint it black and its a hearse. That's why the tailgate opens to the side, makes it easy to load the casket .
I'm not a Caddy fan, but this wagon is something special that even I would own. GM should have made these.
My father, Jim Stephenson, is probably who built that car, but it wasn't GM he worked for. The ones he built were made in Detroit though and sold at dealerships if I recall correctly.
I was only 10 years old in 1969 when he moved to Detroit to build custom Cadillac Station Wagons there and I didn't live with him then but my older brother, Jim Jr., did live with him there for awhile when he was making those. They only made them for about a year though because he moved to LA to run George Barris's shop around late `70 - mid `71 and I moved to Hollywood to live with him in the Summer of `73 and went to work there too. I never saw one of them myself though, so I can't say for sure if that is one of those he built, but I can say the odds are pretty good it is.
This is the kind of car Elvis and I luv!!!!!
Early escalade 😂
Used to be a FLEETWOOD hearse driving round West London in the 80s. Beautiful with silver urns on
roof
That's gorgeous. The Bradys would have loved this wagon.
Couldn't agree more!
If only I had an extra $37K laying around...I'd love to have this thing!
Oh boy a Fleetwood wagon! 💙😈👍
this car is timeless and unique. NOTHING like it on the road today. i would upgrade the brakes and suspension and possibly the engine a little bit for more power and better acceleration. $36,900 is ok for something this unique that will always have collector value.
It already has good riding suspension with automatic load leveling. It also has Disc Brakes on the front. And it develops over 375 hp. Can’t see why you would want more.
@@whammond511 375 horse moving how much weight? i would put the car on the road and see how it performs and go from there. i would not want to deal with excess body roll going around corners or with lines of cars behind me on a one lane road.
if the car performs ok then i would not change it.
Beautiful! It won't fit in my garage, but I'm happy with my super rare 2012 Cadillac CTS4 Awd Ltd Luxury Edition Sportwagon.
The exhaust sounds great. Should be dual, though.
Goodness knows whats hiding under the vinyl roof at the rear....But I like it all the same😍
No bubbling evident in the pics so probably just the roof.
Now that’s what I call unique and I mean unique in capital letters UNIQUE. What an awesome addition to a collection if i had the proper funds,room and space if i had for that awesome Luxurious Luxury Land Liner,Luxury Land Cruiser or Luxury Land Yacht. Now that’s what I call all cool in the Gang 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Fleetwood WAH GOON. Amazing.
I know it's Cadillac, but look closely at all the pillars: A [Windshield] through D [Tailgate] and you'll see that all of them are directly from [styling] from the Buick Estate Wagon. I recognize them because I owned a 1971 Buick Estate Wagon. Which would make sense since they would be basically the same primary body, with only the front, fenders and rear being dramatically different.
Sounds like your '71 Buick took many of the styling ques directly from the '70 Cadillac Fleetwood Astro Wagon...which would make sense because 1970 came before 1971. In addition, Cadillac was usually the brand that received all the latest & greatest, in design trends, safety equipment, amenities & technology from GM, before they passed it on to the other brands, & eventually becoming standard equipment across the board.
However the Buick Estate Wagon was a standard dealer lot mass production run this eta...where the Caddy wagons were special coach fitter runs for ambulances, hearse and these special customer deliveries.
I would lean toward the 70 caddy taking things from the Buick pile to alter the std Fleetwood long trunk sedan....unless the BES didn't produce till 71...I'll look that up.
Beautiful cars both
@@STho205 you do have a point there. ...I just get so sick of people always saying oh the Cadillac El Dorado is just a Oldsmobile Tornado or a Buick Riviera with different emblems & grill, etc
And unless you worked at GM, it's pretty tough for someone to reliably say which brand originally created any given platform that the other 2 or 3 shared ....but for some reason, it's never the Regency 98, or the Electrira 224 or 455 is just a Sedan or Coupe DeVille rebaged.
@@smf2072 i did look last week and the 70s era Buick Estate Wagon did begin production in Summer 1969 for the 70 model year. Were these molds available in 70 for a caddy coach specialist...yes. did they perfect the prototype in the custom hearse, ambulance shop or just find a matching part at Buick....still don't know.
Buick was the full run production line for that cargo bed area already when this one was put together. If there are earlier Caddies...then that might reverse a best guess...but my current guess is the part came from the Buick division as it is not an integrated style to the caddy tail, but blended in.
@@smf2072 Huh?
*455* was never any model no. or name --- that's just the designation of the Largest V-8 size of Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick. Chevy was 454. Cadillac came out with a 500 cu in in early 70s.
God I wish I would have the money. When we moved to America, I fell in love with those big cars. One day ....
I so LOVE this car!🥰😍🤩 First one I would buy after winning the Lottery! 😅
Appears to be missing the optional coffin.☠
LOL. I can imagine the guys at the converting shop when you call to place your order and they ask "livin' or dead?"
@DucknCoverin Agree!! If this was used by a Funeral Home at all I suspect the Funeral Director used it as his Company Car. No one would normally choose this Chassis to make a Wagon for business use.
Absolutely gorgeous. Love this car !!!
Imaginação, sem limites.
Carro incrível.
Brougham and the bandit lol 😆
Now that is what I would call " a proper shooting break "
Very cool looking wagon. As someone who uses a wagon constantly, putting speakers into the tail gate bed is a very bad place. Not that this car would ever carry a full sheet or more of plywood, but those speakers are in a terrible place if you want to slide things into the back. A wagon this size has more bed length than many pick up trucks. If you had to carry 10 to 16 foot long boards, that tail gate makes it possible.
An Incredibly Beauuutiful Car!💕
I had no idea this was a thing. 🤔
Super cool wagon👍
....lo reitero....solo me martirizan con estás preciocidades,me conformo con ver sus videos, aunque me atormentan al no poder tener yo un coche así de precioso,al menos me conformo con verlos.....saludos y bendiciones desde el primer municipio de la América continental, La Antigua Veracruz México.
Regards to you from the 2nd oldest City in the Continental USA; St Ignace, Michigan!
Wow - the rear end graft in the roof area looks horrible. I swear I've seen these with what appears to be an Olds wagon rear end and no vinyl roof and it looked amazingly factory done - but this one...oofta.
@MeanMrMustardMarkIV I agree where they grated on the roof section looks a bit amateur maybe.
And yes, this car has a '67-'70 Buick/Pontiac/Chev roof from the C post back including tailgate.
Looks like the bottoms of the rear qtr panels have been given extra height on the bottom.
The vinyl top and belt-line vinyl treatment is weird too, but likely original?
That is a beautiful car.
Love this ride. God bless America 🇺🇸
i'd love to have one because as a drummer it looks like a friendly travel for drummers like myself :P
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
I'm a Soundman.
You could fit an entire modern P.A. and lightshow in that mofo.
🙂✌️❤
Q: "How does it drive?"
A: "It does not drive, it does however, glide!"
Very rare piece of automotive history for sure and gorgeous and unique.
Man this is soooo cool! I want it so bad!! I love Cadillacs and station wagons! Combining both into one is my dream! I’ll never get to own a cts v wagon or this though. So I’ll maybe just keep my 69 deville and my 05 deville and my 05 sts and my 14 ats….
Bwahahaha!! You could sell 2 or 3 of those and then you could get this one.
THIS is bloody fantastic!!! I absolutely love it. What an odd duck! (But in the BEST way!) - Keith
My dream car, to bad it's to much money for me. I've owned 3 1973 Coupe deVilles in the last 30 years. Those years Caddys are awesome, power and comfort.
One of our neighbors in Florids had a car exactally like this one in the like 1978. Their last name was Bender and they bought this exact car when they lived in Ohio.
Was it new in ‘78?
It's definitely an awesome car and would be really cool if you jacked it up like a truck put some newer style suspension and stuff. But for that much money that's insane this thing's maybe worth 12 Grand at best and that's really pushing it. I'm betting nobody's going through that motor or transmission and the electrical system there's a lot of things on those that you got to be really careful with especially seals and gaskets but so yeah it's definitely a badass whip but the price is an astronomically ridiculous number
This looks like about the same size as the US Navy ambulances we had in the early 70s, Pontiac, Olds, but not Cadillac. They were huge and powerful, but wouldn't be practical today.
I had a Ford LTD company car in 1975; also huge and very smooth ride; maybe a bit rolly-polly on the curves.😄😎
Ultra rare
What a beauty!
I use to have the same engine/trans combo in a 1970 Coupe DeVille I use to own.
You can be in two different zip codes depending on where you are in the car
enough waves down the sides to surf down it, but kinda cool in its own way
That car looks 👌 awesome.
Ready for a road trip. going to visit gas stations across America in style. However I would love to have it.
Awesome caddie wagon, if I ever get a chance to buy a 74-76 caddie wagon or possibly even a 71-73 I will . Although the 69 and 70 are the fugly twins I'd own her because she's a wagon. I prefer the 74 caddie fleetwoeod ,CDV and SDV over any year made the 74-76 are beautiful unmatched and to me not even a 59 is half as good looking
Precioso y Bellísimo. From Barcelona ( Spain)
Wow! Sweeet Cadillac! 💯🔥🎯😘
I need this to haul my lunch to work.
Superwagon! Better even than the Ghost Busters Caddy Ambulance.
This Cadillac is one of my favorites just because they never made one and it's my favorite year and engine as well buitiful car
When the coach company did the station wagon conversion did they bother to beef up the brakes and the suspension system for the added weight?
Omg- simply beautiful. THAT'S a car
Cool car. The clamshell conversions were epic
I used to own and drive 1970 Cadillacs, in the mid 80's l had five of the them.
A different color & style for everyday of the week. Back then young people didn't want them . I bought each one under a tb
Under a 1000?? Each .l had the Coupe the Sedan de'ville
The Fleetwood, & Convertible & the :
And the best Eldorado Convertible you could have ever imagined. They were fun to drive. I lived in Dallas
Tx. At that time. What fun to drive and pick up friends
And go to the beach. I enjoy watch your video posts keep them coming especially about these older
GM Cadillac.
Was the vinal roof original? It looks to be missing chrome trim between the rear windows and the tailgate(?)
What a beauty.
I LOVE IT! I just wish I had the 747 jet hangar that would be big enough for it.
Absolutely 💯 BEAUTIFUL 👌 😍 🤩 ❤️
A MASTERPIECE! SO BEAUTIFUL
What a badass business.
This would be an awesome upgrade for the Ecto 1 in a new Ghostbusters movie or TV series!!👍👍😎😎
I actually kind of want to find one of these that needs restoration, and update some of the components to make the parts hunt easier. LS engine, vintage air heat and air, that kind of stuff. This one should be left alone, but if I found one that needed the work, it would be custom.
Plenty of parts for the 472s... No need to go LS. Can't beat the low end torque of a 472!
Yes, your average LS would be a piece of junk compared to this 472. At 10.5 Compression it had more torque and horsepower than its counterpart in just 1972. This one has virtually no pollution equipment and is prior to the detuning they did in an effort to meet emissions standards.
That Cadillac wagon is sweet it's also was made the same year I was born I don't have the money for it that is a sweet rare Cadillac
You can tell it has a rear roof section & tailgate from a '67-'70 Buick/Pontiac/Chev wagon.
