Old Cars We’d Buy That: 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood

One of 696 ’62 Cadillac Fleetwoods would look great in our garage.

Raleigh Classic Auctions always have a lot of sweet cars that we'd like to own. The Nov. 4-6 sale in Greensboro, N.C., will feature this spectacular monument to automotive excess — a '62 Cadillac Fleetwood. 

As the listing points out, it was one of only 696 built, which means you aren't going to see any other ones when you roll into your local Dairy Queen cruise night. This car is simply magnificent in every way, from its limousine dimensions to its long list of high-tech creature comforts, to its crazy (and dangerous-looking) tail fins.   

It will be fun to keep an eye on this one and see what the hammer price is. It's a very big car, and deserves to fetch a big price.
