Registration No: BTL 51B Chassis No: 64F134545 MOT: ExemptHighly original and unmolested example, including what is believed to be its factory paintworkImported from the car-friendly climate of California in 2004Just one owner while in America and only 73, 000 milesTwo owners from new, having had just one further owner in the United KingdomIn the early 1960s, Cadillac’s models were confined to two main lines, the entry-level Series 62 and the slightly more luxurious De Ville series. Buyers wanting something even more special would have to splash out extra cash for the Series 60 Special Sedan, the glamorous, convertible-only Eldorado Biarritz, or the long-wheelbase, nine-passenger Series 75. For 1963, Cadillacs were restyled along somewhat slab-sided lines, while standard equipment included the Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, a heater, a remote-controlled door mirror, and reversing lights; all De Villes had power windows. Styling revisions for 1964 were minor, but some very notable updates included the introduction of the first De Ville convertible, and the enlargement of the old 390ci V8 to 429ci, giving 340bhp. Total Cadillac production for 1964 reached almost 166, 000, of which De Villes numbered 110, 379.Relatively few American classics survive in entirely unrestored condition, and fewer still have traceable ownership history, but this 1964 Cadillac is an exception. It appears in unrestored condition, wearing what is believed to be its original factory paintwork. The canvas top and the carpets are said to be original too, the floor mats are period-correct, and the vendor praises the dash top as “uncracked and perfect.” It even retains its jack and spare wheel with the original crossply tyre.The Cadillac owes its survival in such impressive condition to one careful owner, who kept it from new until 2004, when it was imported into Britain from Los Angeles, suggesting a lifetime in the kind climate of California. Since then, it has had just one British owner, who used the car until 2013 for summer outings only, before putting it into dry storage. The vendor notes, “In the time I used the car it was always 100 per cent. reliable. The only major work required was a new water pump in 2011 or ’12. The steering box requires seals and the seats would benefit from a limited number of small repairs.” Showing a believed-genuine 73, 000 miles, this is a truly special survivor for recommissioning with preservation class potential.
