1985 Cadillac Seville 60" Custom Stretch Limousine
Extremely rare, 1-of-1, stretched by Limousine Werks in 1991. This car has significant coachbuilder upgrades as it was a custom ordered limousine and the build sheet was made specifically for the original owner's request for his personal use.
The car has 116,000 miles, even less on the motor (see below), which is low for a 32 year old vehicle...that averages about 3,625 miles per year, which is about right for a privately chauffeured limousine owned by a business executive for personal use. I am the second owner. Most mid-80's limousines were 48, 54, or 56 inch stretches and this was done in 1991 when a 60" stretch was the new standard providing substantially improved leg room.
Preserve a piece of history, they only made the Seville slantback or bustleback from 1980-1985.
The car comes with original Cadillac dealer window sticker and Limousine Werks build sheet, including the business card from the salesman at Limousine Werks, and full build receipt for cost of stretching the car, which was $33,509.02 back in 1991. The engine was factory warranty replaced at 54,407 miles in March, 1993 at authorized Cadillac dealership Weil Cadillac in Libertyville, Illinois and I have full receipts for that engine swap. This limousine comes with extensive paperwork, including original paperwork from SkyTop Sunroofs Ltd., Magnavox for the original television and the original dual antennae on the trunk. This limousine was a private limousine for a prominent business executive in Chicago, Illinois and even has a letter from Mayor Richard Daley expressing sorrow to the owner's family when he passed away. I purchased the limousine from his estate.
Included in the sale is the original crystalware in excellent condition (4 glasses 2 decanters, 2 coffee cups all original from the coachbuilder) a custom hinged box in the trunk, throw pillows and an extremely rare Limousine Werks keychain, 2 sets of keys, and original owner's manuals, 1985 Cadillac Seville Dealer Service Manual, and a rare 1985 Seville body manual.
This car was custom ordered and the interior was designed for the owner who regularly conducted business in the passenger compartment. It is truly a ONE OF ONE interior designed specifically for the owner. This limousine was not made to haul many passengers, it was custom designed to have 4 executives in a caucus room on wheels.
This limousine is a true time capsule. Original paint, original padded roof in mint condition, original mechanicals and original interior. It even has the original front floor mats, which show some wear, but is the first limousine I have seen this old with original factory floor mats. Sunroof, privacy partition, hands free intercom, front and rear stereo, lighted bar, lighted storage compartment, lighted controls, power locks, reading lights, rear lighted ceiling vanity mirrors, halo lighting (on a dimmer switch), soft green factory mood lighting, power windows and original television with VHS on an electric telescopic antennae AND ALL WORK PERFECTLY. Starts, drives, shifts, brakes, and steers beautifully! Just like a Cadillac should.
PLEASE NOTE: The only thing that needs repair is the R-134 air conditioning.
The paint is a 3 stage metallic charcoal gray paint with lots of metallic and is original from the coachbuilder from 1991. It has a custom C&C chrome grill with the vertical chrome bars. It also has the flying angel chrome hood ornament and a very rare chromed ornament on the grill. The car has BRAND NEW dual batteries. The auxiliary is a button operated back-up battery. This car has had a new windshield, whitewall tires, stainless exhaust system, batteries, and radiator. It has the HT4100 engine and the transmission was recently completely rebuilt. We have all the paperwork and receipts for the transmission rebuild. The only aftermarket item we added was a stereo in the driver's compartment to have bluetooth, etc. We installed this in the glovebox to maintain an absolute original look as this car deserves to be kept all original.
This limousine is an excellent limousine for somebody that wants something unique in their collection, a Cadillac collector or for a museum. This car is in a private collection and is parked in a climate controlled showroom. The car is not perfect, it is 30+ years old, and does show normal wear, but you will not find a nicer Seville stretch for sale. If somebody were wanting to restore it to a 100-Point Concourse show quality car, this would be the perfect example to start with as it is all original and in very good/clean condition.
This limousine has been in numerous car shows and most recently the Fountain Hills Concourse in the Hills Car Show - February 2018. These pictures of the car were taken January 2018. We prefer not to sell this limousine if the buyer intends to use it in a vintage limousine service, as it is simply too nice of a limousine to be ruined in a livery company. Please bid if you have a desire to own a piece of history. It is truly a rare vehicle and collector limousine. Research/Google past Seville Limousines that have sold recently and you will learn that these are extremely rare limousines and the ones that have sold are either not original or they are in junkyards. That is why if the buyer intends to modify this or destroy in a livery service, I would prefer just to keep this car in my collection. I am a member of the local and national Cadillac Club I truly want this car be preserved.
Serious bidders only and please know that WE WILL NOT ENTERTAIN BIDS FROM BIDDERS WITHOUT EXCELLENT HISTORY! I won't even respond to questions or look at bids from buyers with poor feedback history, feel free to hold me to the same standard!

Sold as is, where is, with no written or implied warranty. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer, however we will assist with shipping in terms of being here when it is picked up and making sure it is properly loaded (as well as sending pictures of the car loaded and transport company for the buyer). You can hire any normal auto transport company to ship this vehicle as it is not a super stretch limousine. There may be a slightly higher fee, but not substantial. When it was shipped to Arizona, we were not charged any more than a standard 4-door Cadillac.

PLEASE NOTE MILEAGE DISCREPANCY:

There is a mileage discrepancy from 11/29/2005 on the vehicle report.

• It was recorded as 99k miles on 1/22/2002
• 122k miles on 11/29/2005
• 113k miles when I bought it on 10/6/2010
• 116k miles on it today in my garage and we believe this to be an accurate recording.

The odometer has read accurate since I have owned the car and it is pretty unlikely that the previous owner, whose estate sold multiple cars, boats, and an airplane would have put 91,000 miles on it in the 5 years before I bought it as it had to be retrieved from storage since the previous owner passed away in 2008. The only explanation is that the emissions station incorrectly recorded the mileage in 2005. The odometer only reads to 99,xxx miles and then flips and can be hard to read without a direct bright light. Clearly, the only explanation is a recording error.
