Real Barn Find: 1970s Cadillac Fleetwood – Rare Factory Air Cushion Option – Stunning Original Condition

You are bidding on a true barn find—an incredibly rare, two-owner Cadillac Fleetwood featuring the factory Air Cushion Restraint System (driver and passenger airbags). I rescued this car from a warehouse in Baltimore, MD, where it had been stored and lovingly owned by the same person for the last 50+ years.

This Fleetwood is in remarkable original condition. It still retains most of its original paint, leather interior, headliner, trunk carpet—even the original floor mats. The car has been driven less than 2,000 miles per year on average, and it shows.

Rare Factory Air Cushion System

This Cadillac is one of the very few vehicles equipped with GM’s pioneering factory airbag system, offered only for a limited 3-year period. This rare option, also called the "Air Cushion Restraint System," required redesigns like moving the glove box under the dash to accommodate the passenger-side airbag. It’s believed fewer than 500 units were ever ordered with this option—how many survive today?

This vehicle may have even served as a factory demonstrator, loaded with high-end options including:

  • Factory A/C

  • Power leather seats

  • Tilt and telescopic steering wheel

  • Cruise control

  • Much more...

Documentation & History

The car comes with an impressive paper trail dating back to 1980, including:

  • Purchase paperwork

  • Service receipts

  • Title copies Perfect for building a show display or historical exhibit.

$16K in Recent Professional Restoration

While I initially hoped this Cadillac would be ready for the road as-is, a thorough inspection led to an extensive mechanical refresh at my restoration shop—totaling approximately $16,000. Here's what was done:

  • Complete engine rebuild and reseal

  • New camshaft, lifters, push rods, and oil pump

  • New spark plugs, wires, belts, air filter

  • Brand new carburetor

  • Transmission flush and service

  • All fluids replaced

  • Complete brake system flush

  • New brake rotors, calipers, master cylinder

  • New battery

  • Full exhaust system replacement

  • New tires

  • Replaced and color-matched GM bumper fillers

  • Professional detailing: exterior buff/compound, engine bay, undercarriage

  • New Cadillac floor mats

  • Comes with two sets of keys

Additional Notes

This car drives beautifully—check out the test drive video! The odometer shows light use, and with a zero-mileage engine and fresh supporting components, it’s ready to cruise or show.

If you want to take the look even further, a set of wire wheel covers would be the perfect finishing touch—though it looks fantastic as-is.
