November 8, 201015 yr Cool..there is a '58 4dr ht like that around here that I see often...it's white w/ a green roof.
November 8, 201015 yr I LOVE '58s, passing a '58 Series 75 going to HS on the bus was one of the first vintage cars to suck me into the car hobby. But I find it strange the seller is calling it a Fleetwood; the Series 60 Specials had EXTENSIVE ornate trim : This isn't 'even' a Sedan de Ville, it's a Series 62 ('entry-level' Cad). Still a real nice car- just know what you're buying (and I hope you see clear to!).

Still a real nice car- just know what you're buying (and I hope you see clear to!). Perhaps the naming convention for Canadian models differed from the American ones? Likely not, but it may be a possibility. Or the seller just used the popular Fleetwood name to attract more viewers. Either way, that's very nice, and you should really check it out! However, I'd really be concerned about what a half century of Canadian winters have done to it.
November 8, 201015 yr ^ I missed the fact that this is in Canada, and that's a good point, Fapster. However, at this point in time Cadillacs were built in 1 factory only (Detroit) and the sole export model listed was still a Series 62 4-dr hardtop. Cadillac just wouldn't rename what was a Series 62 in the U.S. as a Fleetwood in Canada; not their SOP- I would require hard proof to the contrary to believe otherwise. And after 50 years, this certainly could be a U.S.-spec Sereies 62 C-58 that made it's way across the border. So you are probably correct in that the seller used the name as an advertising draw.

November 8, 201015 yr Author Oh I don't think I have any intention of purchasing it... just browsing the classifieds and it caught my eye- thought it was worth sharing.
