  • Full respray 15 years ago – still presents beautifully

The Appeal


Cruising in comfort with a burbling motor is something the American car industry has always done well. The likes of Chevrolet, Dodge and Cadillac are seemingly all about creating living rooms on wheels.

Well, this 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine takes that an extra step further with its long wheelbase, plush seats and smooth riding engine. Indeed, it will sit eight in total thanks to the folding seats and transport all in comfort with a smooth V8 engine and automatic gearbox. 

Presenting wonderfully thanks to a respray no more than 15 years ago and living most of its recent life in a secure garage, this is a car that will stand out on any road. But especially in Europe where automotive proportions are far less extravagant, it is sure to attract plenty of attention.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
€0 to €9,999 €100.00
€10,000 to €49,999 €250.00
€50,000 to €99,999 €500.00
€100,000 + €1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you\'re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
