Finished in Aquamarine Blue with matching reupholstered interior
In current ownership since 2018
EU customs clearance completed and all duties paid, with registration pending
The Appeal
The late '50s and early '60s were a golden era for American automobile manufacture. This 1962 Cadillac Sedan DeVille exemplifies all that made it great: huge tail-fins, aquamarine colour scheme, pillarless hardtop roofline, and chrome by the yard - this car has it all.
These big Cadillacs have a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic, and good examples are increasingly sought after.
This particular car has been in the current owner's hands since 2018 and underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2023. The vendor describes it as a driver-quality classic: honest, solid, and well-maintained rather than a concours showpiece. The bodywork is reported to be in good order with only a few minor paint bubbles, and the interior presents well in its coordinating blue upholstery.
Having been permanently imported from the UAE with all customs duties and taxes paid, this Cadillac is reportedly ready for its next keeper to complete EU registration and start enjoying it on European roads.IMG_1777 Rolf Moes.jpeg8.26 MB
