Description
THIS 1979 CADILLAC PHAETON IS A RARE MODEL ON ITS OWN, DUE TO THE LOW PRODUCTION OF THE PHAETON PACKAGE, IT HAS THE 5.7 350 DIESEL ENGINE, WHICH WAS NOT VERY POPULAR BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAKES THIS PARTICULAR PHAETON A BIT MORE RARE, DIESEL ENGINES IN THE PHAETON WERE EXTREMELY LOW NUMBERED, THIS CADILLAC WAS OWNED BY A GM EXECUTIVE FROM 1979-1980 TO SHOW OFF THE PHAETON MODEL AS WELL AS THE DIESEL ENGINE AT EVENTS, THE 2ND OWNER PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 1980 AND HAD IT UNTIL MY PURCHASE IN 2016, I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A PHAETON MODEL AND IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR ONE YOU WILL FIND THEY ARE HARD TO FIND IN NICE SHAPE, I FEEL COMPARING TO THE PHOTOS OF THE PHAETON USED IN THE GOODFELLAS MOVIE FROM 1990, THIS CAR NOW AT 41 YEARS OLD IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THAT CAR WAS AT ITS TIME BEING ONLY 11 YEARS OLD... I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT CHIP BROCHURE, AS WELL AS THE DEALER SALES BROCHURE. THE OWNERS MANUAL, THE ORIGINAL AND DUPLICATE SETS OF KEYS, THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL, ITS NOT PERFECT BUT ITS VERY NICE, PAINT IS NICE, CHROME IS NICE, FABRIC PHAETON TOP IS NICE, THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, PREVIOUS OWNER DETAILED THE UNDERSIDE WELL AT SOME TIME AGO, THE ENGINE BAY IS VERY CLEAN, 2 BRAND NEW BATTERIES WERE JUST INSTALLED, THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY, THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, THE DASH HAS A SPLIT ON TOP WHICH IS COMMON, THE HEADLINER FABRIC WAS REPLACED YEARS AGO AND LOOKS GREAT, STEERING WHEEL AND DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE AS WELL, CARPET IS NICE, ALONG WITH ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS. TWILIGHT HEADLIGHTS WORK FINE, POWER WINDOWS WORK FINE, POWER LOCKS WORK, POWER SEATS WORK, DRIVER SIDE WONT GO BACKWARD AT TIMES, THE AIR CONDITIONING NEEDS TO BE CHARGED, AM-FM RADIO WORKS FINE, THE ANTENNA MOTOR RUNS BUT IT STAYS IN THE UP POSITION. THE ORIGINAL STYLE THICK WHITE WALL TIRES ARE AGED BUT IN NICE SHAPE. THE REAR LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE BUMPER FILLERS HAVE JUST BEEN REPLACED,THE OTHER 3 PIECE SET OF NEW REAR MIDDLE FILLERS ARE IN THE TRUNK. THE ONLY THING I WAS PLANNING TO DO THIS UPCOMING SPRING WAS TO GET A FLUID AND FILTER SERVICE PERFORMED, AND POSSIBLY 2 FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, FROM SITTING THEY TEND TO GET GRABBY. OTHER THAN THAT THERE WAS NOTHING IT NEEDED AT TIME OF WINTERIZING BACK IN OCTOBER WHEN IT CRUISED LAST.... THE CADILLAC IS CURRENTLY TUCKED AWAY FOR WINTER, BUT I COULD GET IT OUT AT ANY TIME, AND WOULD WORK WITH YOUR SHIPPER FOR A PICKUP DATE..
