49K ACTUAL MILES 429 V8 TH400 PROTECT-O-PLATE BELIEVED ORIGINAL PAINT & INTERIOR
Description
Absolutely iconic and quite original, this 1967 Cadillac Calais is the value-priced big Caddy hardtop sedan you've been waiting for.
Stacked headlights, plenty of tailfin, and a seriously long profile is exactly what ruled the road in the '60s. But this car makes a great first impression for more than just its big Caddy appeal. It has a well-preserved look that has averaged less than 950 miles annually. This has been well-maintained, and so we even suspect the factory-correct Baroque Gold to be original. It gives this sedan a precious metal look, and the good condition still radiates in the sunshine. This also helps to highlight the well-creased sheetmetal. You'll love all the details, including the large form-fitting chrome bumper up front, the classic fender skirts, and the unique brightwork that protects the taillights while drawing even more attention to the extended rear. Plus, in general, the Calais is an interesting car in Cadillac circles. It's far rarer than the similar but more expensive DeVille. But this was also never the bargain basement considering you could buy two new Chevy Biscaynes for the Calais' price - and still have gas money left in your pocket!
Cadillac style in the 60s was all about coordinating colors and intricate design. So when you open the door, you'll love seeing the gold interior that shows all signs of a preserved original. The wide and comfortable seats are a nice combination of fabric and durable vinyl, and there's plenty of room to seat six. But anytime you're just out for a solo cruise the armrest makes this comfortable just for the driver. This upholds the classic Caddy image for true luxury with features, like a power seat, provisions for factory air conditioning, and power windows. That last feature is particularly nice, because it means you never have to leave the driver's seat whenever you want to show off the cool pillarless hardtop profile of this long sedan. And while the original AM radio is still on display, your real driving tunes come from a Pioneer AM/FM stereo w/Bluetooth hidden in the glovebox.
The big 429 cubic-inch engine under the hood with a four-barrel carburetor on top is a great '60s Cadillac motor. With the high degrees of originality on this sedan so far, it's great to know this is believed to also be the factory motor still under the hood. And the way this one fires up readily and idles smoothly reaffirms its well-kept life. Big torque moves all this sheetmetal with ease, especially when paired with the TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. As expected from a Cadillac, the ride has an unparalleled smoothness that soaks up bumps like a hovercraft. As you're enjoying the road trip, the power steering and power brakes are there to keep the experience effortless.
