1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Project

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Introduced as Cadillac's premier owner-driven sedan, the Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special occupied a prestigious position just below the exclusive Eldorado Brougham in the brand's lineup. The 1958 model showcased the extravagant styling that defined the era.

Among its design features were dramatic tailfins, an abundance of chrome trim, quad headlights, and distinctive ribbed stainless-steel rear-quarter-panel accents. In addition, the sedan offered exceptional interior space and comfort, and it was one of the most technologically advanced luxury cars of its day.

This example is finished in black with two-toned light gray leather upholstery with dark charcoal patterned broadcloth. Its 365ci V8 engine has an Edlebrock 4-barrel carburetor, with power delivered to the rear wheels through a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Features include Fleetwood-exclusive body trim and identification, 15” steel wheels with full covers, power four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, an AM radio, and power steering, windows, door locks, and six-way front seat.

The brakes are inoperable, so the car is unsafe to drive in its current condition and should be considered a project.

This 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special project is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at the time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning of both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM and 6PM local time, beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
