1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine by Superior

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 regularly pay overly generous fees 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 debuts with Part 1 offering over 200 cars in October, all offered 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.

The 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood was a grand finale for classic American luxury sedans — big, bold, and unapologetically elegant. As the last rear-wheel-drive, body-on-frame Cadillac, it combined timeless style with surprising muscle. Under the hood was the Corvette-derived 5.7-liter LT1 V8, delivering a forceful 260 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. That meant this stately cruiser could move with authority, all while offering a ride smoother than silk.

Its long 121.5-inch wheelbase gave passengers limousine-like legroom, and the plush leather interior, wood trim, and advanced features like dual-zone climate control made every drive feel first-class. The Fleetwood wasn’t just about comfort — it could tow up to 7,000 pounds when properly equipped, making it as practical as it was luxurious.

Though 1996 marked its final year, the Fleetwood went out in style, embodying Cadillac’s heritage of craftsmanship and power. The Fleetwood didn’t just end an era — it celebrated it.

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 limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential, however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning to 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 beginning Monday, November 3 through Wednesday, November 19. No cars can be retrieved prior to November 3 and any lots remaining after November 19 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
