New Hemmings private listing.
Good initial pictures and description, in my opinion  ;)

I was expecting a convertible for the asking price.  It might find a serious buyer at half the asking price.

Really glad to have joined the CLC again.
Feedback from experienced members is helpful in understanding the true values.
Hoping to buy my first Cadillac by the end of the year.
Many thanks.

Welcome. This is a beautiful well preserved Cadillac, that said even in these insane times I would be surprised if this car actually changes hands higher than the teens.
Age 69, Living in Gods waiting room ( Florida ) Owned over 40 Old Cadillac's from 1955's to 1990 Brougham's. Currently own a 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible and a 1992 Cadillac 5.7 Brougham.

 Mr. Loving,
I agree with Bill... assuming everything works ( especially vulnerable: climate control, level ride), if one's plan is to use the car and put some serious mileage on it, those two items will likely not make it past 50K miles. Not trying to come off as cynical, but cars of that era did  not have  especially durable luxury options. It does appear to have good leather and a rust free undercarriage, and those  are  real pluses. As you shop, keep asking for advice. Some of these old cars not only break the bank, but more importantly, break your heart.   James
