It survived!
No Im not buying it. One 63 wagon was enough!

John, looking for some expert commentary on this one... that back window deflector is an odd design flourish, and looks expensive... the interior looks to be original, and a "high end" option. This one has to have had an interesting ownership history... a rara avis for certain.
The New Cadillac Database has a picture of this car.
Looks like the original firemist turquoise blue paint.
Victor Coach (and Cantor?) used the rear sunscreen as a signature element.
Unique wire wheels?
Also, below is a 1965 version by Cantor.

John, Thanks for the link... some terrific pictures of custom Cadillacs. Victor Coach apparently designed a great concept. The one you discovered looks to be a worthy candidate for a good CLC home. Thanks for posting along with the additional information. James
I wonder what it would look like with a really good wash inside and out?
It might be a presentable runner in rough original condition.
Hmmmmmm.....

Given that Cadillac was a status vehicle in those days, it is surprising they did not build an SUV, er, station wagon for the Mrs or the house staff to drive.
John, they'd look mighty nice parked side by side......just sayin' ;)
Lots of rust holes in the rear. I fear the floor pans and frame may be gone.
Doing a little Google research: apparently Victor produced this one bespoke car, so it may have additional value.
I never heard of this coachbuilder before. Is anything known about it- Ie, years in business, production, types of models offered etc?
that tailgate is loaded with Bondo
I noticed the PA Bicentennial license plate issued in 1976.
I posted this earlier for you John. You should go for gold! Hahaha!
Is that an Eldorado wagon beside it? Passenger side.

It's a Cadillac something. You can see the Cadillac script in the mirror.
This car would make a nice, non-running corner display vehicle.
I think it might be cheaper to do a Caddy wagon conversion from scratch. (?)
Hubcaps?
The Reserve has been met with a bid of $3,900 five days left on the auction.
Yes that is a 1970 Eldorado Sport Wagon parked on the left side of the 64 Wagon, in several pictures you can see the front edge of the left front fender and the cornering light in one of the photos. It would be a more interesting car bacause they used a one piece lift gate off of the Lamans/Regal wagons of that era so less complex then a tailgate.
