1961 Sedan deVille 6-window

[D.Smith]

Just seeing if there is any interest in the club for my 61.

1961 in Lexington green.

64K miles.    Original car.   The only things updated are new bias ply tires (from Universal in Hershey),  new windshield, new brakes, fuel pump and I just had the carb rebuilt.   Oh a new old style tar top battery.

Options:
Heater
Radio
Guidematic
Tinted Glass
6-way power seat
door edge guards.

Car is a solid #2 in condition. 

I really don't need to sell it.  But lately I've been yearning for a nice mid seventies Cadillac. 

Car is located in Hartford, Connecticut.     $20,000 or best offer.  Got a nice trade?   Looking for a mid seventies Cadillac that is turn key.   Must have tilt wheel and working A/C

Drop me a line and convince me to part with my 61.        Davidsmith121@comcast.net

Dave... Please don't take this the wrong way but I'm going to repeat what I said to you at Hershey: You're nuts!

LOL  I KNEW you'd be the first person to reply!

Dave,
Your car sounds like the perfect car for the guy in England.

[D.Smith]

Not really.   I work odd hours and weekends so getting the car to a port for export is out of the question.   

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

The buyer should be able to make those arrangements himself. There are specialists for that kind of thing. Talk to Brian Rachlin.

I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.

I'm still shaking my head in disbelief. 

I think you should add it to your collection Eric.   Just buy Lynns Crystal blue 76 Talisman that is forsale and I'll happily trade it with you.    I like that better than the Persian lime 74 CDV that was in Hershey.

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

If it had two less doors I'd seriously consider it; two less doors + black, I'd have to own it.

David, these are your friends talking to you! This thing looks like, if not 1961, at least 1963. If you want a '70s car, go see your friendly banker. But if you sell this thing, you'll regret it forever. Keep it. (AND I like yours better than the Fleetwood.)

[D.Smith]

Hi Barry,  You are probably right.   

You've heard of the seven year itch?    Well I get the three year itch when it comes to cars.  LOL   

Steven in Scotland is interested in it.   If he can work out the details it may be going overseas.

You can always keep Carl Steig's '74 CDV (Persian Lime) in the back of your mind. I think that Ann still has it. I was going to buy it sight unseen and have Carl drive it to the Denver GN, and then drive it home. But Ann put the kibosh on that deal. (I guess it's hers.) Carl replaced the plastic and drove it a little before his passing. Very nice car.

The 74 CDV was in PA.    It had a jasper green Maharajah cloth interior.  I saw it at Hershey but the seller wasn't interested in a trade even if it was in his favor.  They just wanted a quick sale.   Which I guess they got as it is marked sold on their website now.

Anyone have a picture of the Persian in Persian 74 that was at Hershey ?

Barry,
I think that car has been sold several years ago.

I didn't save the info once I saw it was sold.

Beautiful car, Dave.

[Bob Hoffmann CLC#96]

That's the first lime green car I've ever seen that didn't have the obligatory WHITE interior!!!
Bob

[D.Smith]

Beautiful car, Dave.

Thanks Vince!     If I win the Powerball lottery tonight I 'll keep it, build a nice house with a big garage so I can have several collector cars.

David, having owned both 1960’s and mid 70’s , and while all wonderful cars, I can appreciate your interest to trade. I have evolved a greater fondness of the latter. I’ve had some wonderful 1974’s RWD and they have such a great feel, so quite and smooth. Expansive hood.

I too, would like a Persian lime (with white leather) !

Right now,  I have a mandarin orange 1974 CDV with plaid and white leather interior, orange trim.
