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.

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?

It's a Cadillac something. You can see the Cadillac script in the mirror.
Current:
1976 Eldorado Convertible in Crystal Blue Fire Mist with white interior and top. (Misty Blue)

Past and much missed:
1977 Brougham de Elegance
1976 Eldorado Convertible
1972 Fleetwood Brougham
1971 Sedan de Ville
1970 de Ville Convertible
1969 Fleetwood Brougham
1969 Sedan de Ville
1959 Sedan deVille

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. (?)

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.
