1952 Cadillac Fleetwood
Golden Anniversary Edition
First Purchased out of St Petersburg, FL., then, driven to its home in
Apalachin, NY.
for 30 respectable years and 20,000 miles. A lot of history goes with this one.
2nd owner gave into a custom Laquer paint to the Dark Metallic Green, very nicely done. Also a complete mechanical once over. This is a SURVIVOR, NOT RESTORED.
Driven only on weekends for pleasure.Always maintained, serviced and is now with up-to-date inspection.
This was Cadillac's fifty year anniversary. Only minor styling and trim changes were seen, but some were specially planned to commemorate the occasion. For example, the V- shaped hood and deck emblems were done as gold castings. Backup lights were standard equipment and were now incorporated into the taillights. The grille wraparound panels were redesigned once again. They now had broad chrome trim below each headlight with side scoop styling and a gold-colored winged emblem mounted in the center. At the rear, all models adopted a new Cadillac trademark, a through-the-bumper dual exhaust system. Deck ornamentation varied by series. new standards included self-winding clocks, dual-range Hydra-Matic drive, improved direction signal indicators, glare-proof mirrors, stannate treated pistons, four-barrel carb and all other features seen the year before. Hydraulic window lifts remained as regular equipment to future Cadillac models. The Sixty Special Fleetwood sedan had the same general styling changes seen in other lines, plus minor trim and appointment variations. For example, the word Fleetwood appeared on the rear deck lid (instead of a Cadillac crest) and the eight vertical fender louvers were seen again.
As a side note: Cadillac had the most powerful car in the American industry in 1952.
