Vehicle Description

Check out this beautiful 1949 Cadillac Series 61 Fastback Club Coupe - also known as the "Sadenette." This sleek fastback coupe is more than just a beautiful car, it's a well-preserved piece of Cadillac history. Owned by the same enthusiast from the late 1960s until recently, this Cadillac was pulled from a treasured estate and is ready to impress its next caretaker.

Lovingly shown and driven from the late '70s through the 2010s, this car is a show veteran with trophies and plaques dating back over 45 years, all included with the sale. It retains the same beautiful paint and interior it received in the 1970s and has clearly been babied ever since. With just 98,000 believed-accurate miles, this Cadillac runs and drives like a dream.
