Description

  1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham- ONLY 12,843 Miles! -Full

  Custom

  If you are searching for a one of a kind Customized Cadillac with a

  really interesting history and build... Well, the pictures tell the

  story! At the time of the build at Custom Craft, the story told by

  our seller and supported by the builder is that President Nixon's

  Limousine was being built at the same time and coincidentally, the

  initials "RMN" belonged to both the owner of this Cadillac and

  Richard M. Nixon. Please note that this Cadillac is being sold is

  "as is" condition and the seller has not indicated any problems

  that need to be addressed. He has had the car looked over by a

  mechanic himself and addressed any needs it had according to his

  statements. You are welcome to have it looked over by your own

  mechanic, of course. Our seller has it insured by HAGERTY Classic

  Car insurance for $164,000. And has an Appraisal at $150,000. He is

  open to considering ALL offers. Please note the image of the

  Newspaper article in the Detroit Free Press from Sunday, August

  29th 1971 in the image gallery. This is simply a well kept, "one of

  a kind" 12,843 mile 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham "as it was

  built" with noted minor flaws from age. Make an offer.

  A note about the company who built this car:

  "Custom Craft" was a thriving company specializing in building cars

  for those who wanted "personalized cars" in Detroit, Michigan. Many

  clients had Custom Cadillacs built by Custom Craft purportedly

  including Richard M. Nixon, Steve McQueen, Tom Jones, several

  English Rock Groups (including "The Who"), Smokey Robinson,

  Liberace, and the King of Saudi Arabia (to name only a few!). The

  Custom Craft Company was owned by Heinz Prechter, Who founded ASC

  (American Sunroof Corporation)- who is well know for creating the

  Sunroof Market for Vehicles in the United States.By 1967, Prechter

  relocated his company, now known as ASC Inc., to Southgate,

  Michigan and began expanding beyond sunroofs to custom-tailored

  vinyl tops, building prototypes and other customized vehicles. At

  its peak, ASC grew to employ more than 5,300 at 60 sites across the

  U.S., Canada, Germany and South Korea. Prechter was inducted

  posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2004, where he had

  been previously honored as their Industry Leader of the Year in

  1990 and given a Distinguished Service Citation Award in 1996.

  Finally, he was elected to the German American Hall of Fame in

  2014.
