Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this Cadillac is its original factory Ebony lacquer paint. The solid black finish remains nearly flawless and presents with a depth and character that is extremely difficult to duplicate on a restored automobile.The body is solid and laser-straight throughout, with no evidence of rust. The original panels retain excellent fit and finish, and the car has the unmistakable presence of an untouched, preserved Cadillac. The original chrome, stainless trim, emblems, and Cadillac badging are all intact and in excellent condition. Factory Cadillac wheel covers are also well preserved and are mounted with period-correct whitewall tires and the Factory Cadillac wheel covers. This is not a freshly restored car made to look original. It is an original survivor that has simply been preserved to an extraordinary degree. The interior is equally impressive. The factory gray cloth and leather upholstery (Trim Code 61) remains in pristine condition. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the front seat is still protected by its original factory plastic, an extraordinary survivor detail that speaks volumes about how carefully this Cadillac has been preserved. The interior retains its beautifully appointed Cadillac wood trim, complete full gauge cluster, illuminated glove box, and original fittings throughout. The power windows—including the vent windows front and rear—are operational and function as they should. The factory six-way power front seat motor operates but currently needs attention. The original clock is not functioning; otherwise, the accessories and equipment operate as they should. According to its factory information, this Sixty Special was particularly well equipped when it left Cadillac\'s Fleetwood assembly facility. Factory accessory codes include: Soft-Ray tinted glass, Six-way power front seat, Remote trunk lock release, Power door locks, Comfort Control Air Conditioning, Factory seat belts, Power windows, including front and rear vent windows and Automatic headlight dimming. The factory air conditioning system has been serviced with new A/C hoses, and the system blows cold.The Cadillac\'s original powertrain runs beautifully and delivers the smooth, effortless driving character expected of a proper Fleetwood Sixty Special. As part of the extensive recommissioning, the following work has been completed: new fuel tank, new radiator, new brake shoes, new brake lines and fittings — June 2026, New brake booster, the new AC hoses and comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing. Documentation for some of the recent work performed will be included with the sale. Importantly, the original radiator and original brake shoes have been retained with the car, providing additional documentation and preservation value for the collector who wants to maintain the car\'s originality.The trunk remains exceptionally well preserved and includes the original spare tire with its cover and original jack equipment.The Cadillac\'s factory identification provides an interesting look into its original specifications:Production Date: 01E — Fifth week of January 1964,Style: 64-6039 — Fleetwood Sixty Special 4-Door Sedan,Body: FW 8764 — Detroit Fleetwood assembly plant,Trim: 61 — Gray cloth and leather, andPaint: 10 — Ebony Black Factory Accessories: E, Y, S, M, K, V.The Fleetwood Sixty Special occupied a special place in Cadillac\'s hierarchy. It was not simply a large Cadillac sedan; the Sixty Special represented Cadillac\'s more prestigious, individually styled luxury offering and was traditionally positioned above the standard Series 62 models. For 1964, Cadillac continued the Sixty Special\'s elegant formal character with its long, imposing proportions, distinctive Fleetwood styling, extensive brightwork, and richly appointed interior. These cars represented the height of American luxury before the industry began moving toward smaller, more standardized luxury automobiles.It is increasingly difficult to find American luxury cars of this era that have escaped restoration, repainting, rust repair, modifications, or years of neglect. An exceptionally preserved original Cadillac such as this offers something a restored example simply cannot replicate: authenticity, originality, and provenance. The important distinction is that this car\'s value is not based simply on condition. Its originality is a major part of the story. A comparable restored Sixty Special may have fresh paint and upholstery, but it cannot reproduce the significance of an original Ebony lacquer finish, factory interior, original fitting
