1970 Cadillac Calais Coupe

This 1970 Cadillac Calais coupe was purchased new by the seller’s uncle through Hufstader Cadillac in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for $6,578.80, and it features factory options including an AM/FM radio, Soft-Ray glass, a limited-slip “Controlled” differential, and automatic climate control. After a few years of commuting several miles per day, the car transitioned to occasional weekend duty, and it was inherited by the seller several years ago. It now shows 35k miles. Finished in Adriatic Turquoise Metallic over Medium Turquoise Dynasty cloth and leather, it is powered by a 472ci V8 that was rated at 375 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque when new. Additional details include a three-speed automatic transmission, 15″ wheels, bench seating, power windows, and an analog clock. This Calais is now offered with the original purchase invoice, records, and a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Adriatic Turquoise Metallic (34), and styling incorporates a chrome grille, bumpers, and trim. Other features include quad headlights, rear fender skirts, and rear tail fins. Imperfections and signs of corrosion are noted, and a repair was performed to one of the tail fins years ago after the car was vandalized with a hammer. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
