I met a bloke earlier this month and we started talking about cars.
He is looking for a 1958 Sixty Special Cadillac (4 door), as his Dad had one in the good old days.
Any input would be appreciated if you know of one for sale.
We are in Thousand Oaks, CA (close to Los Angeles), but distance is not a factor.
Here's one for sale in Monterey Park, CA I saw in Craigslist. View the ad at 1958 Cadillac (https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/7570517578.html)

Vince, thank you for the reply.
I found a few that matches the general ID and the one you mentioned I sent to my buddy.
At this stage I do not know how much his wants to pay and what condition he expects, or what work he can do himself, but with what appears to be limited numbers produced and that year and model, I do not think there are many fixers.
Much appreciated - Happy Holidays!!
I know this thread is 6 months old, but I have a 58 sedan DeVille (not sure of the exact model/designation). It may be a series 62? I'm going to have it appraised soon.
If you're friend is still looking, I'd be happy to send him the full appraisal report once I receive it.
A Sedan Deville is a 62 (plate should say 6239D on yours) whereas the 60 special Fleetwood is 6039.
Max, please send some details when you have them - thx
