Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood station wagon

While I didn’t come across a Cadillac station wagon for today’s Vintage Hemmings Find of the Day, such Cad wagons were indeed the rage back then, and still appear today, as seen with this 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood nine-passenger station wagon currently for sale on Hemmings.com.From the seller’s description:

Exceptional unrestored California car. Fully loaded with all Brougham options including power factory sunroof, rear foot rests, windows, door locks, etc. Beautiful silver paint with red leather interior. Excellent conversion! Beautiful lines unlike may wagon conversions.

It’s not unusual nowadays to come across these wagons without any information on who built it – that information’s usually lost or ignored in a ploy to pass off the car as a rare factory-built wagon – but according to both the Cadillac Database of Dream Cars on Cadillac Chassis and Walter P. McCall’s “80 Years of Cadillac La Salle,” this wagon was likely built by the Custom Craft Division of Automobile Specialty Corp, which called it the Fleetwood Brougham Astro Estate Wagon.
