A 1958 Cadillac Series 75 nine-passenger Imperial Sedan Limousine is being offered for sale at $42,995, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most prestigious American luxury vehicles of the postwar era. With just 730 examples produced for the 1958 model year, the Series 75 limousine stood near the top of Cadillac’s lineup and represented the pinnacle of factory-built chauffeured automobiles in the United States.
By the late 1950s, Cadillac had firmly established itself as America’s premier luxury brand, following the decline or exit of competitors such as Packard and the reduced presence of other domestic marques in the chauffeured segment. Unlike Lincoln and Imperial, which relied on outside coachbuilders, Cadillac produced its own factory limousines. The 1958 model year carried added significance, marking General Motors’ 50th anniversary and Cadillac’s two-millionth vehicle built.
The 1958 Cadillacs were fully redesigned, featuring quad headlights made possible by updated regulations, a jeweled grille, refined bumper guards, and a more modern interpretation of Cadillac’s signature tailfins. The Series 75 limousine carried these styling cues in an elongated, formal body finished in black paint and accented by accessory flag holders and a rear-mounted Continental kit.
Power comes from a 365-cubic-inch V8 engine equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and paired with a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The drivetrain is supported by dual exhaust and benefits from standard power steering and power brakes, easing operation of the nearly 5,500-pound vehicle. Factory fog lights and wide whitewall radial tires with full wheel discs further enhance both usability and appearance.
Inside, the limousine offers a clear distinction between chauffeur and passenger accommodations. The front compartment features black leather upholstery, while the rear passenger area is trimmed in light gray Bedford Cord with broadcloth accents. Stowable rear seats increase capacity, while amenities include rear footrests, folding armrest, parcel compartments, personal window controls, divider window operation, rear radio controls, and multiple ash receivers. The car is also equipped with factory air conditioning, power windows, a power seat, AM radio with accessory FM and 8-track units, and an under-dash CB radio.
With 20,066 miles shown and long-term ownership history from a western collector, this Series 75 limousine reflects an era when Cadillac defined American luxury, prestige, and presence on the road. See it here.
