Description
1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham- ONLY 12,843 Miles! -429cid/340hp 4bbl Automatic Full Custom If you are searching for a one of a kind Customized Cadillac with a really interesting history and build… Well, the pictures tell the story! At the time of the build at Custom Craft, President Nixon's Limousine was being built at the same time and coincidentally, the initials “RMN” belonged to both the owner of this Cadillac and Richard M. Nixon. The car has been looked over by a mechanic and addressed any needs it has.
Please note the image of the Newspaper article in the Detroit Free Press from Sunday, August 29th 1971 in the image gallery. This is simply a well kept, “one of a kind” 12,843 mile 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham “as it was built” with noted minor flaws from age. A note about the company who built this car: “Custom Craft” was a thriving company specializing in building cars for those who wanted “personalized cars” in Detroit, Michigan.
Many clients had Custom Cadillacs built by Custom Craft purportedly including Richard M. Nixon, Steve McQueen, Tom Jones, several English Rock Groups (including “The Who”), Smokey Robinson, Liberace, and the King of Saudi Arabia (to name only a few!). The Custom Craft Company was owned by Heinz Prechter, Who founded ASC (American Sunroof Corporation)- who is well know for creating the Sunroof Market for Vehicles in the United States.
By 1967, Prechter relocated his company, now known as ASC Inc., to Southgate, Michigan and began expanding beyond sunroofs to custom-tailored vinyl tops, building prototypes and other customized vehicles. At its peak, ASC grew to employ more than 5,300 at 60 sites across the U.S., Canada, Germany and South Korea. Prechter was inducted posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2004, where he had been previously honored as their Industry Leader of the Year in 1990 and given a Distinguished Service Citation Award in 1996.
Finally, he was elected to the German American Hall of Fame in 2014

Cadillac Fleetwood Buyer's Guide
Sarah Whitfield here. The Fleetwood name carries history that most buyers don't fully appreciate. Fleetwood Metal Body Company of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania was one of America's premier coachbuilders — crafting custom bodies for chassis from Packard, Lincoln, and Cadillac — before General Motors acquired it in 1925. GM used the Fleetwood name to designate their finest, most carefully constructed bodies from that point forward. When you buy a Cadillac Fleetwood, you're buying the continuation of that coachbuilding heritage applied at industrial scale.
The postwar Fleetwood from 1955 through 1976 represents the apex of this tradition. The 1959 Fleetwood with its famously extreme tailfins is perhaps the most recognizable single American car of the century. The later Fleetwood Brougham is the executive transport standard. Both deserve serious collector attention.
