Don Draper's Cadillac For Sale

Motor Authority

Looking for a car that will give you a sense of existential angst no matter how successful you've become? Well, you have a little over two days to buy the 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille Don Draper drove on the AMC hit series Mad Men. We know, we know, you think Don gave the car away to a budding con man in the show's penultimate episode, either to shed material goods or help put a young man on the right path. That was make believe, folks. The car was actually a prop and now you can own it.

The Caddy is available through the auction company ScreenBid, which partners with Hollywood studios and networks to sell props, wardrobe, and set decorations from movies and TV shows. The car is one of 1384 pieces of memorabilia up for auction from the show, though it will likely be among the most expensive items. As of this writing, 60 bids have put the price at $26,250, which is quite reasonable for this star car. However, the price will likely go much higher and the winning bidder will be responsible for an additional 24 percent "buyer's premium."

So what do you get for your money? Aside from a piece of Hollywood history, you get a Coupe DeVille hardtop that originally had a starting price of $5419. We can't speak to its condition, but the car appears to be in great shape. Unfortunately, you'll have to judge for yourself based on three oddly photoshopped pictures included here. If the original engine is still under the miles-long hood, it's 340-horsepower 429-cubic-inch V-8. Cadillac built a total of 43,345 Coupe DeVilles in 1965. Only one of them, however, was driven by Jon Hamm as Don Draper. And now it can be yours.
