Justin Bieber’s “Peaches” Cadillac up for auction
The infamous 1968 Cadillac Coupe DeVille featured in Justin Bieber’s popular “Peaches” music video is up for auction.
The car, which Bieber is seen driving and dancing on in the music video, is being auctioned off by the original collector car marketplace Hemmings.
Music News Blitz writer Zach Heynes discusses the details about the car and its auction status.
“Peaches” - a chart topper
“Peaches” is one of the Canadian popstar’s biggest hits with almost two billion streams.
The song was more than just an online phenomenon, debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning multiple Grammy nominations.
In the video, which is currently at over 865 million views on YouTube, Bieber is joined by Daniel Caesar and Giveon, who are also featured on the hit song.
The iconic “Peaches” Cadillac
The Cadillac plays a prominent role in the infamous song’s viral video.
The pop culture memorabilia sports a custom “peaches-and-cream” gradient paint job and a V8 engine with only 30,000 miles on the clock.
While it appears mostly in stock, the car features custom details such as a Bluetooth audio system and a four-corner air-suspension system.
Auctioned for a cause
The auction’s proceeds will be used to support awareness for breast cancer research, emotional-wellness initiatives and patient support, including causes such as No Name Necessary Foundation and Stand Up to Cancer.
Craig Harwin, the car’s current owner, decided to sell the car in memory of his wife, Deborah Waknin, and her best friend, Shannon Doherty.
Both Waknin, a Hollywood fashion stylist, and Doherty, an actress, passed away from breast cancer.
“This foundation was born from their shared dream of turning grief into purpose,” said Harwin, adding, “The sale of this unique vehicle will support that movement.”
