Here in cheerful red and white an  unrestored all original well maintained 1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville. 5% not original are the chrome wire wheels which are off a 1953 Buick Skylark and the chrome trim on the fins were rechromed.   The chrome bumpers are excellent all original. Cadillacs of this era are known for pitting
by the window vents. As in photo mine are perfect and pit free.    Paint is factory original and very good. Some small chips on the doors but no dings and few on top
of fenders (from past servicing) and were touched up. Bias white walls on balanced rims. Also white wall spare on wire wheel, Full factory jack set and lug wrench.

All chrome dash is beautiful and pit free. Headliner perfect. Door panels, carpet, parcel shelf, seats A-1 with no missing buttons, no cuts or rips. Factory white leather. Power windows, seats, trunk,steering, brakes, and antenna working perfectly. Also working tube radio with dual speakers and working clock. Excellent heater. NO AC thank God ..makes servicing engine a lot easier.

Engine has new wires, plugs, points and cap. Compression is good. Runs on regular gas and purrs like a kitten. Dual exhaust and tight with no leaks. Transmission
changes smoothly and brakes excellent including foot brake. Rust free car. New shocks all around and new battery.

Im the 3rd owner. The previous owner of 35 years would remove small chrome parts and clean them with a tooth brush like chrome unit under wipers. Car ALWAYS parked in a insulated garage. There is nothing negative to say except don't wash the car in the sun. The original factory red paint will get water spots on hood and trunk and you will spend rest of the day polishing them out.

Im selling to downsize my car collection. Shipping across Canada is affordable. Shipping to U.S.A. is a bit more costly because $600 aprox for duty and
customs. However I will assist the buyer as best I can. I have more photos just go to questions at bottom of listing.

Payment $1000.00 deposit and balance within 7 days by Paypal or wired bank draft.   My feedback is 100% positive, I just sold my 69 Olds to a buyer in Florida .
  Car is located in Vancouver area of B.C Canada. Car has clear title.

To view this exact Cadillac listed here on YouTube just  type this in search box    VID 00000011 1957 Red Cadillac This was       shot in summer 2013.  Car is leaving
 the Chevron gas station ( note $1.39 litre gas ) and you will hear the motor and transmission doing its job around town. After two minutes I turn on the tube radio. As I proceed home I climb very steep hill. Any clicking is the turn signals. Any bouncing is my Blackberry Tablet camera sitting on dash.
  I have a low reserve. The car is for sale locally so I remove the listing for local buyers HOWEVER ebay rules state listing cannot be pulled once the reserve is met and I will honour it.  This time last year my 1957 Cadillac 4 dr and my 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood both went to Saudi Arabia.

Shipping rate for Canadians MVS Canada seems to have the fairest rate and positive feedback on Facebook. They quoted me Vancouver, B.C. to Montreal, Quebec
$1700. You can get a fast quote from them 1 888 756 7447. I should mention the wipers work too good but would not stop so the vacuum line disconnected . The
 cable and control froze up. A common problem some 57 Caddy's and 58 Buicks. I have like new working cable and control that goes with the car. Since I never
 drive in the rain. Some times I use RainX product which works well.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Cadillac tops Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-automated driving test

Thu, Oct 4 2018

General Motors' Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports and released on Thursday. The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from appliances to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo. Nissan's ProPilot Assist was ranked third and Volvo's Pilot Assist fourth. Consumer Reports said it has been testing partially automated driving systems for several years but elected to conduct a formal study intended for publication, because "we are at a tipping point where they are now going mainstream," according to Jake Fisher, director of auto testing. The organization said its tests, conducted on a private track and on public roads in Connecticut, were designed to measure the systems' ability to automatically control steering and speed in certain situations, while helping drivers pay attention and regain manual control of the vehicle when required. CR noted that any of these systems can increase driving risk if used in inappropriate situations, or if drivers become inattentive or over-reliant on them. While they can help relieve driver stress and fatigue, Consumer Reports said, the partially automated systems are "not intended to be self-driving features." The systems typically use cameras, radar and other sensors, as well as mapping data, to monitor location and traffic conditions and help keep a vehicle centered in the lane at a safe distance behind other cars. Each system has limitations. Cadillac's Super Cruise, for instance, only functions on divided highways that have been mapped by GM. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot can be used even on small, curvy roads with poor lane markings, but "operates erratically in those situations," Consumer Reports said.The organization tested Super Cruise on the Cadillac CT6; Autopilot on the Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model S; ProPilot Assist on the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti QX50; and Pilot Assist on the Volvo XC40 and XC60. Consumer Reports said Cadillac's Super Cruise did "the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring the car is operated safely and the driver is paying attention." Tesla's Autopilot was cited for its capability and ease of use, while Nissan's ProPilot Assist did a better job than Autopilot or Volvo's Pilot Assist in keeping drivers engaged.

2014 Cadillac CTS debuts new design, twin-turbo power, Vsport model [w/video]

Tue, 26 Mar 2013


If ever there were a Cadillac to truly rival the world's best, this could be it.
With every new model, Cadillac indeed gets closer and closer to actually performing at the top of its class, rivaling those crafty Germans at their own sport/luxury sedan game. The best example yet of Cadillac's efforts to challenge the world came last year, when we met the 2013 ATS - a vehicle that we praised for its on-road dynamics and interior refinement, and later went on to be named North American Car of the Year.
