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.

If Cadillac’s smart, the CT5 will be a CTS without baggage

Fri, Jul 28 2017

Cadillac is, mercifully, about to rationalize its lineup, something that's been a long time coming. The CTS is one of those cars that gets admiration from reviewers, like us, for a concerted effort from GM to engineer an underlying platform that matches the Germans in terms of raw dynamics. From buyers, it gets not even a shrug as they, oblivious to its existence, walk right into BMW and Mercedes dealerships. The reasons for this have a lot to do with the sheer brand recognition, and the image, of the German competitors. You can't really lay that all at GM's feet, but what you can do is critique the uninspired drivetrain selection. The 3.6-liter V6 is a crude implement, making its 335 horsepower roughly. The BMW's equivalent inline six makes its power smoothly, with modern forced induction. There's no directly comparable E-Class sedan until you get into the V-Sport versus E43 situation, but the turbo four is smooth. And the interior? No question. The Mercedes is jaw-slacking. The story for the CTS's turbo four is largely the same. Some blame also has to be leveled at the first- and second-generation CTS sedans, which adopted an odd strategy: sell a slightly larger sedan to folks looking at 3-Series, A4, and C-Class, but at about the same price. Folks weren't interested in a larger car for the same money. Despite the third-gen CTS's growth into the 5-Series size class, the CTS still seems like an odd in-betweener in the sport luxury segment – psychologically, if not physically. CTS sales are in the toilet in 2017, and GM is smart to shake things up. So with the announcement that Cadillac head honcho Johan de Nysschen has finally been allowed to kill off underperforming models, the CTS is toast. (As is the ATS, and much more importantly, the XTS – a shambling dinosaur of a sedan.) What's next is the CT5, and that's what we're interested in now. Cadillac has until 2019 to figure out what the CT5 actually is. That isn't a lot of time, so our money is on it being a repositioned, rationalized CTS. The platform's not bad; it's heavier than the larger CT6, but it's fairly modern. Sadly, it's unlikely that any of the standard powertrain options will get a revamp, but maybe some additional sound deadening or an active engine mount system to reduce NVH will quell the V6's bad habits.

Cadillac upgrades ATS sedan to match new coupe

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The big news when it comes to the Cadillac ATS for 2015 is surely the addition of the new coupe model, but that doesn't mean that Cadillac has forgotten about the sedan as well. In fact GM's luxury brand has rolled out a few choice enhancements for the four-door to bring it more in line with the new coupe.
Among those changes that we spotted a couple of weeks ago is a new front fascia that incorporates the brand's new wreath-less emblem, and a sleeker front bumper. The interior has been upgraded as well with new trim options as well as some new tech including Siri Eyes Free functionality, dictated text messaging and optional inductive smartphone charging.
Though the ATS Coupe does away with the base engine, sedan buyers can still opt for the 2.0-liter four with 202 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter V6 carries over unchanged at 321 hp and 275 lb-ft, but the 2.0-liter turbo four gets the upgraded torque rating of 295 lb-ft (the highest in the range) to go with its 272 hp. Some new color choices are also among the upgrades you can read more about in the press release below.

Cadillac launching crossover-heavy product offensive

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Utilizing information provided by Cadillac suppliers, Reuters says that Cadillac is preparing two more crossovers that will bow after its current product initiative is complete. According to the report, a year after the next SRX arrives in 2016, a pair of CUVs will be unveiled that will bracket it in size, and they'll be headed for the US and Chinese markets.
That is years away, though. For now, the company's attentions are on the nearly here CTS and ELR range-extended coupe, the next Escalade SUV (shown above), an ATS coupe, and the range-topper that will sit above the XTS. That, and possibly an even more impressive range-topper that promises to be the mean and majestic super-luxe unicorn Cadillac we've been dreaming about for more than a decade now.
In response to the issue of how German crossovers might be having an impact on Cadillac's future plans, a company source said - rightly, we think - "we don't need to duplicate the Germans." That doesn't mean, however, that it can't wade deeper into a market segment that the Germans are making a ton of money in. In fact, and since everyone is doing it, we'd be surprised if Cadillac didn't, even if it won't happen for another four years.
