1955 Cadillac deville series 62 hardtop coupe CALIFORNIA CAR custom rat hot rod


-I am selling a 1955 Cadillac series 62 Hardtop 

- car runs and drives but needs fuel tank checked out. When I got it, it had a 1 gallon fuel can in the front supplying fuel to the motor along with an electric fuel pump wired into a toggle switch

-this is a cadillac motor but not sure which of the 2 sizes it is for sure, from what I can tell there are 2 options: 331 or 365

-car seems to be very solid with only very minor cancer starting. Along the very back of the trunk there are a few small holes, and there is a 2 inch section of the lower passenger 1/4 panel that is starting to show cancer

-the interior is in excellent shape, the seats and door panels were redone, and nice carpet, the headliner is still intact and the dashpad is still very nice

-the body seems to be very straight 90% or better, but the brown primer looks like it was put on with a brush, the black looks to be sprayed. But at least having primer on it has helped preserve the body

-the glass is in good original looking shape but the front windshield has been scratched and has a chip or 2 in it

-This has been a California car for at least 40+ years (it appears that it may have been bought locally at Hubacher Cadillac of Sacramento if the license plate frame is correct) but having the blue and gold plates means it was from the 1970's. I am assuming if the frame is correct they just needed to replace them in the 70's due to lost/stolen/damaged plates?

-I unfortunately dont have a title for this car, it was last registered in 1985, so it is clear of the CA DMV system, so it will be sold on a bill of sale.

- the stainless trim is 90% or more there, there is a few boxes of extra parts that also go with the car, there are no hood hinges.

-The tires are in very good condition, the brakes don't work except for the e-brake, I have not inspected to see what is wrong with them. Could be anything.

-this is still a project car, a very solid start to a Kustom, cruiser, rat rod, hot rod, lowrider, or what ever you want it to be.

Off-road Cadillac Escalade adds some extra bush country capability

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

So, you're a dyed-in-the-wool General Motors fan, but like the notion of a machine like the Hennessey Velociraptor. We have good news for you. Behold the Aria Coachworks XPLORE Cadillac Escalade. For a modest fee, Aria will outfit your Escalade with a custom suspension, BF Goodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around aluminum wheels, a Warn winch and a special exhaust. There's even a snorkel option for those of you with aspirations toward deep water crossings. Consider yourself warned, however: unlike other GMT900 SUVs, the Cadillac only has an all-wheel drive system, not the more rugged four-wheel drive setup of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon). Outside, the luxury SUV gets matte paint, black chrome trim, XPLORE power running boards and a roof rack system.
The interior also receives a few fun changes as well, but we're more interested in the fact that buyers can snag a power roof top tent. You know, in case you need to camp out at Best Buy for the PS4. There's also a matching camp trailer and, our personal favorite, a matching BMW GS motorcycle. Bikes not your bag of tricks? That's fine. Aria will also sell you a matched Airstream trailer or Old Town wooden canoes. As much as we want to hate this, we love the notion of bashing through the woods in a $100,000 Cadillac battlewagon with our GS in tow. Check the press release below for more information.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
