1958 Cadillac Coupe Deville Two Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
Napa, California, United States
|
This 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is fantastic. The color change from white to the deep red was done back in around 1980 and still has excellent gloss finish today. This restoration has had a lot of years and still shows like it was just recently done. The car was original white with rose interior. Now the red and white combination give it fantastic crowd appeal. The car was driven by the owner to many shows in through the 80’s. As he got older, he decided to pass the car along to the next caretaker. I was able to purchase the car from him for one of my car-guy buddies and it ended up being put away in the early 1990’s until now. So, it came out of being privately held and came to me to be gone-over, detailed and made ready for a new caretaker. I added the modern power brake booster conversion, rebuilt the brake system and pulled the engine apart to freshen it up. Heads were serviced with new valves and all the related engine parts checked, rebuilt or replaced. The headliner had some small damage so I replaced that as well. You can see the car looks amazing. My niece asked to use it at her wedding a few weeks ago. I drove it up to the wedding 60 to 70 MPH and it drove like a Cadillac! There are new tires on the NICE Saber Wheels. The spare in the trunk is not a Saber, but I MAY have an extra to include. The chrome and potmetal are nice- The front bumper upper ends have some small poor spots where the water settles when draining off the hood. LOOK CLOSE at photos! Exterior trim and emblems are very good, the rear trunk plastic insert is cracked. Look Close! Inside trunk is carpeted in red with the side covers also in red. And a spare tire cover in white. The original 58 Cadillac jack, wood wedge and jacking instructions are in place. Floors, chassis and rockers are the BEST I have ever seen on a 58! NO rust damage and NO repaired floors. Never undercoated! This is wonderfully original metal on this Cadillac. Original Air Conditioning is all in place, BUT I have not charged it to see if it works. YES< the compressor clutch works. This car was originally ordered with air suspension but is now on springs. All the windows work great. The 6-way power seat works fine. Heater works, clock does not. Antenna and radio—Good question! I need to go check these. I have MANY photos I am HAPPY to send. I also have a road-test video. I would like to have them here, but I don't know how to get them attached to my listing. Please ask for ANY details, I know how difficult it can be to come see the car, so I am very willing to send you ANY information or photos you would like to see. I know how some sellers make it impossible to get information from, not me—You ask, I provide. I sure would like to hang on to this one, but I already have so MANY cars, I don’t have time to enjoy most of them. I know this car has been put away far too long (not by me) and deserves better. I want to know it will go to a good active car-guy that will get it out and drive it as it should be. I do have the car advertised locally and have offers. But I want to be sure that all these guys have a chance and don’t want any hard feelings here, so I told them all they have to watch the listing and decide if they think the offers they have made are good enough for this Excellent 1958 Coupe DeVille. |

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM intends to offer semi-autonomous vehicles by 2020
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Prepare for a few years of technological saber-rattling, as the world's automakers begin pushing to bring self-driving cars to market. Earlier this week, Nissan announced that it aims to offer autonomous vehicles by 2020, while Google, BMW and several other marks are working on similar efforts.
General Motors is doing things differently, though. Rather than push for a fully autonomous car, it's continuing to refine its semi-autonomous Super Cruise, a product that we tested in April 2012 and that will eventually see use on some Cadillacs before trickling down to the rest of the General Motors family. Super Cruise, which is undergoing testing in the Cadillac SRX, doesn't take complete control out of the driver's hands. Rather, under a very specific set of circumstances on the freeway, it will marry the capabilities of things like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control to allow the driver to take their hands off the wheel. All of which sounds a lot like the system Mercedes-Benz is launching on the 2014 S-Class.
The system is still in development, according to John Capp, GM's director of electrical controls and active safety technology. Now that that the biggest hurdle, steering control, has been cleared, GM's engineers can focus on things like teaching the system to adapt to differing road conditions and visibility levels. As we reported in 2012, Super Cruise is still befuddled in low-visibility situations or when road markings aren't particularly clear.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
