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. |

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Expensive Cadillac ELR at least comes with free Level 2 home charger
Tue, Jan 28 2014"But wait, there's more!" Anyone who's watched late-night television is familiar with the telltale phrase of a spokesman looking to reel in a potential customer who may otherwise be disinterested in what's being advertised. Now, General Motors, faced with selling the first Cadillac extended-range plug-in vehicle to a public that may find it rather expensive, is throwing in a bonus. In this case, GM will give away a 240-volt home fast charger to "early" buyers of the Cadillac ELR, including professional installation. How early? Well, we're not finding that information in the press release below, so it may be a moving target. Earlier this month, GM said it would offer the ELR for a 39-month lease for $699 a month for qualified lessees. The deal requires $5,999 down and GM originally said it would only be good until the end of the month (though we assume that could change). It's also an "ultra-low-mileage" lease that allows for only 10,000 miles of driving each year, before per-mile surcharges of 25 cents kick in. Last fall, GM set the base price for the ELR at $75,000, before government incentives get factored in. Like its Chevy Volt sibling, the ELR can go about 340 miles using both the electricity in the battery and the gas-powered on-board generator. Check out our ELR First Drive here. Cadillac Enhances ELR Buying Experience Early adopters to receive complimentary home charger and installation DETROIT – Cadillac is offering a complimentary 240-volt home charging station and installation to early buyers of the all-new 2014 ELR electrified luxury coupe. "The ELR's blend of leading technology with provocative design and fun-to-drive performance is set to bring new buyers to Cadillac and to electrification itself," said Uwe Ellinghaus, chief marketing officer, Global Cadillac. "Professional installation of the fastest home-charging unit is a natural way to mark the introduction of ELR to the luxury market." Cadillac is offering the ELR on an ultra-low-mileage, 39-month lease for qualified lessees at $699 per month with $5,999 due at signing after all offers. The Cadillac ELR offers a convergence of luxury, electrification and sporty driving in a premium coupe with dynamic design and an award-winning range-extended electric powertrain capable of 340 miles of total range.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
