No car demands attention like the beautiful 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. In stunning glass-black paint with new black and white interior, the most desired color combination, this car is a true classic.

A recent frame on restoration has just been completed including:

Paint -- The car was stripped to the bare metal and primed with Dupont 6155 Variprime self-etch primer. It was then coated with three coats of 33430 Dupont high build primer, sealed with 42470 Dupont sealer and then painted with Dupont Chrmopremiere black base coat. It was clear coated with three coats of Dupont 72500. I then sanded and buffed to a glass finish. This paint job is very high end with laser straight body work.

Interior -- All new black molded carpet. The seats were covered in original "black-silver" fabric from S&S Fabrics. All new foam and burlap installed into the seats. This black and white interior looks and feels classy.

Glass -- The glass is all original and in excellent condition. All of the power windows work excellently.

Weather Strip -- All weather strips are new from Soft Seal. This includes the ones in the trunk, doors and roof rails.

Engine Compartment -- The engine compartment is nicely detailed and original. The original 390 engine runs great and has a new water pump. All of the engine fluids have been changed.

Trunk -- This has the original float mat, cardboard siding, spare tire, and jack assembly. The trunk floor is covered with 3m black, sound-deadening pads.

Exhaust -- The exhaust is all new with aluminized pipe running through X frame.

Stainless Steel Molding -- all have been removed from the car and polished to excellent condition. New molding clips were used to attach them back on to the car.

Frame -- This is solid and in fantastic condition.

Chrome Bumpers -- These are all original and in driver condition. They shine nicely but have some minor aging to them. Chrome door handles and mirrors are brand new.

Fender Skirts -- These have new rubber moldings and have been repainted as well, although they were not on the car at the time of the pictures. They fit nicely and add to the overall classiness of the car.

AM Radio -- This does work well, but the power antenna does not work.

Tires -- These are all new 15 inch radial.

Lights -- All work inside and out, including the turn signals.

This 1959 Cadillac is a true collector's car and a great investment. For further questions, please contact me at (937) 605-1816 between 9:00am-9:00pm ET.

Full payment of cash or wire transfer is necessary before the car is given. No scams, please, I do not have time! Only serious buyers, no tire kickers and no traders. You are welcome to inspect the vehicle in person by appointment only. The car is located in Springfield, Ohio and will be sold only as is/where is. The buyer is responsible for the pick-up.

This is a very rare opportunity to get a car of this quality. Thank you for your interest.

2017 Cadillac XT5 shows off its new metal in LA

Thu, Nov 19 2015

Cadillac is in the midst of a comprehensive production overhaul, and few of its new arrivals will be as pivotal as the new XT5. Replacing the old SRX, the XT5 was revealed in the metal here on the floor of the 2015 LA Auto Show. Joining the new CT6 under Caddy's new naming scheme, the XT5 represents GM's assault on German competition like the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes GLC, Japanese rivals like the Lexus RX, Infiniti QX50, and Acura RDX, and its own cross-town nemesis, the Lincoln MKX. And to better fend off their advances, the new XT5 promises marked improvements over its predecessor in every way. The model you see here is, to our eyes, handsomer than the model it replaces, adopting the Art & Science brand's latest design cues. It offers a fresh cabin space loaded with the latest equipment. And it weighs a solid 278 pounds less than the outgoing SRX. Power still comes from a 3.6-liter V6, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel drive. 310 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque keep it going, which ought to help it keep pace with the competition. We're looking forward to seeing how it drives in due course, but in the meantime, you're invited to view our live photos from the floor of the Los Angeles Convention Center in the gallery above.

Jay Leno welcomes a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V into the garage

Tue, Nov 17 2015

After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
