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.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.

Cadillac to fight Audi A3, Mercedes CLA with small rear-drive sedan?

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Compact luxury sedans are fast becoming the trend among upscale automakers. Mercedes has the new CLA (and its many platform-mates), BMW has the 1 Series and 2 Series, Audi has the A3 and, though Lexus apparently isn't interested in anything smaller than its CT 200h, Infiniti is getting in on the action with a compact model of its own. It would only follow logically, then, that Cadillac should launch a competitor, and according to the latest reports, that's just what it has in store.
Speaking with Car and Driver, Cadillac marketing chief Uwe Ellinghaus confirmed that such a project is in the works. But unlike its rivals, Cadillac aims to go with a rear-wheel-drive layout. This despite research that apparently indicates that a surprising 80 percent of owners think that their BMW 1 Series is front-drive. It's the driving dynamics and styling proportions that motivate Ellinghaus and his colleagues to stick with rear-drive, however.
The new model would in all likelihood be based on the same GM Alpha architecture that underpins the ATS and CTS - a platform that has helped Cadillac keep the weight down on both models and which is expected to underpin the next-generation Chevy Camaro, as well. The sub-ATS could be positioned as a four-door 2+2, however, as the ATS grows a little larger in its next iteration in order to make room for its new baby brother.

Combine a self-driving car with V2V, and here's what happens

Sat, Dec 12 2015

Transportation engineers have started laying the groundwork for a traffic world in which cars communicate with other cars and infrastructure like bridges and traffic lights. How about an environment in which cars talk to pretty much everything and everyone? In a preview of its offerings at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, Delphi Automotive will deploy just such a concept. Engineers have designed a system that communicates with traffic signals, street signs, pedestrians, cyclists, even to fry pits and parking garages along a driver's route. To date, engineers and researchers across the auto industry have focused on the technical and safety-oriented foundation of future vehicle-to-vehicle communications, which could help cars share information about everything from traffic tie-ups to upcoming road hazards. Beyond those building blocks, many have projected that V2V could also include more consumer-focused features. Delphi's system, dubbed V2Everything, might be the first that combines those sorts of features in a tangible package. At CES in Las Vegas, scheduled to begin the first week of January, company officials say they'll demonstrate in real-world conditions how V2V technology can be used in an autonomous vehicle to provide a range of critical safety information and leisure and convenience options for riders. The first V2V technology installed on a production car is slated to appear on the 2017 Cadillac CTS. "We imagine a world with zero traffic accidents," said Jeff Owens, Delphi's chief technology officer. "To get there, we will need a convergence of active safety, sensor fusion, connectivity platforms and advanced software." Such software might allow a vehicle to start searching for and reserving parking spots at a programmed destination long before arriving. It could allow riders to place their McDonald's drive-through order from the road and have the food ready for pickup along the route. For the drive itself, the Delphi-equipped car can stay updated on the status of traffic lights around Las Vegas, and can anticipate yellow and red lights. Using smart-phone technology, the car can detect pedestrians and cyclists that may otherwise be hard to see. It can send messages to friends or family to notify them of a driver's location. Some of those features have been available on third-party apps or individually developed by automakers. But this system marries them together in a single system that is tailored for use in self-driving cars.
