1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville 2drht. Az Car. Great Body. Very Very Good Project. on 2040-cars

Year:1959 Mileage:33000
Location:

1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.  Excellent project car.  Previous owner had this car sitting in his backyard in the heart of downtown Phoenix for about 30 years.  Last registered in Arizona in 1974.  I was planning on making it a driver and doing the interior but don't have the time to focus on it.

This Caddy has a great body.  Very cool sun-burnt patina paint.  The floors and trunk are super solid.  There is some minor rust above the fender skirts, the very lower right qt in front of the rear bumper and signs of possible older repair on the lower front fenders.  Overall there is very very little rust repair to do on this Arizona car.  The chrome is very good original.  The bumpers are straight and rust free (including the bumper ends).  The trim is complete and in good condition.  I don't believe it is missing any trim or chrome.  The hood is sitting loose on the car, but the hood hinges are there.  The tires are brand new.

Power windows, power seat, AC, etc.  The interior is completely shot from the brutal Arizona sun.  The dash is disassembled but is complete.  The windshield and windshield gasket are new.  All other glass is good except a crack in the passenger side door glass.  The trunk is full of parts including; radiator, ac condensor, starter, generator, trim, buckets of hardware, etc.

The engine and trans are missing but I have a 390 and tranny available that were removed from a running 1962 DeVille for an extra price.  I work for a restoration shop and can have the car worked on before being picked up if desired by the new owner (make running and driving, brakes, interior, paint, etc).  We ship containers with cars and parts from our shop in Phoenix headed to Sweden every month so I can arrange shipping to Scandinavia easily.

It is rare to find a '59 Cadillac coupe in this condition any more.  This is a great car to restore, or if you have a rusted convertible they don't get much better for parts.  Please email with questions.  A deposit of $1000 is due within 48 hours of the close of auction.  The remaining balance is due within 10 days.  The car is advertised for sale so the auction may end early (I will not close the auction if the reserve is met).

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.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
