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). |

Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
Cadillac V-Series Academy comes to Las Vegas [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013General Motors has added another high-speed education course to the curriculum at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert track already hosts the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School with Chevrolet Corvettes, including the ZR1, and they've just added the Cadillac V-Series Academy.
Open now, the one- and two-day performance driving school teaches "the finer points of high performance driving" using the 556-horspower instructional aids known as the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon. This is different than than using the CTS-V at the Monticello Motor Club on the east coast - that's part of a sponsorship deal that Cadillac has with the track. The driving course at the Motorsports Ranch is its own program that was developed by Fellows, and we have no reason to think the Cadillac edition won't be just as thorough and enjoyable as the one with Corvettes.
Unlike the 'Vette edition, however, it doesn't appear that you get an invitation to the program if you buy a CTS-V model. Classes are capped at 12 participants and run $1,295 for a single day, $2,295 for two days. There are a video and a press release below with more info.
Meet the other Cadillac wagon. It's as American as ABBA
Tue, Aug 16 2022The Cadillac CTS Wagon became a cult classic the second it went on sale. We all knew that it was never going to sell in anything approaching significant numbers, and if that "we" didn't include those actually working at GM, one would have to wonder what they were smoking. Cadillac was still having a hard enough time trying to convince people that it was now a BMW-fighting sport luxury brand rather than the purveyor of Grandpa-piloted land yachts. To many, a sport sedan like the CTS seemed like a stretch. But a CTS sport wagon? It sure seemed like GM was just doing things for funzies, an impression only enhanced by the CTS-V Wagon. Forget cult classic. That thing was an instant legend. And yet, the CTS wasn't the only Cadillac of that era offered as a wagon. It wasn't even the first. Before GM said "to hell with it, let's have some fun" on this side of the pond, over in Europe, it had already taken a page from its old badge-engineering playbook to create the 2006 Cadillac BLS Wagon. It was available as a sedan, too, but its awkward majesty is best enjoyed as the long-roof model. There's just something off about the whole thing, right? That's probably because it also looks vaguely familiar, as if you've seen it before. So where the hell does this thing come from? Sweden! Behind that Cadillac Art and Science face is a Saab 9-3, and in the case of the BLS Wagon, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi wagon. The roofline is the dead giveaway, as no other wagon has ever looked like that. In fact, the roof and windows were the only exterior elements to copy directly over from 9-3 to BLS. No kidding. With the Cadillac front end, doesn't the Saab-funky-boxiness make it look like a miniature hearse? The answer is yes. GM's design team, led by Ed Welburn, was quite pleased with his work. Perhaps it even egged him on to create a real Cadillac sport wagon? "The whole team was very excited to apply Cadillac's design language to a wagon for the first time," said Welburn in a press release from the time. "The V-shaped chrome-plated grille, a Cadillac hallmark, is picked up again by the shape of the rear window, and the body side character lines make it unmistakably a Cadillac." The interior is surprisingly different from the 9-3, including the ignition switch migrating from the center console up to the steering column. It also wasn't exactly in keeping with the Cadillac norm of the time.
