I am selling my 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille convertible. This is a beautifully restored classic. It has a brand new Starfire White Pearl paint job with all rechromed parts, including the bumpers and all grille pieces. The dash was and bumpers were completely taken apart and rechromed as well. The grille pieces were all sand blasted and powdercoated for protection and a very clean look. It still has all of the original pieces and emblems that were also rechromed. The convertible top is brand new with all new cylinders, switch, pump and hoses. It has a brand new windshield and all the other glass is there with no cracks. The interior is two tone white and black with new carpet kit throughout, new cushions, and door panels. There are brand new 20 inch rims with new 245-45-20 tires. Brakes are 100% redone including all 4 wheel cylinders, 4 hoses, master cylinder, bearing, shoes and resurfaced drums. Also has 4 new shocks and this classic just got an alignment. I also put in new U-joints which is a three piece. The engine was completely gone through and repaired- New fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets including powder coated black valae cover and air filter housing. All new belts, power steering hose, rebuilt carburetor, rebuilt water pump, all new fluids and new battery. The transmission was 100% rebuilt ORIGINAL! Also has new wiring harness.

Only TOP OF THE LINE work done on this classic!

This car runs and drives great! It needs a couple little things to be 100% finished but nothing major. The wiring harness needs to be ran to the brake lights and headlights. Also the back window switched are new and work great but the chrome on the glass frames in the rear weren't rechromed. The driver side multi switch dosent work but you can still get the windows up an down because they still have power going to them. The pigtail is wired and ready to just plug in the switch for that issue! the other moldings and pieces left to finish the look of the exterior, and the rechromed parts for the steering wheel. You can tell in the pictures the minor things that need to be finished. I have over 40k into this car and hate to sell it but I have no choice.

I have had many classic cars and this is one of my favorites. I am not selling this classic because of any problems with the car, I just don't have the space for it anymore.

HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK!!

Cadillac toned down ATS Coupe design due to customer feedback [w/poll]

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Automakers always face a difficult decision when it comes to styling their cars. Design them too blandly and nobody will get excited about them. But style them too aggressively and they'll often end up turning off potential buyers.
Cadillac, for its part, is no stranger to aggressive design, but when it came to the new ATS Coupe, it elected to tone things down a bit. Speaking with The Detroit News in a wide-ranging interview, Cadillac design director Bob Boniface revealed that the original design for its compact coupe was edgier - closer to that of the CTS Coupe - with a wedgier profile, a more steeply raked beltline and a more severe grille. But potential customers surveyed in clinics apparently didn't like it. They found it looked heavy, inefficient and not fun to drive. So Boniface and his team literally went back to the drawing board and "took as much visual mass out of the car as [they] could." The resulting coupe, while handsome, looks far more similar to its four-door companion than did Cadillac's CTS.
What do you think, does the new ATS Coupe look just right, or is it too conservative? Voice your opinion in our quick online poll.

Cadillac boss says small SUV 'at least four years away'

Sat, Jan 24 2015

Since Johan de Nysschen's takeover as brand president, there's a lot of buzz around Cadillac. Now, the brand's leader is now giving a little more clarity about when we might see some of the company's future vehicles, including its compact crossover. "Product development life cycles being what they are, I don't have a date in mind but I would estimate it is at least four years away," said de Nysschen about a small Cadillac CUV. The comments were made to Reuters during the Washington Auto Show. The vehicle is part of Cadillac's eight-model, $12 billion reinvention through 2020. Interestingly, de Nysschen told Autoblog at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show that he estimated the compact luxury CUV to arrive by early 2018. The boss also indicated that Cadillac would get a sedan to slot below the ATS some time in 2017, and the previously spied SRX replacement, possibly called the XT5, would debut in 2016. In the meantime, the company's flagship CT6 is being unveiled at the 2015 New York Auto Show in April. The wait for a luxury compact CUV makes Cadillac one of the later entries into the segment. The space is already filling with vehicles like the BMW X1, Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC. Small crossovers in general seem to still be growing in sales. While building a better brand in the US, de Nysschen also wants to grow Cadillac in Europe in the future. He told Reuters that he wants diesel vehicles ready for 2019 to appeal to customers there. Some might even be offered in the US. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Scott Olson / Getty Images Design/Style Cadillac Crossover Diesel Vehicles Luxury de nysschen

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
