1963 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe De Ville on 2040-cars
Year:1963
Mileage:81171
Color:
Location:
Temecula, California, United States

Extremely nice 1963 Coupe that looks as if it has been restored, but it's all original. The paint presents itself as if it were factory new and is original. The interior has slight carpet fading on the transmission hump, but the rest of the interior is near perfect. We bought this car from the original owners for our collection, but making room for a '59 convertible that we acquired. The Caddy has always been a southern California car and has been garaged its entire life. The original owner was a LaSalle Club member and frequented the Pebble Beach car shows. We bought the car from his estate.
Exterior The sides of the car are laser straight with no history of rust or damage repair. There are no door dings or dents. The paint has a mirror like finish as expected. There are no dings or cracks in the windshield and the remainder of the glass is perfect. The chrome is perfect with no flaws or patina. All bright work is perfect. Equipped with 17" knock-off true wire wheels that are showing some aging (minor surface rust) in the internal spokes. I have not attempted to polish the wheels. The tires have less than 800 miles. All lights, blinkers, hood blinkers and markers work as they should. No fading of the lenses. There may be one small rock chip to the paint just above the grille. The grill is perfect. No waves in the body hood or deck lid. Interior No cracks in the leather or dash pad. The seat fabric has no checking or failure in the stitching. The badging, bezels, steering wheel, all dash components present as if new. I have never seen an unrestored car that does not have some bubbles or imperfections in the chrome, etc. All interior lighting works (all door courtesy lights work), power windows work as they should except the driver's rear has to be helped up if rolled all the way down. The clock was taken out and the points were cleaned and the unit was oiled correctly. Amazing to see the clock components with no hint of corrosion or age, so now the clock works perfectly. All gauges work as they should. Glove box light works. A high end CD stereo is mounted in the glove box and sounds amazing (has iPod terminal). The original radio works but is disconnected from the speakers (because of the stereo connection) and the power antenna does not work all of the time and needs assistance at times. The power seat functions up and down and reclines forward and backward, but the main movement forward and back does not works. The switch is fine, the motor operates, but the seat does not move. I have not investigated but suspect a gear problem. Seat belts in the front, but not in the rear. Mechanical The motor starts and runs perfectly with less than 82,000 original miles. No smoke and maybe a very minor drip from time to time. The motor has never had any work, for instance the valve cover gaskets are original. Power steering and brakes work perfectly. All suspension components have been maintained as they should. The transmission shifts flawlessly. This car drives down the highway just as well as our 2010 Suburban (although the brakes are not near as good, but there are no vibrations or shimmy at 70-75 mph). There are absolutely no rattles with this car. Looking under the car is amazing. The rear coil springs actually look new with no hint of surface rust under the car. The floorpans are perfect. There is no evidence of repair or modifications under the car and it looks consistent with the condition of the remainder of the car. Once again, the motor is quiet, starts easy, accelerates as it should, never runs hot and seems flawless. I have not detailed the engine bay; it is original and dusty. Summary We never expected to sell this car, but circumstances dictate. We have the original owner's manual. I always see folks claiming to have the nicest unrestored '63-'64 Caddy in the country, but I truly believe this one is a candidate. I have to say that if you are not satisfied with this car upon purchase, that I have no problem buying it back (just ship it back to me and I will fully refund your money). I do not want to sell to anyone that is not satisfied and does not enjoy it as we do. I welcome inspections at our home in Temecula, CA (60 miles north of San Diego). Robert at 951-506-3572. |

The Beast 2.0: What the 2016 presidential election winner will ride in
Thu, Aug 11 2016The current presidential limousine, which is referred to as "The Beast," will be altered for the next President of the United States. Our photographers managed to capture the vehicle testing. " The Beast 2.0" will follow closely behind the current presidential limousine that's built upon a rugged commercial truck chassis and has a sedan-like body. Instead of wearing styling details from the now-retired Cadillac STS, the new presidential limo appears to borrow looks from the latest Escalade and the CT6 sedan. The bomb-proof prototype is wearing LED headlights, has a more angular grille that features Cadillac's wreathless crest, and ditches regular antennas for a shark fin unit. Other than these changes, the Beast 2.0 should still be able to house seven passengers and have enough protection to be one of the safest vehicles on the planet. The prototype looks like it's higher off the ground, as well, which should help the next president to avoid an embarrassing moment. There's no word on whether the Beast 2.0 will be ready in time for the next president presidential inauguration in January, but our photographers report that GM recently stepped up its testing for the limousine at its Milford Proving Grounds.

It's going to cost $12 billion to fix Cadillac
Wed, Apr 1 2015The Cadillac CT6's development predates Johan de Nysschen taking over at Cadillac, but the forthcoming flagship is the luxury brand's first major new product launch since the beginning of his tenure. The vehicle's debut also marks the beginning of a comprehensive $12 billion renewal plan bringing eight new vehicles in the next five years. Now, the former Audi and Infiniti exec is talking about joining Caddy and the company's future. "Cadillac will be a powerhouse global luxury brand that will command the respect of its peers," de Nysschen said about the forecast state of the company in 2020 to Bloomberg. He disclosed that three of those new vehicles under the five-year plan would be crossovers and reiterated that plug-in hybrids are on the way that would take advantage of the Chevrolet Volt's tech advances. De Nysschen also reminisced about joining Cadillac last year. He told Bloomberg that leaving Infiniti wasn't an easy decision, and there were apparently long conversations on the phone with General Motors President Dan Ammann discussing strategy for the luxury brand. De Nysschen was apparently clear that a greater investment and more autonomy from the corporate mother ship were vital. These days, the revitalization of Cadillac is just getting rolling. The company has a swanky New York office with a dedicated team to focus on the future. According to de Nysschen, the brand will grow its staff to around 150 people by the end of the year, compared to over 40 now. The marketing plan is to position the American luxury brand as a more distinctive product versus more common German rivals. It's going to be very interesting to see if this new Caddy can dare greatly enough to accomplish these lofty goals.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
