Stunning Silver 1970 Deville Convertible Up For Auction, 77k, Under 2k On Drivetrain, NO RESERVE 472 V8, 77k original miles on car, under 2000 miles since mechanical restoration. This is the last year of the Deville Convertibles, it's got a nice combination of silver paint and black leather. The Caddy got a new drivetrain in 2011, about 2000 miles since motor and tranny rebuild. Since I never intended on selling this car, I did everything with the intention of doing it once and doing it right. I spared no expense during the mechanical restoration. The suspension, steering, electrical, fuel, exhaust and all drivetrain components were all either completely rebuilt, tended to as necessary, or improved. When I got the Caddy the original motor wasn't bad, just tired and the tranny was leaking. I wanted to build my Dream Cadillac Convertible so I looked for one with a black leather interior (not easy) and preferably with paint that's not green, brown, baby blue or yellow. I got lucky and found one in Southern California with not just a beautiful black leather interior but with fairly new metallic silver paint. The Caddy was originally more of a light gray, the paint is a modern metallic silver. I don't like using the word "restored" because people define it differently. Mechanical: Engine rebuild including new motor mounts, newly painted engine bay, new radiator and hoses as well as externals (generator/regulator, power steering pump, fuel pump, carburetor, etc) as well as all gaskets (exhaust manifold, intake, etc). Transmission rebuilt at the same time, under 2000 miles on engine and transmission. I dressed up the motor a bit, I put on a chrome air cleaner and valve covers, I will include the freshly painted original air cleaner and valve covers or put them back on the car if requested. All the internals of the engine are stock. When the engine was rebuilt the Caddy got a full exhaust system from the engine back, everything done right, all pipes welded, it's nice and quiet. The entire brake system was redone as well, lines, calipers, rotors, cylinders, hoses and the booster was painted along with the engine comprtment. She got new front end parts including springs, idler arm, ball joints, bushings and shocks as well as a set of new Goodyear tires, the steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. I had the gas tank removed, cleaned and painted as well. The A/C compressor was not put back on the engine after the rebuild, that was the last thing to be done (they were waiting on some replacement a/c parts) but I wanted the car back and never got around to it. I was going to put it back on and get the A/C working this past summer but I ended up just leaving the top down and the boot cover on. The A/C did work before the rebuild, it actually still had the old freon and while it needed a charge, it still blew cold air. I will include the compressor and any parts not put back on, they're all boxed up. The top motor or switch quit towards the end of the season last fall, I haven't looked into it, it's easy to put up and down by hand. The power windows all work well. The 472 feels nice and strong, it's one of the best Cadillac motors ever. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the leather overall is in excellent condition, even the driver's seat does not show wear. The door panels, rear panels dashboard / dash display, headliner and visors are in very good original condition, no cracks, tears or missing parts. I replaced the faded original carpet with a fitted correct syle carpet off Ebay. The convertible top was replaced when the car was painted about seven years ago. It has a glass back window and a nice leather look boot cover. The underside looks like new, does not even show surface rust. All floors and trunk solid under the carpet, the Caddy has never been hit or had any kind of body repair and the chrome shines nicely. The weatherstripping around the windows and in the trunk is all new. She's never been out in the winter, she's always been a "Garage Queen". I'm only selling the Deville due to urgent financial circumstances as you can see from the lack of a reserve price. I've got more invested in the Caddy than any other classic I've ever owned, the mechanical restoration was the type done with the intention of driving the car for a long time. The photos you see are a combination of some quickies I took last spring for a photo shoot and the interior shots were taken on a movie set this past September (the movie is called "The Love Club", coming out in late 2014 or early 2015). I don't expect to get back what I've invested (we never do, I know), I just hope she goes to someone who will appreciate and take care of her. I hope I can another Caddy like this one when I'm ready get another. Engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks, the garage floor is always dry when I pull her out. She cruises nicely on the highway, 375 horsepower 472 V8 moves this big girl up the highway with ease. She idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, brakes evenly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an classic American cruiser should. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Deville is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to door auto shipper if you need one. Classic Caddy which is as much a pleasure to drive as she is to look at. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

This '59 Cadillac is now on display at Toyota's museum in Japan
Tue, Dec 20 2016The Toyota Automobile Museum is different from a lot of other automaker collections in one very interesting way: It doesn't focus solely on Toyota's own automobiles. While the home team is certainly well represented, the love is spread to plenty of non-Toyota brands and vehicles that are significant to automotive history. And that permanent collection now includes the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible you see here. Yes, the '59 Caddy has the biggest tail fins ever, which makes it measurably significant. You still wouldn't expect to see it in a museum in Japan, though. After updates to the facility and its exhibits finish early next year, the 67-vehicle collection will also include such greats as a Renault 5 (known here as the Le Car), a '64 Ford Mustang, an Audi Quattro, a first-gen Honda Insight, and a Lotus Elite. Someone over there has good taste. You can visit the Toyota Automobile Museum the next time you're in Nagakute City, which is right outside Nagoya. We're booking our tickets now.

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men
Tue, Apr 7 2015The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
