Here we have 2, yes count them, TWO 6-window 1960 Cadillac 4 Door Deville Pillarless Hard Tops. BOTH of them have straight bodies and are survivors. BOTH of them are solid restoration candidates. BOTH of them have solid chrome trim with no missing pieces. I am on the fence between building one REALLY good one out of them and parting the rest, or letting someone else have this project. Why?? - because it will take me forever - I just don't have enough time to work on these right now, and my money is tied up. Otherwise I would just hold onto them.

The white one is a Coupe DeVille with all the high class options. It runs well (no smoke or wierd noises, tranny shifts perfect...) it drives - see below. The grey one is a Coupe Calais (which is just a DeVille with less interior trim and crank windows) ...or at least that is how I think the models worked. Grey one is a one-owner car. Not that it matters much at this point.

Here are the details on the white one. It has its original 390 V-8 (56,000 actual miles), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes (master brake cylinder not building pressure so brakes are not working), Power Windows and Power Seats. It basically was an all original car that the prior owner was driving on special occasions until he parked it 12 years ago. It needed some body work down low so he had that repaired and a paint job done back then. The overall outside of the body is decent. Some old repair on the bottom of front fenders and lower rear quarters showing. The bondo didn't like the storage and so it needs significant prep to get a good paint job on it. Drivers side inner rocker is rusted out and one of the floor braces between the 2 doors on the drivers side are rusted out. I cleaned out the original matting in the trunk. The floor is intact but is getting thin.

Roof has a small dent on drivers side. The hood on the car is rusty and is junk. Engine was hooked up to a boat tank (just in case the car's tank had dirt), cleaned the points and the car fired right up. Power steering works beautiful. Transmission goes in all the gears. Brakes will work once the master cylinder is replaced. It is not building pressure. If this is a concern for shipping we can get a new master cylinder and get the brakes working at an additional cost. The interior in the car is all intact and in good shape - see pictures. Two cracks in the dash pad, head liner is good and the carpets need to be thrown out. I tried the lights, windows and seat etc and everything worked. The radio is out of the dash and in the trunk (not sure why - but I was going to get a modern replacement) and front parking light housing trims. They are in nice shape. Five good wide white wall tires. Would be a great project 60's era car to fix up or an excellent car to part out.

Here are the details on the grey one. It has its original 390 V-8 (non-operable), Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Brakes. This car has been stored for 20-25 years now. The engine was stuck when the car was stored and has been pickled for at least 20 years now. It is a rebuild candidate, so a good core. The body on this one is completely unmolested. The rockers and lower doors show rust holes, but are easily patched since it is original paint and no bondo. The interior is out of the car and in good shape. The floors are rusted out and need new pans. Frame is solid. Bumpers are dented and have some rust outs.

For me the plan is simple: Strip and patch the body and frame of the grey car. Take the engine, bumpers and interior from the white one, put them in the grey one and paint it. In the end, you'll have a nice 30k restored Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Not only that, but you will make back the money spent on this auction just selling off the extra parts from this project here on eBay!

Act fast ;-)

GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.

Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.

Cadillac shows dealers convertible rendering

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Cadillac is getting serious about revitalizing and expanding its lineup, and to that end, a new report claims that brand boss Johan de Nysschen has been showing plans for several new models to the marque's dealer body - among them, a new convertible.
The droptop which Cadillac reportedly showed its dealers in sketch form, would be based on the same platform as the ATS and CTS, those it's unclear to which (if either) of those model lines the new convertible would be added, or whether the design features a canvas or folding hardtop roof. One way or another, it would be the first time Cadillac would offer a convertible since the Corvette-based XLR roadster was discontinued more than five years ago.
Quoting an unnamed brand spokesperson, Cadillac would "like to introduce an open car to the portfolio at some point," however, "it's not likely to be one of the near-term portfolio additions."
