1956 Cadillac El Dorado Seville Pop Art Car By Tony Halme Aka "heiko The Cry" on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
NEVADA CLASSIC CAR DEALER #40339, VIN # 5662026G5G1, True Mileage Unknown
A private art
and vintage Cadillac collector is making available a one of a kind 1956
Cadillac Eldorado Seville Coupe Model 6237DX that is a stunning pop art car.
The car has always been in climate controlled storage and maintained by
professionals. All records, manuals and files are included. Before the art was
applied the basic white car used as the "canvas" was found in Austin, Texas. The car is now located
in Las Vegas, Nevada. The current Nevada
license plate reads "Fin Art". (The artist was from Finland and this
car sports fins!)
This stunning work of pop art was the only vehicle hand painted in oil and sealed by wild wrestler, politician, EDM music pioneer and Finnish pop artist Tony Halme aka "Heiko The Cry". It is signed, sealed and in excellent condition. The auto was painted in Los Angeles in the very early 80's to depict the "Cry of the Universe" at that time. It was rumored that it took a month to paint and features a chrome Oscar award on the center hood flanked by two chrome flying pigs on the front fenders and floats on purple lighting. There is a powerful PA system built in with multiple digital horns and a microphone for announcements. It has a CD system, mirrored disco ball and many fun themed accessories. It is a guaranteed attraction and popular photo opportunity with all ages and artists alike. The acclaimed
maverick fighter and pop artist died in
2010. The auto had toured the nation as part of
a Scandinavian pop arts showcase and has been featured at the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and Vans World of Skateboarding in addition to numerous auto publications
and display events. An English shoe artist hand made one pair of shoes that copy the paint scheme. They are size 9 and are a rear show stopper when displayed or worn with the finned auto. There are also five custom "hippie" vests made from the same material used in the custom headliner and back seat pillows. There were only 3900 of this model Caddy produced in 1956. The large V8 high performance engine has 305 horsepower and dual "batwing" Carter carburetors. The auto is in solid and reliable mechanical condition. It runs on premium fuel. The odometer shows 58,000 miles but for a car of this age, we should say true mileage unknown. This 1956
Eldorado is a rare investment in pop and automotive art that will return
public, media and promotional attention along with sheer fun to any owner,
retail display or institution. SEE VIDEO HERE SOON: Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car. Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money !

What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?
Tue, Jun 28 2016Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.
2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Tue, 14 May 2013General Motors told us so back in March, but it is now official: The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 announced for the 2014 Cadillac CTS will also join the options list for the 2014 Cadillac XTS. The LF3 engine puts out 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in the XTS, however, which is 10 hp and 61 lb-ft down from its application in the CTS. It will be identifiable from the outside by a specific grille treatment and a badge on the decklid. The 3.6-liter V6 with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft holds steady as the standard engine, and both will be yoked to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Also new for the front-wheel drive model for 2014 are updates that include electric power steering and optional Automatic Parking Assist that can maneuver the sedan into parallel parking spots. The three trims above standard - Luxury, Premium and Platinum - get Intellibeam headlights that automatically switch between high- and low-beam,
The four current trim levels remain but the list of optional extras for the higher specs grows with a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with DVD screens in the front seatbacks, memory settings for the front passenger seat and an armrest in the back seat fitted with radio and sunshade controls. The press release below has more info on all of the changes.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
