BELOW THE AVERAGE QUALITY VALUE.There is also an interesting back story to this car. This historical account has been passed from the second
owner, has been consistent over the years, and has remained with the car today. Fans know that Elvis Presley loved
Cadillacs, and he really loved flashy Cadillacs. He also made sure they were modified to his taste. Everyone has
heard the true story of Elvis and June Juanico flying to a Houston, TX. Cadillac dealer June 12, 1956, and buying
a white 1956 Eldorado Biarritz convertible with black interior. He immediately turned it over to his customizer,
Jimmy Sanders, of Memphis. He squashed a handful of grapes on the fender and told Jimmy that was the color he
wanted. Hence, his purple convertible came to be. He also changed the interior to white roll and pleated leather.
The coupe in this ad, according to verbal history, was purchased and given by Presley to his manager, Colonel Tom
Parker. The car was an unimpressive green and white with green and white interior. Presley bought the car, then
stipulated that it be repainted red and white and a red and white interior installed. Later, Elvis also gave Parker
a 1975 Blue Cadillac Seville, that displayed the TN. license plate “ADMIRAL”. Clean southern body. Paint is good driver quality, some older and some newer blend work on the quarters. Mandan red
and alpine white two tone. Dual rear antennas. EZ Eye safety glass is in good condition. White sidewall tires and
Eldorado saber spoked wheel covers. Chrome and stainless is in good condition. Tasteful pin striping on hood and
deck lid. Fit and gapping is all good.
Red and white leather interior. Seats and cushions in good condition. Door panels in good condition. Interior
chrome trim is in good condition. Would clean up more with a little work. Original steering wheel is in good
condition, with a few cracks. Power windows. Air conditioning. Signal seeking radio. Autronic Eye headlamp dimmer.
Aftermarket tachometer mounted on the eye. Overall nice interior, comfortable, good looking, and well appointed.
365 Cu. In. Cadillac engine. Engine and engine bay are primarily in stock configuration. The exceptions- the Carter
WCFB carburetor has been replaced with an Edelbrock Competition Series four barrel. The bat wing air cleaner has
been replaced with a chrome pie pan type. Upgraded to electronic ignition. Dual exhaust. Hydra-Matic automatic
transmission.
Trunk area is clean and solid as a rock. Undercarriage is not detailed, but is also clean and solid.
This is the chance to own a car that most Cadillac enthusiasts would love to have. It is rare, unique, and
investment quality. Priced significantly under book value, leaving plenty on the table if you choose to do some
more restoration work. Runs and drives as well as it looks. Don’t hesitate.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub
Wed, 16 Jul 2014The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
