years. It is a 3 owner car that has been in Arizona since 2008. The gorgeous original interior is the nicest I have ever seen in a car of this vintage.

The exterior on the
car is in totally solid and straight shape overall. The body on the car is
straight as an arrow and the car is finished in its original color of Code 16 Starlight Silver which has been repainted once. The car has several small chips on the driver side have been airbrush touched up, but other than that the paint is gorgeous. The car has been thoroughly inspected
top to bottom and all around and not a single spot of rust could be found! All
glass is ORIGINAL and crack and chip free. The rubber seals are all original condition and are still in
decent shape. The chrome and trim is mostly original and in good condition with
the expected minor discoloring on some of the stainless, but I just spent over $3000 re-chroming bumpers and light bezels. The interior is the highlight of this
Cadillac. The interior is all original from carpet to headliner and is like stepping into a time machine. The dash is in great shape and the original plastic, chrome and
stainless trim still retain a brilliant shine. The dash pad is perfect and
crack free original. Turn signals, lights, gauges, and all other switches are
working correctly. Everything in the car works as it should...even all of the interior lights are working as they should!
The trunk is also in very nice rust free condition. The original trunk mat and liners are present and in great shape! The original spare and jack are also on board.
Mechanically, this Cadillac runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts
smooth as silk. It really does not feel like a 50yr old car. The 429 V8 is very
strong and supplies the car with ample power. The carb idles well and was
just recently rebuilt. The cooling system is great and the car runs cool and
idles well. The brakes have been gone through and a new master cylinder was
installed. The A/C has also been gone through and works great! Please email or call with any questions and we can help with shipping quotes and arrangements.

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."
Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change
Mon, 29 Sep 2014
Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
