Cool 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Convertible Parade Car Up For Auction With NO RESERVE

89k original miles, 390 V8. Options include power windows, power steering, power brakes, power bench seat and "Autotronic Eye". I bought the Caddy two years ago in from the son of an older gentleman in Pennsylvania who owned it since the early 80's. I've put about 2000 miles on the Caddy since I've had it.

Mechanical: since I've had the Caddy I've done a few things to make it a dependable driver. I've replaced the power steering pump, new muffler and pipes, new radiator (it was sent out and recored, that job alone was almost $700), new valve cover gaskets, installed a new generator, new battery, new belts and hoses and a full tuneup. I will include lots of extra parts, including a new brake booster and an additional set of door panels. The glass was removed from the doors when the roof was done: I have the complete set, tinted glass, no cracks, including the brackets and lift arms, they'll be in the trunk. The transmission has developed a slight drip recently, I haven't looked into it, I just add fluid when necessary. The linkage for the tranny needs to be adjusted, reverse is all the way to the right and sometimes you have to move the shifter into reverse a couple of times before it engages. The power seat stopped working last summer, I'm not sure if it's the switch or the seat motor. My mechanic told me the engine was probably rebuilt at some point, no noises from anywhere, even when starting her up after sitting for a month or two.

Cosmetic: the Caddy got new paint in 2005. No bodywork was necessary, the Fleetwood is solid through and through, never rusted, never hit. At the same time the roof was professionally removed with all the cut areas upholstered in padded vinyl. People generally think it's a real convertible until they notice it's a four door. To be clear, the Caddy has NO ROOF. I have a perfectly sized tarp with bungee hooks I will include that covers the top area, it's withstood heavy rain without a problem when necessary. All the doors close easily. The seats were reupholstered in velour at the same time the paint was done. The original radio still works through the dash as does the power antenna. A modern radio is mounted under the dash, with 6x9 speakers on the rear deck as seen in the pix, it sounds great. The chrome and brightwork is in pretty good original condition, no pitting, the bumpers shine nicely. The rear bumper has one small dent near the center as seen in the pix. The underside is as clean as the rest or the car, floors, trunk and frame are near spotless. The driver's floor had a square of heavy sheetmetal put in to cover a small soft spot, the rest of the floor pans are rock solid. The previous owner told me he spent over $3000 on the paint job and customization alone. The paint could use a good compounding. I had the door panels redone by an upholstery shop in pink and black, they look like new. I also put in new original style black hook and loop carpet. Dash has no cracks. I have the original windshield wiper arms and metal wiper blade holders in the trunk, I took them off for a cleaner look.

All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work, even the cool fender indicators. Cruises nicely on the highway, holds the road perfectly, 325 HP 390 V8 moves this big girl easily up the highway with LOTS of power. The Caddy tracks straight and brakes evenly, no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly and the suspension is luxurious. Overall, drives like an American classic luxury car should.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy 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 it. You can see the Fleetwood in a couple of movies coming out in the next year or so: "Blood Ties" and "Zero Stress", the Fleetwood appearing in multiple scenes in both. I recommend registering the car with your local "Picture Cars" company; it's hard to find early 60's convertible Caddies and this looks like the real thing. I've probably got over $9000 into Caddy; I never planned on selling her, but at the moment I need the cash more than the car. Lots of fun to drive, she's a really cool cruiser.

Nice custom Caddy which is as much fun to drive as to look at! Be prepared for waves and honking. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230

Cadillac expects major growth in China

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US sales issues facing Cadillac are not being paralleled in the People's Republic of China, as a new report from Automotive News indicates the US luxury maker should see its sales increase by as much as 40 percent.
The report cites Cadillac's own forecasts, which put its 2014 sales in the PRC at 70,000 units after cresting 45,000 vehicles at the end of August. Provided the sales pace holds true through 2015, the brand would hit its new 100,000-unit sales goal, AN reports.
"We're very optimistic about the luxury market, we believe that the luxury market by 2016 here will become the largest luxury market in the world, surpassing even the size of luxury in Europe," GM China President Matthew Tsien told AN. "With [Cadillac president] Johan [de Nysschen], we have somebody that really is an executive that understands luxury, but he also is very, very keen on understanding what do we need here in China for Cadillac to be successful."

Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.

Next Cadillac CTS-V confirmed for Detroit

Tue, Dec 16 2014

As a car enthusiast, you should be excited for the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Hell, we can barely contain ourselves – it's shaping up to be a great show. And this bit of news only heightens our expectations Â– Cadillac will be bringing its third-generation CTS-V to January's North American International Auto Show. That bit of high-performance news has been confirmed to Autoblog by Cadillac officials. In fact, we've received an official invitation to the brand's press conference, and while the latter is light on information, it does say, "it's time for the V-Series to elevate to the next level." Considering our last experience with the CTS-V, we're not sure what there is left to elevate, although we're hopeful that Caddy will come up with something. What that could be, of course, is very open to speculation. When the last CTS-V debuted in 2009, it arguably outgunned Germanic challengers like the 500-hp BMW M5 and 518-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG for a lot less money, boasting a detuned version of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's 6.2-liter supercharged V8. Could that trend carry on, with the next CTS-V borrowing the supercharged, 650-hp mill from the new Corvette Z06? If escalation is the name of the game, the Z06 engine would seem to once again allow Caddy battle it out on firm, big-booted footing with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Of course, all will become clear on the morning of Tuesday, January 13. Like we said, we can hardly wait. Related Video:
