1957 Cadillac Series 62 Used To Fix Eldorado ( 1955 1956 1958 Sabre ) No Reserve on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Maryland, United States

1957 Cadillac Convertible Series 62 Original Black Car Paint Code 10 Unreal Body with No Rot (The car in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts) This car is a very solid and desirable car. A good friend of mine had a mint condition 1957 Eldorado that was burnt in a fire. He wanted to restore his burnt Eldorado, and purchased this excellent Series 62 to pull some parts. The Series 62 was a running and driving car that was 100% complete in 2009, but is now stripped, and just a shell of what it used to be. I have been waiting to purchase this car, and since I have a Cadillac scrap yard, I was able to gather a lot of parts in anticipation of receiving it. Unfortunately, I have too many other projects and I can't go forward with this one. Instead, I am offering it on eBay with no reserve and can eventually help someone restore the car with the parts I had originally gathered. Pieces that I had gathered include some of the stainless trim pieces that are rare. Some are from the Eldorado that burned and may some windshield trim has a "smoke stain", but they can be flash plated and are fortunately not warped or bent. These parts are very rare, so plating the smoke stained parts are one of the few routes to take with this restoration. As stated earlier, the cleanest parts went to the Eldorado show car. I have a Cadillac scrap yard with parts ranging from 1950-1964. We have tried to add in as many parts as we have here. Please call for more details anytime 301 672 1000. If the car is not paid for within 72 hour of the end of the auction, it will be for sale at Carlisle and Hershey car shows. One of the main challenges for the new owner of this 1957 Series 62, will be finding a rear speaker, rear view mirror, the sun visor brackets (repo on EBAY), and the rear interior panels that hold the ash tray right and left) reproduction from Classic Fabrication out of New England. Key points of the car:
Engine: It ran in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts. We have not started the car. The carb was not with the car so we set a correct carb core on the manifold. Body: Super solid. We do not see ANY rust on the trunk, floors and rockers. One the best I have ever seen. The BODY IS UNREAL. Interior: The back seats are very rare. They came from the Eldorado that was burnt. The top and bottom are in good shape, and were not rusty before the fire. For the front seat, I have nice tracks and side covers for the bottom with the switch. I have 2 sets of backs, I have a marginal seat bottom and center arm rest. The dash pad needs redone, and the cluster is set in and not the original cluster from this car but reads 38.XXX miles. It's not pitted, and the front door panels are original red pieces to the car. We do not have the rear interior panels, but they are available. Also you can make them We have the right and left UPPER interior trim for the rear, as they are hard to find elsewhere.They are screwed in. Doors: The doors are 1958 doors i put on the car, as I did not have nice 57 doors. I am including some rough doors from a 1957 that have the Convertible only vent windows and would be good to keep for a model for assembly.I may get some 1957 nice doors I primed the ones on the car and realized they were for 1958. Transmission: It is original. Windshield Trim: We have all the trim except the sun visors and brackets and rear view mirror assembly. Some was scorched by fire and will need to be flash plated as they are very rare and you will probably not be able to find others. I even have the small stainless in the center that acts as a cover. Most people loose this part. Side trim: It is nice but one of the long strips has screws on the driver side. I will include another one for spare. Convertible parts: The top frame is from the burnt car and was never rusty. It is amazing shape and set in the car , This series 62 has a 4 piece snap pinch well trim that is very nice. Rear quarter windows and regulators are included with tracks as pictured as well as some hardware. Some rare convertible parts that will be included are pictured below:
No rust under hood lip. Thin molding is nice R & L Beautiful inner rockers 1958 doors primed in error, please call We can assist with world wide shipping and transport for a fee.

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way. Related Video: GM Paving Way to Smarter and Safer Driving at All-New Active Safety Test Area 22 crash-avoidance technologies offered on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models MILFORD, Mich. 2015-07-24 – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will offer 22 different active safety technologies across their 2016 model year U.S. lineups, ranging from driver alerts to those that automatically intervene and assist the driver in critical situations. Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
Cadillac Elmiraj has production potential
Tue, 20 Aug 2013There are many reasons to love the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept, but not the least of which is how production-ready this big coupe appears to be. Take out the overly fancy interior and a few conceptual elements of the exterior, and this looks like a coupe that could be in dealers now as the successor to the Eldorado.
On top of that, Automotive News is quoting Bob Ferguson, Cadillac senior vice president, as saying that a production version of this car is "very doable." AN adds that if the Monterey showstopper gets the green-light, this car would compete against the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and would based on Cadillac's upcoming rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan due out in 2015. The range-topping coupe would debut sometime after the sedan model. Cross your fingers.
