1958 Cadillac Sedan DeVille extended deck model. I am moving in July and need to sell it ASAP. Reasonable reserve and will remove to meet close bidders!
This 58 caddy is a multiple trophy/award winner at shows. True and original survivor car. Original paint in most parts (some respray may have been done but matching job must have been done expertly, so you can't really tell), original interior and carpet, original 365ci 310hp 8cyl engine - all in excellent shape for a retirement-aged car. Recently new carberator, drum brakes, battery. Brand new starter/solenoid. Solid straight car with great metal. Only 72,291 miles! Speedo works, trip meter works, wipers work, odometer works, horn works, headlights work, reverse lights work and blinkers work. Power windows work, though you should be cautious with the front driver's side and guide it down at first (sometimes it sticks up top). Power antenna and original AM radio both work. No trunk rot, no floor rot - a rust free car. I drive it every weekend in the nice weather, and it will start right up for you after months of not using. Always passes inspection with ease. This is a real gem - even the headliner is immaculate. The negatives? Not many, and they're minor. Some parts of the paint job (one rear driver's side quarter panel and part of driver side roof) look like they have lost a bit of their shine, but very minimal and I think a detail job or a good thorough waxing will bring it up to par. Small ding in rear bumper chrome. A few spots in rear chrome are foggy. One or two very small trim pieces around rear headlights have some pitting in the chrome. Occasional lifter noise but an oil change to straight 30 and some marvel mystery oil or lucas oil stabilizer should do the trick. Occasional oil drip from the rear main seal - but I haven't had to add oil in the two years that I've had it. Power seat needs a new motor (electric is fine). One particular 9 amp fuse for interior lights occasionally blows out. Gas gauge is hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (mostly it doesn't). Likely a problem with the in-tank float. Rear seat has some stitching undone between leather and fabric - not ripped, only lack of thread or sewing string. Last would be that it probably could use a new or refurbished neutral safety switch. Sometimes I need to jiggle the shifter up and down before turning the key, but that's rare. It's an honest car, with nothing to hide. Frankly it is incredible; you will turn heads and grab the attention of everyone you pass. There aren't many others like it around. Big beautiful and elegant fins. I love it but I'm moving into Manhattan. I've owned the car for almost two years, but I have a neat and organized binder of all the receipts and service slips, motor manuals and cadillac shop books/literature from the two prior owners as well. For more PICTURES and VIDEO please contact me directly or go to my photo website or youtube page: vintod photography dot com slash 1958cadillac -or- youtube dot com slash vintod I typically show it on Saturday evenings at the Bob's / McDonalds in West Islip on Sunrise Hwy, and also Sunday mornings at the old OBI parking lot, if you happen to be local. I will not be responsible for shipping, and payment will be by wire transfer into a dedicated account or by cash in hand. Thanks for your time, and good luck bidding! I hope it goes to a good home. |

How GM's grueling 24-hour test gets the kinks out of its performance cars
Tue, 27 Aug 2013One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner - like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example - undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.
We've posted on this topic in the past - on a video showing the Camaro ZL1 being brutalized, for instance - but this article gives a more in-depth look at what actually happens behind the scenes... including what that poor ZL1 went through. Though the test isn't for 24 hours straight, the cars are pushed as hard as possible by some of GM's best drivers with only the brakes and tires replaced frequently.
We don't want to ruin the fun for you, but it is an interesting article that tells just some of what GM does to develop its sports cars. Check out the full article over at Car and Driver for the rest of the story.
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
