1956 Cadillac El Dorado Seville Pop Art Car By Tony Halme Aka "heiko The Cry" on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
NEVADA CLASSIC CAR DEALER #40339, VIN # 5662026G5G1, True Mileage Unknown
A private art
and vintage Cadillac collector is making available a one of a kind 1956
Cadillac Eldorado Seville Coupe Model 6237DX that is a stunning pop art car.
The car has always been in climate controlled storage and maintained by
professionals. All records, manuals and files are included. Before the art was
applied the basic white car used as the "canvas" was found in Austin, Texas. The car is now located
in Las Vegas, Nevada. The current Nevada
license plate reads "Fin Art". (The artist was from Finland and this
car sports fins!)
This stunning work of pop art was the only vehicle hand painted in oil and sealed by wild wrestler, politician, EDM music pioneer and Finnish pop artist Tony Halme aka "Heiko The Cry". It is signed, sealed and in excellent condition. The auto was painted in Los Angeles in the very early 80's to depict the "Cry of the Universe" at that time. It was rumored that it took a month to paint and features a chrome Oscar award on the center hood flanked by two chrome flying pigs on the front fenders and floats on purple lighting. There is a powerful PA system built in with multiple digital horns and a microphone for announcements. It has a CD system, mirrored disco ball and many fun themed accessories. It is a guaranteed attraction and popular photo opportunity with all ages and artists alike. The acclaimed
maverick fighter and pop artist died in
2010. The auto had toured the nation as part of
a Scandinavian pop arts showcase and has been featured at the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and Vans World of Skateboarding in addition to numerous auto publications
and display events. An English shoe artist hand made one pair of shoes that copy the paint scheme. They are size 9 and are a rear show stopper when displayed or worn with the finned auto. There are also five custom "hippie" vests made from the same material used in the custom headliner and back seat pillows. There were only 3900 of this model Caddy produced in 1956. The large V8 high performance engine has 305 horsepower and dual "batwing" Carter carburetors. The auto is in solid and reliable mechanical condition. It runs on premium fuel. The odometer shows 58,000 miles but for a car of this age, we should say true mileage unknown. This 1956
Eldorado is a rare investment in pop and automotive art that will return
public, media and promotional attention along with sheer fun to any owner,
retail display or institution.

GM recalls 3.8 million vehicles in North America due to braking issue
Wed, Sep 11 2019WASHINGTON — General Motors Co said Wednesday it was recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and that has been linked to 113 accidents and 13 injuries. The recall covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles. In late June, GM recalled 310,000 vehicles in Canada for the same issue. GM did not immediately explain why the Canadian recall occurred more than two months before it called back the vehicles in the United States. The recall was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted on Wednesday. The NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue last November, and said it had reports of nine related crashes and two injuries. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. GM said it could affect braking in "rare circumstances." The NHTSA said in a statement the "vehicles may experience brake boost failure, which would require increased brake pedal effort, leading to a hard brake pedal feel, and potentially increased stopping distance." GM said dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module to improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Separately, GM said on Wednesday it is recalling 270,000 additional U.S. vehicles in three smaller recalls, including 177,000 2018 Chevrolet Malibu cars with 1.5L turbo engines because an error in the engine control module software may result in the fuel injectors being disabled.
Seventies super-salesman challenges new car-sales record
Wed, Feb 21 2018Some of the fondest memories from my youth were the Sunday afternoons spent walking between rows of new and used cars. This preceded the advent of widely available internet, so the cars didn't sell themselves online: A tentative buyer had to come see the cars in the metal, with old-school salesmen taking well-earned smoke breaks after putting someone behind the wheel of a new Saab 900. All-inclusive subscription services were unheard of. If you open a Guinness records book and look up car salesmen, you'll find Joe Girard. The definitely old-school Detroit salesman regularly sold over 1,000 new cars per year, with a particular high point of 1,425 cars in 1973 guaranteeing him a mention in the Guinness book. To reach that kind of sales figure, you had to be a pretty special salesman, and Girard was. He didn't take breaks unless absolutely necessary, and even his lunch hours were dedicated to selling more cars instead of shooting the breeze with other sales persons. By 1977 he was worn through, having sold over 13,000 cars in his career, and his physique couldn't take it anymore. He's been a motivational speaker since. Now, 44 years later, a Dearborn, Mich., Cadillac and Chevrolet salesman named Ali Reda has reportedly broken Girard's record. The books at Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac say Reda sold 1,530 new cars and 52 used cars in 2017, averaging 130 vehicles per month. But after Girard, 89, heard of the sales record, he called his attorney, not letting his record be broken without a fight — or at least an audit. The Dearborn dealer isn't too concerned about Girard's doubts, at least according to Gary Stanford, whose father founded the dealership. "It's very official, trust me," said Stanford to the Detroit Free Press. "Ali is the hardest worker I've ever seen. And if someone doesn't believe the data, well, they're more than welcome to consult with GM. It's all there in black and white." What Girard doesn't get is that Reda was honoring him with the accomplishment. "I read his book, 'How to Sell Anything to Anybody,' and it said it would teach you how to become the best," said Reda, who at age 44 was a newborn when Girard hit his peak. "He's an absolute legend in the industry. Your whole career, you're chasing his name.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
