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. SEE VIDEO HERE SOON: Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 18 Jun 2013While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.
