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. 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. Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money !

2017 Cadillac XT5 shows off its new metal in LA
Thu, Nov 19 2015Cadillac is in the midst of a comprehensive production overhaul, and few of its new arrivals will be as pivotal as the new XT5. Replacing the old SRX, the XT5 was revealed in the metal here on the floor of the 2015 LA Auto Show. Joining the new CT6 under Caddy's new naming scheme, the XT5 represents GM's assault on German competition like the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes GLC, Japanese rivals like the Lexus RX, Infiniti QX50, and Acura RDX, and its own cross-town nemesis, the Lincoln MKX. And to better fend off their advances, the new XT5 promises marked improvements over its predecessor in every way. The model you see here is, to our eyes, handsomer than the model it replaces, adopting the Art & Science brand's latest design cues. It offers a fresh cabin space loaded with the latest equipment. And it weighs a solid 278 pounds less than the outgoing SRX. Power still comes from a 3.6-liter V6, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel drive. 310 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque keep it going, which ought to help it keep pace with the competition. We're looking forward to seeing how it drives in due course, but in the meantime, you're invited to view our live photos from the floor of the Los Angeles Convention Center in the gallery above.
Cadillac exec realizes ELR pricing was stupid high
Thu, May 14 2015At least one Cadillac exec has finally started to come to terms with something we knew all along: the initial $75,000 price for the ELR plug-in hybrid was way too high. The bad decision in part led to the model selling just over 1,000 units last year. Company marketing boss Uwe Ellinghaus recently gave an interview to Bloomberg where he discussed what went wrong. "The MSRP was, indeed, a mouthful," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. "We overestimated that customers would realize our competitors were naked at that price." People balked at the ELR's price from the very start, and dealers were receiving $5,000 at one point just for getting customers to test drive the PHEV. Later, some incentives for buyers were as high as $14,000. Cadillac planners saw a conundrum when it came to the ELR's price. Too low of a figure was thought to bring the model close to the Chevrolet Volt, and $75,000 was also believed to signal Caddy's PHEV as something special. "We just wanted to make this a statement for the brand of how progressive we are," Ellinghaus said to Bloomberg. Cadillac is now working to rehabilitate the ELR's reputation with a host of updates for 2016. Buyers get a 25-percent boost in powertrain output, additional standard features, and the whole package comes with a $9,000 drop in price. The tweaks should help the luxurious PHEV make a better second impression. Related Video:
Cadillac expects major growth in China
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The 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."
