|
LaSalle Classic Cars proudly presents this totally restored 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham! LaSalle Classic Cars is specialized in high quality American cars of the forties and fifties. We are located in the Netherlands, Europe, near the Amsterdam Airport.
This 1957 Eldorado Brougham is in like new condition and is complete with all the vanity items! Body number 155, in the original color of Deauville Gray (paint 118) with a lovely new interior by SMS fabrics in the factory correct Bayou Gray Cloth and White Leather (Trim 138), the carpet is "Mouton" (sheepskin). This Brougham was fully restored in Sweden and is complete with all the original vanity items that belong with this particular Brougham! A unique Cadillac as the experts know. For many it is the ultimate Cadillac! There are only 704 of this first series made in 1957-58. Equipped with all possible options then available, including; a 325 hp dual carburettor V-8, a stainless steel roof, memory seat, power everything (even the vent windows and trunklid!), air conditioning, transistor radio (for the first time, instead of tubes), cast-aluminium wheels, automatic starter system etc., etc. All these features are in working condition! These Broughams featured a problematic air suspension when new but like most Broughams this car has long since been converted to coil springs. The new price was astronomically high; $ 13,740. In comparison, a Ford Fairlane Sedan would cost you only $ 2,200. So you could buy 6 for the price of a Brougham! The so-called "vanity items" associated with the Brougham consist of the following: 6 magnetized drinking cups with a cylindrical plastic holder, a plastic case for cigarettes, a beveled vanity mirror, a notepad with Silver Cross pen, a bottle of Arp`ege by Lanvin perfume with gold atomizer top and a lady vanity case made by Evans. The vanity case was especially made by Evans for the Cadillac and features the famous Cadillac "V" on the outside and has the same color leather as the top of the dashboard. Inside you’ll find a comb, lipstick holder and powder puff. The notepad and mirror are stored in the rear armrest compartiment and are therefore color keyed to the upholstery (in this case white leather). The Brougham runs and drives great! It is extremely difficult to find a properly restored Brougham, let alone find one with all the original vanity items complete!! This is truly a unique opportunity for the enthusiast /collector!

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.
2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)
Cadillac to ditch China-only LWB models for global 'right size'
Sat, Mar 26 2016We often think of Buick being General Motors' poster child in China, but would it surprise you to hear that Cadillac is just doing a bang-up job in the People's Republic? It's true, the Standard of the World is on fire, and it's doing so with a surprising group of buyers that are going to push through globe-spanning changes for the brand. Cadillac's average buyer age in the People's Republic of China is just 34. Yes, younger buyers dominate the Chinese market, but according to Reuters, Cadillac's young buyers want to drive and they don't want the typical businessman's German-badged sedan. Cadillac understands this, and is setting about to exploit it with a shift in its Chinese strategy. According to President Johan de Nysschen, the company will begin moving away from the China-only, long-wheelbase models, like the ATS-L. Instead, it will push for a global "right size" design, along with some stylistic changes. "You will see a softening of some of the hard edges, and more three-dimension styling on the side of the car," de Nysschen told Reuters, while noting that the cars will still be "instantly recognizable as Cadillac." Even without these changes, though, Cadillac has bucked the trend in China. At 17 percent, the company's sales exceeded the PRC's overall market growth of 7.3 percent by a significant margin. In fact, Cadillac's 2015 gains outpaced the overall market growth in China over the past three years, as the brand jumped to nearly 80,000 units. And the company is hoping to push that even higher, Reuters reports, with President Johan de Nysschen targeting a 25-percent increase in 2016. Related Video:
