1959 CADILLAC ELDORADO BROUGHAM Older Restored

A perfect and Rare (only 99 built) investment to add to your fun and excitement while a rising investment in your portfolio. These cars are set to really take-off as so many rare low production classic cars have lately.

The 1959 Cadillacs were nothing if not extravagant, with big engines, posh interiors and even bigger fins. It was the ultimate fin treatment on Cadillacs, accented with matching front and rear grille treatments and immense chrome bumpers like the exhaust ports on intergalactic space ships. Fortunately one Cadillac in 1959 was much more restrained, even refined, the Eldorado Brougham hardtop. Its small, sharp fins foreshadowed Cadillac's redesign for 1960. Its expansive flanks were attractively creased but free from gaudy embellishment. A flat windshield that eliminated the knee-knocker encroachments of the rest of Cadillac's wraparound screens foreshadowed 1961. The Eldorado Broughams were bodied in Italy by Pinin Farina on Cadillac's standard 130 inch wheelbase chassis equipped with 345hp 390 cubic inch triple carburetor engines shipped from the U.S., then returned to Cadillac for completion at Fleetwood to customers' orders. The Eldorado Brougham's price of $13,074 FOB Detroit over a thousand dollars more than the median single family house value in the U.S. It's not surprising, then, that only 99 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Broughams were built, followed by 101 in 1960 when the model was dropped from Cadillac's catalog. Much more rare than the 57 or 58. In addition to being loaded with every available option and accessory in Cadillac's extensive catalog the Eldorado Brougham had rear door quarter windows that automatically retracted when the door latch was operated. It facilitated entry and exit, but even today startles those who aren't prepared for it. Current NADA shows the value of this car at --low-$74K, average $104K and High $168K--so you decide??

This peculiar brougham (body # 30) has had everything done--nut and bolt (Frame Off) as far as I can tell, by the previous owner probably about 10 years ago--The underside speaks to the detail of the restoration--as the body floor is properly prime coated and everything in order--as original! Looks like no expense was spared, this restoration in today's world would easily be over $100K--All the windows for example were disassembled and all frames rechromed--example as the hard stuff to do--Dash top replaced --It still rides on original air suspension and after sitting for awhile it will settle down--Purchased Main valve rebuild kit to be done--otherwise it pumps right up after a short idle. Everything works but the new gas gage always reads full--mechanic trying to sort that out. AC engages and works but needs recharging. Chrome very nice-- Always starts right up and runs and shifts perfectly--looks like only 495 miles since restoration--

Cadillac HQ has a New York address

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.

Comparing Cadillac's crazy classy coupes

Wed, May 6 2015

I just returned from the press launch of Cadillac's new ATS-V, a high-performance version of the US luxury marque's entry-level compact car. While ordinary ATVs offer a choice of a 202-horspower, 4-cylinder, a 272-hp turbocharged four or a 321-hp V-6, this one packs a twin-turbo V-6 that pumps out 464 thoroughbred horses and 445 pound-feet of hard-charging torque. Starting at $62,000 for the sedan and $64,000 for the sexy coupe, ATS-Vs are available with a 6-speed manual (with Active Rev Matching and no-lift shift capability) or an 8-speed automatic with steering-wheel shift paddles. They comes with GM's latest 4-mode Magnetic Ride Control, 5-mode Performance Traction Management (with launch control), competition-spec traction and stability controls, an electronic limited-slip differential, specially-tuned electric power steering, huge Brembo brakes, and added air cooling for their engine, transmission, and rear axle lubricants. They roll on 18-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport tri-compound summer tires on 9-inch-wide front alloy wheels and 9.5-inch-wide rears. And they will rocket from rest to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds while delivering 16 city EPA miles per gallon and 24 highway with the automatic and 17/23 with the manual transmission. The obvious purpose of all this technology is to effectively endow Cadillac's latest V-Series models with a rarely achieved true dual personality: go, stop, and corner like race cars on a track, then sooth, coddle, and entertain like luxury cars on the way to and from the track, or work. We had ample opportunity to verify both personalities with multiple hot laps of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Grand Prix course, followed by a more leisurely drive on public roads near Austin, TX. Even lacking wheel-to-wheel comparisons, we believe these hot new ATS-Vs are fully competitive with their pricier German competitors, and probably superior in some ways. So now, Cadillac will offer not one but two very sharp-looking, upscale, small-volume, 2016 compact coupes, almost the same size and at similar prices, but with totally different missions: this new high-performance ATS-V and the soon-to-be-upgraded ELR extended-range EV. The key question: why? Aside from its cramped back seat and ridiculous $76,000 starting price, I loved the ELR when it was introduced for 2014.
