Cadillac Castilan Station Wagon. Number 11 of 12 made in 1976 by Traditional Coach Works of Los Angeles California. 43k original miles and always garaged, no cracks on original dash, steering wheel (nor wood insert) , seats, etc. Paper work history shows it to always be a dry state car so rust is a not an issue.

These were the only station wagon conversions approved by Cadillac. They were the only ones that could be ordered ast a Cadillac dealer. Only. They were high option Fleetwoods from brand spanking new. The cost was $30,000 in 1976! Kuwait oil money wanted them and set up a shop in Los Angeles (Trad. Coach Works) for the purpose of export. Some were sold to Sammy Davis Jr., Evel Knieval, and this one possibly to Bill Harrah. The estate I purchased the car from lost the paper work but remembered the name not knowing who he was (I thought that funny). I have service papers dating far back from Reno, San Diego, and Palm Beach.

The interior is 100% original. The tuxedo grain vinyl top is original. Traditional Coachworks did a few custom features to the car when new (these cars were all custom ordered.) The high powered driving lights, chrome valve covers, support braces, and air cleaner in the engine bay were done. In the inside the painted metal surrounds around the windows were chrome plated instead of factory spray paint to match the interior color. The three extra buttons low in the driver's side of the dash operate the fifth horn (plus the four factory trumpet horns!), the driving lights, and one is auxiliary. Custom floor mats protect the carpet with the factory ones on top. Carpet is as new.

The car starts, idles, and runs without issue. The transmission shifts smoothly and the car lacks rattles vibrations, or undo wind noise. This was obviously a quality construction. Radio, heater, and air conditioning work. Auto dimming works, twilight sentinel works, power door locks, all power seat functions, and all lights inside and out.

I have been on E Bay for over one decade and have 100% positive feedback. I encourage an inspection, visual, and drive of this rare Cadillac. I have other pictures at my website at jimhaileyclassiccars dot com if you care to view. You may call me at 214 415 7373 if you prefer. This Castilan can be seen in Santa Fe New Mexico with an appointment. Thanks!

1975 Brochure pictures of Cadillac's offered by Traditional Coach Works. To the best of my knowledge they were only produced in 1975 and 1976. 12 were made in 1976 and I believe 15 or so were made in 1975. If anyone has more information please let me know.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Jay Leno welcomes a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V into the garage

Tue, Nov 17 2015

After checking out a multitude of classic cars and customs over the past few weeks, Jay Leno switches things up with a modern performance machine in the latest video from the garage – a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V. Leno is curious about Caddy's attempt to challenge the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S, and he takes a long, technical look at the sedan with chief engineer David Leone. Not content to just peek under the hood, Leno puts the CTS-V up on the rack to see what it packs underneath the svelte body. Once he gets the lowdown on the Caddy's engineering, it's time for a drive. Leno also flexes his interviewing skills while behind the wheel and gets even more info about the CTS-V's capabilities from Leone. He seems fairly impressed, but Leno's most entertaining question about the 640-horsepower sedan is whether it can do a burnout. He provides a definitive answer to that at the end of the clip.

It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader.
