Offered for sale is my 59 Cadillac Eldorado that has undergone the most meticulous restoration with over 3500 hours of painstaking attention to detail. It is a numbers matching car with all of the power options that Eldorado's were known for including power windows, power door locks, power trunk release and pull down, power vent windows, 6 way seat, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, power antenna, autronic eye, fog lights, Cadillac Q engine with tri power carbs, fully rebuilt air ride suspension. Every single part has been carefully cleaned and re-plated, re-upholstered, chromed, rebuilt, painted or polished to perfection. Nothing has been overlooked down to the smallest part that you cannot even see and I have tried to restore the car back to be totally original with a number of minor enhancements that cannot be detected unless I pointed them out. The car is currently registered, drives great and is a real head turner. I have receipts for over $230K so this gives you some idea of the extent of this incredible restoration. I have accumulated quite a collection of manuals, parts books, brochures, cd's etc, and a 5 layer car cover which will go with the car. If you are looking for the best, then you will not be disappointed. I have been asked several times about the materials used in the restoration and the differences that are unique to Eldo's. The interior leather is the correct Cardiff and Florentine grain metallic blue with the correct seat buttons. Gorgeous. The padded vinyl roof is the correct colour and grain Vicodec material as fitted from the factory. The headliner is the correct pattern vinyl in light blue with matching sun visors. The trunk area has the correct colour lining material for the padded floor mat as well as the sides and spare wheel cover. It even have the proper thatched material for the rear parcel shelf. That is a nice finishing touch. There are a few other Eldorado items to mention that are unique to Eldo's like the "lightning bolt" door lock knobs only for power door locks, rear trunk lip bar with the "Eldorado" script, 3 row rear grille, reversing light chrome "V"s, as well as the unique polished stainless side trim, and the Eldo only door trims that really look classy with the brushed stainless trim panels. These door trims have 3 courtesy lights in them, the rear one on the arm rest is red while the other 2 are the round white type and with the rear quarter panel lights, roof lights and dash light give 11 lights when the door is opened. It also has a 45 amp generator to keep the batter charged! Even the front seat is unique to Eldo's with chrome trim on the back and sides of the seat, along with map pockets and rear passenger knee pads. Other Eldo unique parts are the power brake pedal stainless trim and script, along with the stainless trim on the park brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. This is build number 216 out of a low total of 975 and first delivered to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I have the full build sheet details from Cadillac archives which lists every option that the car was built with and is very interesting. I can be contacted on +61 411 108 433 or email tpseddon@bigpond.net.au for any further information. Can assist with shipping if required. Well worth a look if you are serious and want the best. Vehicle is advertised elsewhere and may be withdrawn if sold prior to auction end. |

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump
Fri, Jul 21 2017The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.
Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."
