Here in cheerful red and white an  unrestored all original well maintained 1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville. 5% not original are the chrome wire wheels which are off a 1953 Buick Skylark and the chrome trim on the fins were rechromed.   The chrome bumpers are excellent all original. Cadillacs of this era are known for pitting
by the window vents. As in photo mine are perfect and pit free.    Paint is factory original and very good. Some small chips on the doors but no dings and few on top
of fenders (from past servicing) and were touched up. Bias white walls on balanced rims. Also white wall spare on wire wheel, Full factory jack set and lug wrench.

All chrome dash is beautiful and pit free. Headliner perfect. Door panels, carpet, parcel shelf, seats A-1 with no missing buttons, no cuts or rips. Factory white leather. Power windows, seats, trunk,steering, brakes, and antenna working perfectly. Also working tube radio with dual speakers and working clock. Excellent heater. NO AC thank God ..makes servicing engine a lot easier.

Engine has new wires, plugs, points and cap. Compression is good. Runs on regular gas and purrs like a kitten. Dual exhaust and tight with no leaks. Transmission
changes smoothly and brakes excellent including foot brake. Rust free car. New shocks all around and new battery.

Im the 3rd owner. The previous owner of 35 years would remove small chrome parts and clean them with a tooth brush like chrome unit under wipers. Car ALWAYS parked in a insulated garage. There is nothing negative to say except don't wash the car in the sun. The original factory red paint will get water spots on hood and trunk and you will spend rest of the day polishing them out.

Im selling to downsize my car collection. Shipping across Canada is affordable. Shipping to U.S.A. is a bit more costly because $600 aprox for duty and
customs. However I will assist the buyer as best I can. I have more photos just go to questions at bottom of listing.

Payment $1000.00 deposit and balance within 7 days by Paypal or wired bank draft.   My feedback is 100% positive, I just sold my 69 Olds to a buyer in Florida .
  Car is located in Vancouver area of B.C Canada. Car has clear title.

To view this exact Cadillac listed here on YouTube just  type this in search box    VID 00000011 1957 Red Cadillac This was       shot in summer 2013.  Car is leaving
 the Chevron gas station ( note $1.39 litre gas ) and you will hear the motor and transmission doing its job around town. After two minutes I turn on the tube radio. As I proceed home I climb very steep hill. Any clicking is the turn signals. Any bouncing is my Blackberry Tablet camera sitting on dash.
  I have a low reserve. The car is for sale locally so I remove the listing for local buyers HOWEVER ebay rules state listing cannot be pulled once the reserve is met and I will honour it.  This time last year my 1957 Cadillac 4 dr and my 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood both went to Saudi Arabia.

Shipping rate for Canadians MVS Canada seems to have the fairest rate and positive feedback on Facebook. They quoted me Vancouver, B.C. to Montreal, Quebec
$1700. You can get a fast quote from them 1 888 756 7447. I should mention the wipers work too good but would not stop so the vacuum line disconnected . The
 cable and control froze up. A common problem some 57 Caddy's and 58 Buicks. I have like new working cable and control that goes with the car. Since I never
 drive in the rain. Some times I use RainX product which works well.

GM lays off 450 at Lansing Grand River Assembly

Mon, Dec 8 2014

General Motors will lay off 450 employees at its Lansing Grand River factory, The Detroit News reports, which is 100 more than the company said it'd be letting go last month. Lansing Grand River Assembly currently builds the Cadillac ATS and CTS, both of which have suffered sluggish sales, with the smaller sedan down 20 percent through last month and the larger model down 2.3 percent, The Detroit News reports. "We are adjusting plant production capacity to better align with market demand. Beginning in January 2015, the plant will operate on a single shift," a GM statement read, before explaining that not all the laid off Grand River employees will be jobless. Of the employees that have been laid off to make room for the single work shift, around 200 will transfer to the Lansing Delta Township factory, home of the Lambda-platform crossovers, GM's statement confirmed. The News expects this one-shift arrangement to continue until at least late next year, when the Alpha-platform Chevy Camaro transitions from General Motors' Oshawa, Ontario factory to Lansing. Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen said at last month's LA Auto Show, "It may not necessarily be permanent, a time may come when we've gained momentum and we can reinstate it. But for now, the adjustment to production capacity is in alignment with our plans for 2015."

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Johan 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."

Meet the mother-daughter team that's worked on almost every Chevy Volt

Sun, May 11 2014

It's Mother's Day, and we're soft enough we love our mothers enough to share a new video from General Motors with you. In it, we meet Monique Watson (left) and Evetta Osbourne, a mother-daughter team that works at the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly where GM makes the Chevy Volt (along with all of GM's other plug-in hybrids: the Opel Ampera, Holden Volt and Cadillac ELR). The two work side-by-side and have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on almost all of those vehicles - nearly 80,000 of them - since GM started making the pre-production Volts in 2009. In a prepared statement, Watson said that she likes working next to her mom, day in and day out, and they the two are totally in sync when it comes to putting the 400-pound, 16.5-kWh packs into the vehicle undersides. They two can also share stories throughout the day, and Watson said, "The arrangement has absolutely improved our relationship." Osborne started working at Detroit-Hamtramck in 1999, Watson since 2006. If you're driving a Volt today, you probably have them to thank for doing a bit of the work putting your car together. See a short video of them in action below. It's Always Mother's Day for Detroit-Hamtramck Duo Mother, daughter install lithium-ion battery pack in nearly all GM electric vehicles 2014-05-08 DETROIT – For Detroit resident Evetta Osborne, every day is Mother's Day. That's because she literally works side by side with her daughter, Monique Watson, at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. They have installed the lithium-ion battery pack on nearly every Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera, Holden Volt, and Cadillac ELR since production began. In fact, apart from vacation days and an occasional sick day, the mother-daughter duo has installed almost every battery pack since the Volt was in pre-production in 2009. The ELR launched earlier this year. All told – including Ampera – that's more than 80,000 electric vehicles. "We're a good team and our relationship is secondary when it comes to performing our jobs – but it's great to work alongside my daughter, said Osborne, a mother of five. Because the battery packs weigh more than 400 pounds each, automatic guided vehicles – robotic carts that use sensors to follow a path through the plant – deliver them just as the vehicle body structures glide into position overhead. The carts then lift the T-shaped packs, and Osborne and Watson guide them into the chassis and secure each one with 24 fasteners.
