1955 Cadillac deville series 62 hardtop coupe CALIFORNIA CAR custom rat hot rod


-I am selling a 1955 Cadillac series 62 Hardtop 

- car runs and drives but needs fuel tank checked out. When I got it, it had a 1 gallon fuel can in the front supplying fuel to the motor along with an electric fuel pump wired into a toggle switch

-this is a cadillac motor but not sure which of the 2 sizes it is for sure, from what I can tell there are 2 options: 331 or 365

-car seems to be very solid with only very minor cancer starting. Along the very back of the trunk there are a few small holes, and there is a 2 inch section of the lower passenger 1/4 panel that is starting to show cancer

-the interior is in excellent shape, the seats and door panels were redone, and nice carpet, the headliner is still intact and the dashpad is still very nice

-the body seems to be very straight 90% or better, but the brown primer looks like it was put on with a brush, the black looks to be sprayed. But at least having primer on it has helped preserve the body

-the glass is in good original looking shape but the front windshield has been scratched and has a chip or 2 in it

-This has been a California car for at least 40+ years (it appears that it may have been bought locally at Hubacher Cadillac of Sacramento if the license plate frame is correct) but having the blue and gold plates means it was from the 1970's. I am assuming if the frame is correct they just needed to replace them in the 70's due to lost/stolen/damaged plates?

-I unfortunately dont have a title for this car, it was last registered in 1985, so it is clear of the CA DMV system, so it will be sold on a bill of sale.

- the stainless trim is 90% or more there, there is a few boxes of extra parts that also go with the car, there are no hood hinges.

-The tires are in very good condition, the brakes don't work except for the e-brake, I have not inspected to see what is wrong with them. Could be anything.

-this is still a project car, a very solid start to a Kustom, cruiser, rat rod, hot rod, lowrider, or what ever you want it to be.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?

Cadillac recalls 17,500 SRX CUVs in Canada

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

When reporting on recalls, Autoblog generally tries to focus on the US market. However, a recent campaign in Canada seems important enough to be worth mentioning because it could eventually affect American drivers. General Motors is repairing 17,481 Canadian examples of the Cadillac SRX from the 2010-2015 model years because of the possibility of a loose nut in the rear suspension. For the moment, the automaker hasn't yet announced whether the CUV in the US would require a similar campaign.
The notice was dated September 18, 2014, on the website for Transport Canada, similar to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US. It says, "the rear suspension toe link jam nuts" might not have been sufficiency tightened, which could allow a rear wheel to turn "inboard or outboard" while driving. If this happens, it could cause a sudden change in handling. Canadian Cadillac dealers are inspecting the parts and replacing the toe link if necessary.
This campaign isn't listed on the GM's running recall tally from September, which includes exported models, but it does list four other campaigns for the SRX this year - three in this range of years and one for the 2004-2006 model. Autoblog reached out to the company to ask about the possibility of this recall expanding to the US and were told "We have not publicly announced US recalls" for the issues affecting the SRX. The New York Times was given a similar quote. Scroll down to read the notice from Transport Canada.

Cadillac highlights craftsmanship in latest Escalade teaser videos

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Cadillac, in case you haven't heard, is unveiling the new Escalade on October 7, completing the redesign of General Motors' large SUV range. The event is proceeding with the regular degree of "teasers" and "leaked images" that is typical of the automotive world, nowadays.
As the new Escalade's reveal date grows closer, Cadillac is trumping up interest for the new SUV, debuting five short teaser videos on its YouTube channel. While not showing much about the Escalade itself, the spots reveal plenty about its materials. Real wood and hand-stitched leather are highlighted, while we get another glimpse of the Escalade's vertically oriented headlights. Take a look below for all five spots.
