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.

Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.

Cadillac ATS coupe and sedan get Midnight Editions

Sun, Jul 19 2015

Horror stories and fairy tales make a mint by having the scariest things happen at midnight, but automakers make a mint by marketing midnight. Chevrolet busted out a Silverado Midnight Edition early this year, followed shortly thereafter by an Impala Midnight Edition. In between those two we got the Cadillac CTS Midnight Edition, and now comes an ATS following in the zero-dark-thirty tradition, according to GM Inside News. The ATS Midnight Edition will add $1,695 to the sedan price and $600 to the coupe. For that cash outlay you get black chrome on the grille, around the windows, and on the rear fascia, 18-inch "After Midnight" wheels, "sueded microfiber" trim on the steering wheel and shifter, plus the Cold Weather Package with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Just those few exterior changes make a big difference up front, increasing the appeal and aggression of the sports sedan without being ostentatious. You can't go dark with just any old ATS, though. The package is limited to rear- and all-wheel-drive versions of the Performance trim. And the color palette is reduced to four hues: Crystal White Tricoat, Red Obsession Tintcoat, Phantom Gray Metallic, and Black Raven. The three possible interior combos are Light Platinum with Jet Black accents, Morello Red with Jet Black accents, and Jet Black with Jet Black accents.

Hear the new Cadillac CTS-V torture some tires

Thu, Dec 25 2014

The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V seems like the type of wonderful gift that Santa might cook up in his workshop for one extraordinarily good boy or girl. However, the first chance for most people to actually see the super sedan and its carbon fiber pieces in real life is at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January. As a stocking stuffer until then, Caddy has released this video highlighting the latest V-Series roasting its tires better than any dinner for the holidays. With the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 nestled into the CTS-V's engine bay, the Cadillac certainly has quite a bark coming from its exhaust. The mill might be detuned slightly from the 'Vette to 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque, but that's still plenty for this smoky application. Enjoy this tease of the future V-Series, ahead of the Detroit show.
