This Coupe de Ville was an unrestored Alberta car, never been apart when I bought it. Beautiful glass, original interior. It's been 100% mechanically restored with new engine, transmission, radiator, complete electrical system, brakes, exhaust, tires, etc. Don't waste your cash on a repainted car that still needs everything mechanical...here is a rust free car that will last a lifetime.

It's had every bit of steel work done, replaced with handmade, perfectly fit panels; several body mounts, inner & outer full rockers, quarter bottoms, trunk drops, floors. It is 100% steel, zero bodywork, what you see is epoxied & painted steel only. Even the insides of the rockers were epoxy painted before assembly. POR15 entire bottom side, seam sealed inside and out. What wasn't replaced is still in the only paintjob it ever had in the 1960s, original color which is Chantilly Maroon w/Alpine White roof. 

The motor is brand new rebuilt by Precision Machine in North Vancouver, '57 365, .030 pistons from Egge Machine, 10:1 CR, factory 2x4 Eldorado cam grind, Edelbrock 1406 carb, pertronics elecronic ign, all new internally and externally, alt, starter, battery, carb, all new. Fresh paint on everything. Brand new re-cored radiator by Richardson Rad, all hoses and heater hose new. Bendstens adapter and re-built GM 700R4 OD trans, custom driveshaft, new U-joints. New custom 2" exhaust, shortened Smithys glasspacks, exits through bumper as factory.

All electrical is new, Painless deluxe kit, every bulb holder, wire, all charging system, all of it new, converted to GM 3-wire alternator. All electric windows work great. 
Fuel tank got the POR tank treatment inside and out, all new fuel lines & hoses. 

Blasted, epoxy & painted original rims, new Coker Firestone Deluxe Champion 8.20x15 WWW tires. Front suspension rebuild including trunnion shafts and kingpin kit, all new. 
The rear leafs were disassembled, cleaned, re assembled with poly spring liner, 4" blocks, 1 1/2 coils were cut from each front spring. New sway bar dogbones & bushings. It has a perfect 1/2 drop nose to tail, and not too low.

All new brakes, re-lined shoes, new components throughout, updated to GM 7" booster and GM drum/drum dual circuit master. New lines, flex hoses, wheel cylinders etc. Stops great, drives great, sounds great. Few dings in the side trim, few pits in the chrome. Drivers seat bottom a little shredded, not bad though. New carpet kit not installed, and some extra bits of stainless I've collected will go with it.

I'm forgetting all kinds of stuff, it's been a massive job. Clean papers, passed gov't mechanical inspection, turnkey ready to go. Asking price is only the dollar investment, not including approx 800 hours of labour!!! Email me with any questions, thanks!

    Cadillac ParkWhiz app helps avoid endless circling to find parking

    Sat, Jul 20 2019

    General Motors recently launched an app for its vehicles called Marketplace that includes various apps that let you order and pay for things from your car. The company is continuing to add apps to Marketplace, and the latest sounds quite useful. It's called ParkWhiz, and it will be available on Cadillacs. Basically, it lets you find and pay for parking from your car. In more detail, ParkWhiz will let you find parking in 250 cities. The app shows locations that have spaces available and which are full, along with prices for all of them. You can then select one and pay for it for however long you'll use it. You can even reserve parking in advance in case you're going to a busy event. The big benefit here is that you should be able to eliminate a lot of cruising around looking for spaces. That will save you time and money. Additionally, this could save you from having to go really early to an event to find decent parking. It's a handy sounding app, and fortunately, if you don't have a Cadillac, you can get the app on your phone. The only downside to the phone app is that it's not built into the car's infotainment system.

    Spy photos show Trump's new Cadillac-badged rolling fortress

    Fri, Mar 31 2017

    Development on the new presidential limo, oh-so appropriately nicknamed The Beast, is moving along at a GM proving ground. We got a brief glimpse of the Cadillac-badged rolling testament to safety and security late in February thanks to some clever drone work. We now have a new batch of ground-level photos that show the limo cruising around, presumably being put through the vehicle equivalent of boot camp. Currently, President Trump is making do with the first-generation Beast. While still likely safer than anything else on the road, it's starting to be a bit dated. In addition to the updated styling that makes it look like a comically oversized Cadillac CT6, The Beast v2.0 is likely packing a whole new suite of technology and safety equipment. That's just an assumption, as there's no press release with a full list of features. We can't imagine that the government would want everyone knowing what's beneath The Beast's skin. Expect Trump's ride to have reinforced doors, extra-thick glass, and even a filtration system that would protect against a biological attack. There's speculation that it's equipped with tear-gas cannons, similar to one of James Bond's rides. Even the relatively normal-looking tires are likely to be strengthened in some way, allowing them to still roll if punctured. Add up all of the extra reinforcement, and the truck-based ride is likely to have a mass that's equivalent to a small moon. All that tech doesn't come cheap. Expect The Beast to cost taxpayers somewhere around $1.5 million. Hey, it's still less than the new Bugatti Chiron.

    Cadillac CTS-V gets Stealth Blue and Silver Frost limited edition models

    Fri, 15 Feb 2013

    A little more than a year and a half ago, former weekend editor Alex Nunez and I were talking about how sweet it would be for Cadillac to offer a CTS-V in the Corvette's Supersonic Blue paint, and as if General Motors eavesdropped on our conversation, this showed up. And while the Stealth Blue car you see here isn't an exact duplicate of the hot-looking sedan GM showed off in prototype form, it's really close. And really sweet.
    New for 2013, the Cadillac CTS range gets two new colorful editions, starting with the Stealth Blue package available on the CTS-V (in sedan, coupe and wagon bodystyles) as well as the naturally aspirated CTS coupe. In addition to the unique paint, blacked-out grille and dark satin wheels, Stealth Blue cars can also be done up with an optional Twilight Blue leather interior. (And you thought blue-on-blue color schemes died in the '90s.)
    Cadillac is also offering a new Silver Frost package, but it's a bit more exclusive. Only 100 examples will be built, all in CTS-V Coupe form. The Silver Frost paint is a low-gloss matte finish, in that while it technically has a clearcoat covering, it's reduced in a way that the surface still appears flatter than standard paint. Even so, Cadillac states that the car should be hand-washed only.
