If you were at the Spring Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge this past weekend you may have seen this car cruising the strip. I've had no trouble with the car mechanically since the generator was rebuilt two weeks ago. The car was very popular among the crowd and was the only pink Cadillac at Rod Runs. Here's a short video made driving into town>>>>  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VGdwYUBRUw
There was a finished 54 Sedan Cadillac there with the documented original bill of sale, and 41K original miles that sold at the show for 40,000 dollars. I would absolutely expect this pink 57 Coupe Deville to bring much much more finished.

 

Here are some videos >>>>>    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EygB_nq_8GE

I am listing this car for my uncle. He has restored the car and says that it is still not entirely finished. This was originally purchased new here in town by a local lady that was very well known. The local newspapers are doing a story on it for being the 'first pink Cadillac' in town that was bought new for cash by a local bootlegger. I will describe what I can about it, but encourage you to call him if you're seriously interested. Eight65 - Two78 - Zero377 and leave msg or send me and email and I will pass it along to him. Please no spam and only serious inquiries!!

He describes as follows: The car has just over 45,000 original miles on it. The engine, tranny, brakes, body, interior .. pretty much the entire car has been redone, ALL of the power windows work as does the seat also!!! The color is original Dusty Rose Pink from Cadillac and fabric are back to as it was in 1957 when it was bought new. He says it still needs some finishing and it is not a show car, but a great candidate. This car turns heads everywhere he drives it.

The car still needs.. some paint touch up, signal lights aren't working,  detailing, the rear bumper and tail fin crests are redone and sharp, but other pieces will need some more chroming to be show quality. One door panel was never finished due to a negligent upholstery shop, but the panel is there and on the car, and extra SMS original  OEM fabric is included for finishing. The front windshield has a straight crack down.. as he tells me is common to these cars. Some door glasses were recut and replaced, but not all. "J" seals were never installed. The "V"s weren't replaced with new ones, just put on for driving purposes. Door sills were not replaced either.

The GOOD is that the engine was completely rebuilt with everything new or reconditioned by machine shop (around 3000) and runs as it should. The water pump, starter and carb were all replaced or rebuilt. Fuel tank was relined with liquid sealer from Kanter Auto and all fuel lines, and fuel pump was installed new. All the brakes are new. The interior redone all but the one door panel, including headliner, seats, carpet, and kick panels. The seats were redone with Oem fabric from SMS so the car looks like it did when bought! New trunk and door rubber. This car is being driven, and has receipts from all the way back to 1957. NOTE!!! The car comes with two types of ownership papers, the ORIGINAL bill of sale from the local dealership.. which is signed by the original owner, AND the matching tag receipt and tag from when the car was placed in storage in 1971. He says that if a current title is needed, he can easily do so, but he feels that will severely diminish the value of the car! That's where it stayed until the original owner passed away in her 90s over 14 years ago. That's when my uncle purchased it and it has been under restoration ever since. He is currently having health issues and the car has to go. He says he invested almost 23,000 dollars in it and HUNDREDS of man hours, but the car has to go!! So make offers, and if you're a serious buyer, you may end up taking this gorgeous piece of history home!!!

There is a lot more I'm sure you'll need to know that I can't answer, so CALL the owner!! This car is a surprisingly preserved documented piece of Americana! The ORIGINAL pink Cadillac Coupe Deville! I have told you everything he told me about this car. I can say that the car looks fantastic and everyone goes crazy about it!! Give him a call and he can fill you in on all the technical information that I don't understand. Thanks for looking!!

2021 Cadillac CT5-V makes a few changes for its second year

Thu, Jul 9 2020

An order guide for the 2021 Cadillac CT5-V reveals a number of small changes to the sedan's formula going into its second year on the market. Starting with the superficial, the $1,225 Red Obsession Tintcoat exterior color and the $625 CT5-V-exclusive Royal Spice Metallic depart after this model year. They'll be replaced by Infrared Tintcoat and another color exclusive to this model called Rift Metallic. Since all but Summit White and Black Raven are cost-option Premium hues, the new colors should be expected to add to the price. Materially, the interior finish spiffs up with better-quality Modena leather stitched around the steering wheel rim, and Senza leather on the wheel center.    Next year, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will come standard, a promotion over the current wired systems. Getting around the infotainment screens will be easier thanks to a rotary dial that can slide laterally to choose menu items. The digital radio moves up to SiriusXM 360L, providing 4G streaming functionality. For the younger drivers in the family, the Teen Driver System will include Buckle to Drive. On the current CT5-V, the Navigation and Bose Premium Audio Package adds the Cadillac user experience with navigation, a 15-speaker Bose audio system, and an eight-inch configurable Driver Information Center display between the dash cluster gauges. For 2021, the eight-inch display is discontinued, so the package gains wireless phone charging. A new Technology Package replaces the current eight-inch DIC with a 12-inch configurable digital gauge cluster that sprouts a head-up display taken from the Driver Awareness Plus Package. The Technology Package will be included in the Platinum Package that right now costs $6,290, and that automatically adds the $4,190 Premium Package and $1,950 Driver Assist and Advanced Security Package. Based on current prices, the order guide indicates the Platinum Package will cost at least $12,430. Because of such bundling, the same package on the 2020 CT5-V 'roids up the MSRP by $13,730. Without ordering the Platinum Package, both the Navigation and Technology Packages will require the Premium Package.

2020 Cadillac CT4 Review & Buying Guide | Cadillac recommits to the small sedan

Tue, Jun 16 2020

The 2020 Cadillac CT4 is a brand-new entry into the baby luxury sedan space, replacing the ATS. With an excellent rear-wheel-drive chassis and a performance-oriented “V” trim (to be topped by a yet-wilder “Blackwing” model), the CT4 is aimed at the enthusiast end of the segment. Cadillac fields the lone American entry in this class, meaning the CT4Â’s main competitors — the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz A- and CLA-Classes — are all European. However, since it's a bit bigger than those and features a rear-wheel-drive platform (all-wheel drive is available), it's hardly an apples-to-apples situation. The Genesis G70 is perhaps a closer comparable. In any event, the CT4 is a compelling, American alternative that delivers excellent comfort, interior quality and driving dynamics at a price that strongly challenges the various competitors from Europe. What's new for 2020? The Cadillac CT4 is new for 2020, alongside the bigger CT5. You can check out our first drive of the hot CT4-V model for more on CadillacÂ’s new sedan strategy. 2020 Cadillac CT4 View 4 Photos What's the CT4's interior and in-car technology like? The Cadillac CT4 packs the sort of high-quality materials and convenience features one expects from an entry-level luxury model. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and in higher-end models, the front buckets are offered with heat, ventilation and massage features. The CT4 also boasts what GM calls a “sound-optimized” interior coupled with active noise cancellation and amplification to mitigate unpleasant frequencies and enhance desirable ones. In all, we find the CT4Â’s interior much more compelling than that found in other recent Cadillac products such as the new XT4 crossover. The infotainment system is controlled by an 8-inch touchscreen with an optional rotary-control interface. The base setup includes Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa integration and offers USB Type-A and Type-C connectivity and charging. Upgrades include navigation and multiple Bose audio packages, all of which bring with them wireless device charging. How big is the CT4? Like many of CadillacÂ’s previous sport sedans, the CT4 is a bit of an oddball size-wise for the segment it targets, stretching more than a foot longer than the Audi A3 and nearly 9 inches longer than the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. However, this doesn't translate into a comparable interior space advantage because of the CT4 rear-wheel-drive platform.

Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ

Tue, Sep 30 2014

A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader. Elon Musk will speak at the Automotive News World Congress in January. The Tesla CEO is a featured speaker for the program, "Setting the Pace in a Thriving Market."

Production of the Toyota Rav4 EV has ended. The shipment of the final Toyota EVs concludes Toyota's deal to source batteries from Tesla. Of the 2,600 Rav4 EVs to be produced, there are probably just a few hundred left to be sold, most of which are likely to be gone by the end of October. Read more at Inside EVs. Cadillac will likely show an improved version of the ELR at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The 2016 ELR will include unspecified "engineering enhancements," according to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell. There will be no 2015 model, as the 2014 model will be sold until the 2016 ELR goes on sale in the first half 2015. Read more at Edmunds. Uber executives, along with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, have announced a major expansion of the ride-hailing company's Chicago headquarters. Uber also plans to add 420 jobs by the end of 2016.
