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

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!!

Cadillac CT6 PHEV battery shape a big departure for GM's plug-in hybrid tech
Thu, Apr 23 2015Anyone with any familiarity with the electric powertrain details for the two General Motors plug-in hybrids will have noticed that the information we have about the newly announced Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid has a lot of numbers in common with the Chevy Volt and the Cadillac ELR, like the 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an expected all-electric range of 37 miles. We also noticed that the announcement calls the plug-in CT6 hybrid an actual plug-in hybrid and not an "extended range electric vehicle (EREV)," which is what GM calls the Volt and the ELR. This, of course, means we needed to ask GM some questions. Donny Nordlicht from Cadillac communications told AutoblogGreen that while the Volt and CT6 batteries are both 18.4-kWh, the shape is completely different. In the Volt/ELR, the battery is T-shaped (see it here). The CT6 has four seats, with a tunnel running between the two in the rear, as you can see here, but the battery in the CT6 PHEV is "a cube-shaped pack, which is between rear seats and the trunk," Nordlicht said. "There is no pass through." GM has not yet released any technical schematics about this pack, but Nordlicht said that, "The CT6's advanced mixed-material platform was designed to accommodate the PHEV system by design so that it minimally intrudes on the cabin space." It also means that the CT6 can be ordered as an optional PHEV, while the Volt and ELR were purpose-built plug-ins. GM is also distinguishing between the EREV and PHEV powertrains in its vehicles from this point forward. "We are not discarding the EREV language," Nordlicht said. "The CT6 utilizes a two-motor system mated to a 2.0T 4-cylinder engine, which is an all-new system to Cadillac." We assume that the PHEV packs will use li-ion cells from LG Chem, just like the EREVs do, but Nordlicht did not answer our question on that point. As for other details about the CT6 PHEV – like production, full dimension, and pricing – we will just have to wait until closer to when the vehicle launches for those. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1997 Cadillac Catera
Sun, Jun 16 2024GM's Cadillac Division was having a tough time in the early 1990s, with an onslaught of Lexuses and Infinitis pouring across the Pacific to steal their younger customers while high-end German manufacturers picked off their older customers. Flying an S-Class-priced model between assembly lines in Turin and Hamtramck hadn't worked out, so why not look to the European outposts of the far-flung GM Empire for the next Cadillac? That's how the Catera was born, and I have found a rare first-year example in a North Carolina car graveyard. Across the Atlantic, GM's Opel and Vauxhall were doing good business with prosperous European car buyers by selling them the sleek rear-wheel-drive Omega B (whose platform also lived beneath the Holden VT Commodore in Australia). Here was a genuine German design that competed with success against BMW and Audi on their home turf! So, the Omega B was Americanized and renamed the Catera. Opel wasn't a completely unknown brand to Americans at the time, since its cars were sold here with their own badging through Buick dealerships from the middle 1950s through the late 1970s (for a much shorter period, American Pontiac dealers attempted to sell Vauxhalls). Even after that, plenty of Opel DNA showed up in the products of U.S.-market GM divisions. The Catera was by far the most affordable Cadillac for 1997, with an MSRP starting at $29,995 (about $59,113 in 2024 dollars). Being a genuine German car, it looked much more convincingly European than the DeVille ($36,995), Eldorado ($37,995) and Seville ($39,995). Inspired by the ducks on the Cadillac emblem (they were really supposed to be martlets, mythical birds with no feet and occasionally lacking beaks), Cadillac's marketers went after youthful car shoppers with a whimsical animated duck named Ziggy. For the 21st century, the birds were removed from the Cadillac emblem in order to attract California buyers under 45 years of age. As we all know, the Catera flopped hard in the marketplace. What sold well in Europe turned out not to translate so well in in North America, especially when bearing the badges of such a historically prestigious brand. The Catera's engine was a 54-degree 3.0-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet. Just as had been the case with its predecessor, the Allante, no manual transmission was available.
Cadillac ad boss is happy controversial Poolside TV ad created debate
Thu, Mar 6 2014Remember Cadillac's controversial commercial for it ELR plug-in hybrid? Did you find it provocative? If so, that's a good thing according to the brand's advertising director, Craig Bierley. First aired during NBC's coverage of the Olympic opening ceremony, the minute-long spot returned to the tele again this weekend, bookending the Academy Awards on ABC. Titled Poolside, the bit was meant as "brand provocation" and whether you enjoyed it or not – sentiment is said to run 3:1 on the pro side – we can probably all agree it fulfilled its role as such. If you were one of those who felt the ad erred on the side of nationalistic consumerism (or what have you), your anger might be somewhat assuaged after reading this article from Advertising Age in which Bierley addresses most of what he believes are misconceptions about the message. For one, the spot isn't aimed at the One Percent, just those who make $200,000 a year. Or, as Craig Bierley, Cadillac's advertising director, calls them, "people who haven't been given anything." Bierley told Advertising Age that the spot doesn't celebrate workaholicsm, instead, "We're not making a statement saying, 'We want people to work hard.' What we're saying is that hard work has its payoffs.'" While our commentors seemed mostly to enjoy discussing the value proposition that is (or is not, depending on your point of view) the Cadillac ELR, the majority appeared to enjoy the commercial. If you were one of those offended, however, let us know if your opinion has changed upon reading Cadillac's defense. If you don't remember what all the fuss was about, scroll below to take another dip in Poolside.
