1957 Cadillac Series 62 Used To Fix Eldorado ( 1955 1956 1958 Sabre ) No Reserve on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Maryland, United States

1957 Cadillac Convertible Series 62 Original Black Car Paint Code 10 Unreal Body with No Rot (The car in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts) This car is a very solid and desirable car. A good friend of mine had a mint condition 1957 Eldorado that was burnt in a fire. He wanted to restore his burnt Eldorado, and purchased this excellent Series 62 to pull some parts. The Series 62 was a running and driving car that was 100% complete in 2009, but is now stripped, and just a shell of what it used to be. I have been waiting to purchase this car, and since I have a Cadillac scrap yard, I was able to gather a lot of parts in anticipation of receiving it. Unfortunately, I have too many other projects and I can't go forward with this one. Instead, I am offering it on eBay with no reserve and can eventually help someone restore the car with the parts I had originally gathered. Pieces that I had gathered include some of the stainless trim pieces that are rare. Some are from the Eldorado that burned and may some windshield trim has a "smoke stain", but they can be flash plated and are fortunately not warped or bent. These parts are very rare, so plating the smoke stained parts are one of the few routes to take with this restoration. As stated earlier, the cleanest parts went to the Eldorado show car. I have a Cadillac scrap yard with parts ranging from 1950-1964. We have tried to add in as many parts as we have here. Please call for more details anytime 301 672 1000. If the car is not paid for within 72 hour of the end of the auction, it will be for sale at Carlisle and Hershey car shows. One of the main challenges for the new owner of this 1957 Series 62, will be finding a rear speaker, rear view mirror, the sun visor brackets (repo on EBAY), and the rear interior panels that hold the ash tray right and left) reproduction from Classic Fabrication out of New England. Key points of the car:
Engine: It ran in 2009 before it was dismantled for parts. We have not started the car. The carb was not with the car so we set a correct carb core on the manifold. Body: Super solid. We do not see ANY rust on the trunk, floors and rockers. One the best I have ever seen. The BODY IS UNREAL. Interior: The back seats are very rare. They came from the Eldorado that was burnt. The top and bottom are in good shape, and were not rusty before the fire. For the front seat, I have nice tracks and side covers for the bottom with the switch. I have 2 sets of backs, I have a marginal seat bottom and center arm rest. The dash pad needs redone, and the cluster is set in and not the original cluster from this car but reads 38.XXX miles. It's not pitted, and the front door panels are original red pieces to the car. We do not have the rear interior panels, but they are available. Also you can make them We have the right and left UPPER interior trim for the rear, as they are hard to find elsewhere.They are screwed in. Doors: The doors are 1958 doors i put on the car, as I did not have nice 57 doors. I am including some rough doors from a 1957 that have the Convertible only vent windows and would be good to keep for a model for assembly.I may get some 1957 nice doors I primed the ones on the car and realized they were for 1958. Transmission: It is original. Windshield Trim: We have all the trim except the sun visors and brackets and rear view mirror assembly. Some was scorched by fire and will need to be flash plated as they are very rare and you will probably not be able to find others. I even have the small stainless in the center that acts as a cover. Most people loose this part. Side trim: It is nice but one of the long strips has screws on the driver side. I will include another one for spare. Convertible parts: The top frame is from the burnt car and was never rusty. It is amazing shape and set in the car , This series 62 has a 4 piece snap pinch well trim that is very nice. Rear quarter windows and regulators are included with tracks as pictured as well as some hardware. Some rare convertible parts that will be included are pictured below:
No rust under hood lip. Thin molding is nice R & L Beautiful inner rockers 1958 doors primed in error, please call We can assist with world wide shipping and transport for a fee.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show
Wed, 06 Aug 2014There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.
